title: Psychological adjustment and sex-role affiliation in an alcoholic population.
abstract: Examined the relationship among sex-role categories and indices of social/personal adjustment and psychiatric symptoms in a male alcoholic (N = 123) population. No significant relationships were found between PRF sex-role categories and measures of distress, mood disturbance and psychiatric symptomatology; nor was sex-role type found to be associated with behaviors common to alcoholism. These findings differ from those of others, which report that less sex-typed males have more adjustment problems. The inability to demonstrate a relationship between maladjustment and the PRF ANDRO typology raises the question whether sex-role affiliation is largely independent of factors suggestive of poor mental health.
