Previous research has shown that clinicians' perceptions of alcoholic patients' interpersonal attractiveness exert an influence on clinical decision processes. The present study investigated the relationship between clinicians' perceptions of alcoholic patients, as measured by Byrne's Interpersonal Judgment Scale, and patients' personality, cognitive, and demographic characteristics. The results suggest that the male alcoholic patient is more likely to be perceived favorably if he is young and exhibits behaviors that correspond to clinicians' treatment expectations. Overall, the measured personality characteristics of patients accounted for only small proportions of the variance in clinician's ratings of patients attractiveness. Alternative interpretations of these data are discussed with reference to subsequent research efforts.
先前的研究表明，临床医生对酗酒患者人际吸引力的认知会对临床决策过程产生影响。本研究调查了临床医生通过伯恩人际判断量表所衡量的对酗酒患者的认知与患者的个性、认知及人口统计学特征之间的关系。结果表明，如果男性酗酒患者年轻且表现出符合临床医生治疗期望的行为，那么他更有可能被给予正面评价。总体而言，患者的个性特征在临床医生对患者吸引力评分的差异中所占比例较小。本文结合后续研究工作对这些数据的其他解释进行了讨论。
