    Higher MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale scores in college women correlate with dysfunctional stress coping, increased substance use, and seeking professional help. These findings support the scale's use in this demographic.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Addiction Studies

    Background:

    • The MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale (MAS) was developed for male alcoholics.
    • Its applicability to female college students warrants investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the correlation between MAS scores and coping styles in college women.
    • To assess the utility of the MAS in a non-male alcoholic college student population.

    Main Methods:

    • Correlational analysis was performed on data from 66 college women.
    • MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale scores were compared with reported coping styles.

    Main Results:

    • Higher MAS scores were associated with feeling more dysfunctional under stress.

  • Individuals with higher scores showed increased propensity for using drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms.
  • A greater tendency to seek help from others, including professionals, was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale demonstrates utility in identifying maladaptive coping mechanisms in college women.
    • Findings suggest the MAS can be a valuable tool for assessing coping strategies and potential substance use issues in this population, despite its original development context.
