Sixty addicts, health professionals, and counseling students were administered the Internal-External Locus of Control Test and the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List to determine if stereotypes exist between the subject groups, the nature of the stereotypes, and if educational level alters the stereotypes. The findings demonstrated gross misperception of addict clients by the health professionals and students, particularly toward psychotic and hostile dimensions. Educational level was found to improve the accuracy of the nonaddict perceptions. The study concludes with a discussion of the findings as they pertain to development of the counselor-client relationship, recidivism, and treatment of substance abuse clients.
60名成瘾者、健康专业人员和咨询专业学生接受了内控点与外控点测试以及多重情感形容词检查表测试，以确定不同受试群体之间是否存在刻板印象、刻板印象的性质，以及教育水平是否会改变这些刻板印象。研究结果表明，健康专业人员和学生对成瘾者客户存在严重的误解，尤其是在精神病态和敌对维度方面。研究发现教育水平能够提高非成瘾者认知的准确性。研究最后讨论了这些研究结果与咨询师-客户关系的发展、复吸以及药物滥用客户治疗的相关性。
