The authors investigated the interactive contribution of patient characteristics and staff perceptions of the patient to decisions concerning the provision of continued alcoholism treatment following an initial 2-week evaluation period. Staff perceptions contributed significantly more to an individual's acceptance or rejection than did patient characteristics. A high interpersonal attractiveness rating also led to a significantly more positive evaluation of the patients' level of intelligence, knowledge of current events, morality, and adjustment. The present results and research findings with general psychiatric populations are compared.
作者们研究了患者特征以及工作人员对患者的看法在经过最初为期两周的评估期后，对有关提供持续酒精成瘾治疗决策的交互作用。与患者特征相比，工作人员的看法对个体是否接受治疗的影响要显著得多。较高的人际吸引力评分也会使对患者的智力水平、时事知识、道德和适应能力的评价明显更积极。本文将目前的研究结果与针对普通精神病患者群体的研究发现进行了比较。
