Comparison of two alcoholism scales with alcoholics and their wives.
Both partners in 36 alcoholic marriages responded to two different alcoholism scales, the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test and the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale. Multiple regression analysis determined that each scale was predicted differentially, but that characteristics of the wives accounted for considerable variance of the husbands' test scores and vice versa.
