在这项研究中，我们调查了几个变量作为成功完成过渡计划后，酗酒治疗的潜在预测因素。受试者为54名男性，他们完成了30天的治疗计划，随后接受了90天的住院治疗。结果衡量标准是成功完成后一个方案。预测变量是性格乐观，麻烦，隆起，和几个人口统计学变量。乐观与成功的结果呈正相关。提升和结果之间的简单联系也接近重要性，但与预期的方向相反。判别分析使用这两个变量，以及年龄和教育水平，作为成功结果的预测因素。没有证据表明争吵起了作用。讨论集中在性格乐观的重要性，成功的适应在各种行为领域的预测。
In this study we investigated several variables as potential predictors of success in completing a transition program after treatment for alcoholism. Subjects were 54 men who had completed a 30-day treatment program and who were subsequently admitted to a 90-day inpatient aftercare program. The outcome measure was successful completion of this latter program. Predictor variables were dispositional optimism, hassles, uplifts, and several demographic variables. Optimism was positively associated with successful outcome. The simple association between uplifts and outcome also approached significance, but in the opposite to expected direction. Discriminant analyses used both of these variables, as well as age and education level, as predictors of successful outcome. There was no evidence of a role for hassles. Discussion centers on the importance of dispositional optimism as a predictor of successful adaptation in a variety of behavioral domains.
