|
|
This study was carried out to compare the views and motivations of the drinking between alcoholics and nonalcoholics.
The questionnaires of 35 items were applied to 67 alcoholics who were admitted to mental hospital and 74 nonalcoholics. The scores for the views and motivations of the drinking and factor analyses of them were compared. The results were as follows. 1) Alcoholics were lower educated, more in blue-collar occupations, more divorced and had a higher family tendency than nonalcoholics (p<0.05). 2) The mean score of the factor ‘goal-directed drinking’ was lower in alcoholics than in nonalcoholics (p<0.05). Both of alcoholics and nonalcoholics viewed our drinking culture first as entertaining, second as group cohesive and third as goal-directed drinking in the order (p<0.01). 3) Alcoholics preferred to drink to eliminate negative feelings (personal factors) than nonalcoholics (p<0.01).
