Alcoholism is linked to higher interpersonal dependency in men. This dependency is a core trait of the alcoholic personality, regardless of whether depression is also present.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Addiction Research

Background:

  • Interpersonal dependency is a personality trait that may be associated with alcoholism.
  • Understanding this relationship is crucial for developing effective treatment strategies for alcohol use disorder.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between interpersonal dependency and alcoholism in male subjects.
  • To determine if depression influences the association between dependency and alcoholism.

Main Methods:

  • Two groups of male subjects were studied: 41 with primary alcoholism and 50 healthy controls.
  • Participants completed the Interpersonal Dependency Inventory (IDI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
  • Alcoholic subjects were categorized into depressive and non-depressive subgroups based on BDI scores.

Main Results:

  • Alcoholic subjects scored significantly higher on the IDI compared to healthy controls.
  • No significant differences in IDI scores were found between the depressive and non-depressive subgroups of alcoholics.
  • Interpersonal dependency appears to be a characteristic of the alcoholic personality, independent of secondary depression.

Conclusions:

  • Interpersonal dependency is a significant trait associated with primary alcoholism in men.
  • The level of interpersonal dependency in alcoholics is not influenced by the presence or absence of secondary depression.
