Alcoholism, sex-role orientation and psychological distress
Abstract:
Distribution of scores on the Bem Sex Role Inventory obtained from 69 randomly selected alcoholics was found not to differ significantly from that reported in normative data (Bem, 1974). Sexually androgynous alcoholics (N = 21), those able to affirm about themselves characteristics ordinarily attributed to both males and females, scored significantly lower on MMPI scales D, PD, PT, and SI and and higher on MA than a nonandrogynous group (N = 21) of alcoholics. The results were discussed in terms of alcoholics varying along psychopathological and nonpsychopathological scales in a manner similar to "normal" Ss.
