The present study was designed, first, to attempt to replicate the previously derived Goldstein and Linden Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory alcoholic personality subtypes, and second, to relate these personality patterns to a multidimensional measure of alcohol usage. Two of the previously obtained profile types were replicated through two independent cluster analytic procedures. These subtypes were defined as psychopathic and neurotic-depressive, respectively. Higher levels of drinking-related impairment were associated with anxiety and depression, while lower levels of impairment were related to psychopathic features among patients hospitalized primarily for alcoholism. However, relatively heterogeneous, distinctive configurations of reported drinking benefits, styles, and consequences were found across the Goldstein-Linden subtypes. Methodological factors potentially contributing to the failure to replicate two of the previously derived subtypes were discussed. The potential therapeutic utility of a multivariate classification of personality functioning and the use of a multidimensional assessment of alcohol usage within alcoholic populations was also discussed.
本研究的设计目的，其一，是试图复制先前得出的戈德斯坦和林登明尼苏达多相人格调查表酒精相关人格亚型，其二，是将这些人格模式与酒精使用的多维测量联系起来。通过两种独立的聚类分析程序复制了先前获得的两种剖面图类型。这些亚型分别被定义为精神病态型和神经症抑郁型。在主要因酒精中毒住院的患者中，与饮酒相关的较高损害水平与焦虑和抑郁有关，而较低的损害水平与精神病态特征有关。然而，在戈德斯坦 - 林登亚型中发现了报告的饮酒益处、方式和后果的相对异质、独特的构型。讨论了可能导致未能复制先前得出的两种亚型的方法学因素。还讨论了人格功能多变量分类在酒精人群中的潜在治疗效用以及酒精使用多维评估的应用。
