Correlated neuropsychological performance and three dimensions of Locus of Control (LOC) were examined in 62 hospitalized male chronic alcoholics and 24 non-alcoholic males drawn from the community. Performance deficits in alcoholic Ss correlated significantly with high scores on the Chance (LOC-C) and Powerful Others (LOC-PO) scales for approximately half of the measures employed, while no such correlations were significant in the controls. Correlations between performance and scores on the Internal (LOC-I) scale were negligible. Controls scored significantly higher than alcoholics on the Internal dimension; Chance and Powerful Others orientation were not significantly different in the two groups. From these and other results we conclude: (a) alcoholics and controls manifest similar but not identical LOC orientations; (b) alcoholics and controls show different relationships between neuropsychological performance and LOC orientation; and (c) the correlation between LOC variables and performance in alcoholics cannot account for the widespread differences in performance levels between the two groups.
对62名住院男性慢性酒精中毒者和24名来自社区的非酒精中毒男性进行了相关神经心理学表现与控制点（LOC）三个维度的研究。在大约一半所采用的测量方法中，酒精中毒受试者的表现缺陷与机遇（LOC-C）和他人力量（LOC-PO）量表上的高分显著相关，而在对照组中，此类相关性并不显著。表现与内控（LOC-I）量表得分之间的相关性可忽略不计。在内在维度上，对照组的得分显著高于酒精中毒者；两组在机遇和他人力量取向上没有显著差异。从这些以及其他结果中我们得出结论：（a）酒精中毒者和对照组表现出相似但不完全相同的控制点取向；（b）酒精中毒者和对照组在神经心理学表现与控制点取向之间呈现出不同的关系；（c）控制点变量与酒精中毒者表现之间的相关性无法解释两组在表现水平上广泛存在的差异。
