All of the 123 subjects of this study had been referred for treatment by their employers and 94% had been threatened with job loss unless their work performance improved. The employers and the subjects perceived equally intense levels of pressure placed upon the subjects to change drinking behavior when they entered treatment. Both perceived a significant drop in pressure during the year following treatment, with the subjects indicating more change than the employers. Drop in perceived pressure was directly related to treatment outcome. Implications for constructive confrontation as a motivational tool are discussed.
本研究的123名受试者均由其雇主转介接受治疗，94%的受试者曾被威胁若工作表现无改善将面临失业。雇主和受试者都认为，受试者在接受治疗时，为改变饮酒行为所承受的压力强度相同。双方都认为在治疗后的一年里压力显著下降，受试者表示的变化比雇主更多。感知压力的下降与治疗结果直接相关。文中讨论了将建设性对抗作为一种激励工具的意义。
