The relationship between drinking patterns at therapy termination and intake and termination status on social variables: a replication study.

The interpersonal support, residence, and employment status of 198 alcoholics were assessed both at intake and at therapy termination. At question was the comparative strength of association between the social status variables when assessed at intake versus termination with drinking patterns at termination of therapy. Results indicated the magnitude of association was very high for termination social variables and minimal to nonexistent for intake social variables. The study was replicated with a group of 171 alcoholics with virtually identical results. The implications of these results for assessing alcohol treatment outcomes are discussed.

Physical attractiveness, social relations, and personality style.

The relationship between physical attractiveness, social contact with members of the same and opposite sex, and personality factors was determined. Sixty male and 60 female university freshmen who were rejected, accepted, or unknown to their same-sex peers served as subjects. A reliable rating of physical attractiveness by independent judges showed that rejected subjects were most attractive, accepted subjects were next most attractive and unknown subjects were least attractive. There was a positive relationship between physical attractiveness and dating for females, but not for males. A factor analysis of subjects' personality inventory scores and subsequent analyses of variance of personality factors by sociometric groups showed that rejected subjects of both sexes were independent, achieving, and ambitious; accepted subjects were affiliative and affectionate; and isolated subjects were emotionally constricted, defensive, and withdrawn.
