The purpose of the study was to determine if autogenic relaxation training facilitated through biofeedback promotes an increase in internal levels of locus of control. The participants were residents of two Southwest Missouri alcohol treatment centers and ranged in age from 18 to 21 years. Treatment and control groups were compared on their responses on the Drinking Related Locus of Control Scale (DRIE) and fingertip temperature pre- and posttraining. The training was effective in teaching autogenic relaxation as demonstrated by increased fingertip temperature for the treatment group posttraining, while no differences were observed for the control group. Most importantly, the treatment group was not only significantly more internal in their locus of control after training but were also significantly more internal than the control group posttraining. Given that alcoholics are significantly more external in their locus of control than nonalcoholics, and that an internal locus of control implies an individual's belief that he or she has control and is responsible for his or her behavior, autogenic relaxation facilitated through biofeedback may be a very important component in therapeutic intervention for adolescent alcoholics.
该研究的目的是确定通过生物反馈促进的自生放松训练是否会促使内控点的内在水平提高。参与者是密苏里州西南部两个酒精治疗中心的居民，年龄在18至21岁之间。比较了治疗组和对照组在饮酒相关内控点量表（DRIE）上的反应以及训练前后的指尖温度。训练有效地教授了自生放松，治疗组训练后指尖温度升高表明了这一点，而对照组未观察到差异。最重要的是，治疗组不仅在训练后内控点明显更偏向内在，而且在训练后也明显比对照组更偏向内在。鉴于酗酒者在内控点上比非酗酒者明显更偏向外在，并且内控点意味着个人相信自己能够控制并对自己的行为负责，通过生物反馈促进的自生放松可能是青少年酗酒者治疗干预中非常重要的一个组成部分。
