Abstract

Hospitalized male alcoholics were administered the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), the MMPI, and the Shipley-Hartford Intelligence scale. When Ss were divided into three age groups and three intelligence groups, it was found that both age and intelligence influence the personality pattern of alcoholics. In comparison with the normative group for the EPPS, alcoholics score lower in Aggression, Affiliation, Autonomy and Dominance but higher in Abasement and Change.
