The Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (RAS) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory A-Trait Scale (STAI) were administered to male university students and nonacademic staff. Subjects classified as "at-risk" on the basis of a history of alcoholism in a first-degree relative (N = 30) were compared to controls with no such family histories (N = 30). The two groups were matched on demographic variables and drinking history. No significant differences were found between the groups on the traits of anxiety or assertiveness, although the subjects hypothesized to be at higher risk for alcoholism showed a trend toward higher assertiveness scores. These findings are not consistent with the hypothesis that higher levels of anxiety and/or lower levels of assertiveness predispose an individual toward the development of alcoholism.
对男性大学生和非学术人员进行了拉瑟斯自信量表（RAS）和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表A-特质量表（STAI）测试。根据一级亲属中有酗酒史将受试者分类为“高危”组（N = 30），并与无此类家族史的对照组（N = 30）进行比较。两组在人口统计学变量和饮酒史方面进行了匹配。尽管假设为酗酒高危的受试者的自信得分有升高趋势，但两组在焦虑或自信特质方面未发现显著差异。这些发现与焦虑水平较高和/或自信水平较低会使个体易患酗酒症的假设不一致。
