This purpose of this study is to analyze various factors affecting alcoholism relapse according to genders, and to examine how and why gender plays a role in an individual`s relapse. Among 108 male and 108 female alcoholics, several trends emerged within the context of this study. First, the rate of alcoholism relapse among men was higher than women. For factors of relapse, men scored higher than women in both negative emotions and a family history. On the other hand, women scored higher than men in individual levels of empowerment and levers of social support. Second, according to a regression analysis on the effects of relapse factors on the relapse rate, insight affects the rate of relapse significantly among men; however there is no notable factors of relapse that affects the rate of relapse among women. Third, the effect of insight on the relapse rate for individuals with alcoholism is very different. Higher levels of insight yield higher rates of relapse fer men while relapse rates for women - having similar insight - tend to remain relatively steady.
