Self-awareness, self-consciousness and the self-control of drunken comportmentRoss, David Francis. January 1987 (has links)
The influence of a primarily Public form of self-awareness and of Private and Public Self-Consciousness on drunken physical aggression and complex reaction-time were examined. Two forms of the balanced-placebo design were employed. Results indicated that each form of self-focus played a significant role in the determination of various aspects of drunken comportment. Consumption of alcohol did not eliminate self-aware behavior on the measures employed. Public Self-Consciousness acted to increase drunken impairment. A modified form of the balanced-placebo design proved superior to the standard version for use with moderately high doses (1.32 ml/kg) of alcohol on a measure of subjective intoxication. The implications for the literature on self-focus and drunken comportment are discussed.

Adult offspring of alcoholic parents: development and investigation of the psychometric properties of the behavior role scaleSchneider, John Donald 11 1900 (has links)
The primary objective of this study was the development and investigation of the
psychometric properties of a measurement instrument based on the integrated model of
behavior roles of offspring of alcoholic parents (Schneider, 1989,1995). The Behavior
Role Scale was developed utilizing Crocker and Algina's (1986) 10 step instrument
development process and deals directly with the concepts of the original models of
behavior roles of offspring of alcoholic parents (Black, 1981; Booz-Allen & Hamilton,
1974; Deutsch, 1983; Kritzberg, 1985; Wegscheider, 1981). The first three steps of the
instrument development were completed in an earlier investigation (Schneider, 1989). In
this investigation, steps 4 - 8 were completed.
The following activities were undertaken: step 4, the construction of an initial
pool of items; step 5, the review and revision of the items with the assistance of a panel
of experts; step 6, a preliminary tryout of the items in a pilot test; step 7, a field test of
the instrument with a nonclinical sample of offspring of alcoholic parents and offspring
of nonalcoholic parents; and, step 8, initial investigation of the psychometric properties
of the behavior role scale.
This investigation contributed the following findings. The field test yielded
reliability estimates of .72 for the Caretaker, .67 for the Super Achiever, .86 for the
Invisible One, .89 for the Jester, .78 for the Rebel, and an overall alpha of .88. Initial
validity was indicated by the emergence of a five factor model as the most interpretable
factor analysis solution. The performance of the Behavior Role Scale was also
investigated using six validity issues identified in the literature. Offspring of alcoholic
parents, offspring of nonalcoholic parents who had experienced a significant family
disruption, and offspring of nonalcoholic parents who had not experienced a significant
family disruption had significantly different scores with the Super Achiever, Invisible
One, and Rebel roles. The three groups did not demonstrate significant differences with the Caretaker or Jester roles. Additional significant differences were discovered with the
Jester and Rebel roles among offspring of alcoholic fathers when they were compared
according to their fathers' pattern of drinking.
The findings of this investigation add to the research evidence which suggests that
refinements need to be made to improve the clinical and psycho-educational uses of the
behavior roles of offspring of alcoholic parents. Recommendations for future research
include submitting the Behavior Role Scale to construct validation studies in order to
further refine its ability to measure behavior roles and to be of assistance to researchers
seeking to unravel the complexities of life for more than 28 million offspring of alcoholic
parents. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

Volitional ethanol consumption as a function of auditorily induced stressHenry, Rolando Roberto 01 January 1973 (has links)
The literature on alcohol is replete with studies attempting to determine whether or not the relief of tension (i.e.; certain hypothesized aversive states such as fear, anxiety, and frustration, which ~an influence behavior) plays a role in the etiology of moderate and excessive drinking by humans. The classic presentation of the tension reduction hypothesis (TRH) by Conger (1956) provided the impetus for the analysis of chronic alcohol consumption using animal subjects. By applying established behaviorist principles to the problem of chronic excessive drinking he developed a theory which accounts fer this behavioral phenomenon. ·According to his theory, the response of drinking alcohol is one of many possible tension reducing responses in the organism's repertoire. This theory suggests that the human user of alcohol exhibits the drinking response as a consequence of some tension state and that the sedative action of alcohol serves as a reinforcer of the response by reducing the tension state.

Bedryfsielkundige ondersoek na die verband tussen gehalte van werklewe en persoonlikheid by 'n groep alkoholisteSwanepoel, André Johan 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The research question in this study involves the subjective
experiences of quality of worklife (QWL) by alcoholics and
non-alcoholics, in order to form an idea about the
differences in such experiences, between the two groups.
Personality is related throughout to QWL and alcoholism.
A sample consisting of 60 alcoholics and 58 non alcoholics
was used. Personality measurements were done by using
Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16-PF)
whilst experienced QWL was measured with the self developed
QWL-questionnaire. In order to test the hypotheses for
this study, the data has been processed by using Pearson's
Product-moment coefficient of correlation and t-tests.
The results from the study indicate a significant
relationship between personality and certain exclusive QWLdimensions
for alcoholics. There is however, no
significant difference in the subjective experiences of
global QWL between alcoholics and non-alcoholics. Several
personality factors have been identified as being related
to alcoholism. / Die navorsingsvraagstuk in hierdie studie betrek die subj ektiewe
ervaring van gehalte van werklewe (GWL) deur alkoholiste en niealkoholiste,
ten einde 'n begrip te vorm van die verskil in sodanige
ervaring, tussen die twee groepe. Persoonlikheid word deurgaans in
verband gebring met GWL en alkoholisme.
'n Steekproef bestaande uit 60 alkoholiste en 58 nie-alkoholiste is
gebruik. Persoonlikheidsmetings is met die 16-Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys
van Cattell gedoen terwyl ervaarde GWL met die selfontwerpte
GWL-vraelys gemeet is. Ten einde hierdie studie se hipoteses te
toets, is die data verwerk deur van Pearson se produkmomentkorrelasiekoeffisient
en t-toetse gebruik te maak.
Die studie se resultate dui op 'n beduidende verband tussen
persoonlikheid en sekere eksklusiewe GWL-dimensies by alkoholiste.
Daar bestaan egter geen beduidende verskil in die subjektiewe
ervaring van globale GWL tussen alkoholiste en nie-alkoholiste nie.
Daar is etlike persoonlikheidsfaktore geidentifiseer wat met
alkoholisme verband hou. / Industrial and Organizational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial Psychology)

An impact assessment of a current inpatient alcohol rehabilitation programme in the Western CapeDavis, Lauren (Lauren Jodi) 12 1900 (has links)
Assignment (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the South African context, research on the impact of alcohol rehabilitation is particularly
limited. This study aimed at describing the impact of the alcohol rehabilitation programme
offered at Neuro Clinic D, Stikland Hospital. Outcome was assessed at 12-15 months with the
objective of exploring the perceptions and experiences of the ex-patients to ascertain whether
there has been an improvement in psychological well-being and positive lifestyle changes. The
study was motivated by a request made by the staff at Neuro Clinic D; as such an investigation
has never been conducted. Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used to gather
data from 44 out of the 166 ex-patients admitted to Neuro Clinic D between January and June
2002. The relationships between the rate of relapse and age, gender, marital status, employment
status, previous rehabilitation, health problems, police contact, aftercare attendance, participation
in the 3- or 4- week programme and other medication/substance abuse were explored. While no
statistically significant relationships were found between any of the variables, some evidence of
interaction emerged with regards to the relationships between relapse status and participation in
the 3- or 4-week programme, aftercare attendance, employment and marital status. The
qualitative analysis revealed four central themes, namely coping mechanisms; responses to
specific components of the programme; confounding factors and the impact of the programme.
An integration of the quantitative and qualitative data supports the conclusion that while there
was a low rate of consistent abstinence, the respondents reported an overall post-treatment
improvement in psychological well-being and positive lifestyle changes. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Navorsing op die impak van alcohol rehabilitasie is besonder beperk in die Suid-Afrikaanse
konteks. Hierdie studie het ten doelom die impak van die alcohol rehabilitasie program, gebied
deur Neuro Kliniek D, Stikland Hospitaal, te beskryf. Die uitkoms is bepaal na 12-15 maande
deur die persepsies en envaringe van eks-pasiente te ondersoek om sodoende vas te stelof daar
verbetering was in sielkundige welstand en of positiewe leefstyle veranderinge aangegaan is.
Die betrokke studie is gemotiveer deur 'n versoek gerig deur die personeel van Neuro Kliniek D,
aangesien so 'n ondersoek nog nooit vantevore gedoen is nie. Beide kwantitatiewe en
kwalitatiewe metodologieë is gebruik om data in te samel van 44 die 166 eks-pasiente toegelaat
tot Neuro Kliniek D tussen Januarie en Junie 2002. Die korrelasie/verhouding tussen die
terugvalkoers en ouderdom, geslag, huwelikstatus, werkstatus, vonge rehabilitasie,
gesondheidsprobleme, polisie kontak, nasorg bywoning, deelname in die 3- of 4-week program
en ander medikasie/substans misbruik is ondersoek. Terwyl geen statisties beduidende
verhoudinge gevind is tussen enige van die veranderlikes nie, is daar wel aanduidings van
interaksie met betrekking tot die verhouding tussen terugvalstatus en deelname aan die 3- of 4-
week program, nasorg bywoning, werkstatus en huwelikstatus. Die kwalitatiewe analise het 4
sentrale temas onthul, naamlik, hanteringsmeganismes; response tot spesifieke komponente van
die program; verydelende faktore en die impak van die program. 'n Integrasie van die
kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe data steun die gevolgtrekking dat alhoewel daar 'n lae voorkoms
was van volgehoue onthouding, die respondente wel 'n algemene verbetering in sielkundige
welstand en postiewe leefstyle veranderinge na behandeling gerapporteer het.
