title: Alcohol abuse and performance appraisal ratings.
abstract: 274 adult volunteers completed a questionnaire concerning how different behaviors and emotions, which may be attributed to alcohol abuse, would affect their performance appraisal ratings of an individual who exhibited those behaviors or emotions. The appearance of behaviors and emotions that might signify alcohol abuse resulted in lower ratings. There was no difference between supervising and non-supervising raters or between male and female raters. Problems in permitting the symptoms to affect performance ratings are discussed.
