title: [Personality characteristics in students at risk of alcoholism].
abstract: The aim of the study was to establish personality traits differentiating between persons endangered with alcohol habituation and those that did not abuse alcohol. With Engs rating scale 225 men and 73 women in danger of alcohol habituation were found among a group of 1255 students. Significant differences in the adaptation level of the affected group--as compared to the unaffected group--were found using MMPI. The differences concerned mainly the lack of emotional stability, poor self-control, high level of hostility and low tolerance to frustration.
