在这项研究中，6，386名男性和5，990名女性，平均年龄为55岁，构成随机样本，由访谈者进行了与自我调节量和饮酒状况有关的问卷调查。然后他们被跟踪了20年。期间，并确定健康状况（生活良好，慢性病或死亡）。据推测，酒精的有害影响会更糟的自我调节低;健康状况会更差的人在饮酒减少自我调节，与那些人相比，饮酒改善自我调节;吸烟会有更大的影响，降低健康状况的人在饮酒减少自我调节比那些在饮酒改善自我调节。所有的预测都得到了具有高度统计学意义的数据的证实。结果证实了早期研究的结果，即自我调节等心理因素强烈影响饮酒对健康的影响。
In this study, 6,386 males and 5,990 females, with a mean age of 55 years, constituting a random sample, were administered questionnaires by interviewers relating to amount of self-regulation and drinking status. They were then followed up over a 20-yr. period, and health status (living well, chronically ill, or deceased) was ascertained. It was hypothesized that the deleterious effect of alcohol would be worse for those low on self-regulation; that health status would be worse for those in whom drinking diminished self-regulation, as compared with those for whom drinking improved self-regulation; and that smoking would have greater effects in lowering health status in those in whom drinking diminished self-regulation than in those in whom drinking improved self-regulation. All predictions were borne out by the data at high statistical significance. The results confirmed findings from an earlier study to the effect that psychological factors like self-regulation powerfully influence the kind of effects drinking has with respect to health.
