Levels of social competence and maladaptive behaviors were examined among 184 male and 85 female treatment-seeking cocaine abusers. Social competence was assessed based on indices of functioning at work and in relationships, maladaptive behaviors included severity of drug and legal problems, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Consistent with developmental interpretations, results indicated that addicts with comorbid depression had higher social competence than those with comorbid antisocial personality disorders. In contrast with research on other psychiatric groups, female addicts had lower social competence than males; however, they also had lower levels of maladaptive behaviors. Findings are discussed in terms of implications for preventive interventions and treatment for drug abusers.
在184名寻求治疗的男性可卡因滥用者和85名女性可卡因滥用者中，对社交能力水平和适应不良行为进行了研究。社交能力是根据工作和人际关系中的功能指标进行评估的，适应不良行为包括药物和法律问题的严重程度以及人际关系方面的困难。与发展性解释一致，结果表明，患有共病抑郁症的成瘾者比患有共病反社会人格障碍的成瘾者具有更高的社交能力。与其他精神疾病群体的研究相反，女性成瘾者的社交能力低于男性；然而，她们的适应不良行为水平也较低。从对药物滥用者预防干预和治疗的影响方面对研究结果进行了讨论。
