Comparison of Perceived and Experienced Control Among Alcoholics and Nonalcoholics

Donovan, Dennis M.; O'Leary, Michael R.

Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 84, 6, 726-28, Dec 75

The present study was prompted by the ambiguity and equivocal nature of research results with respect to the control orientation within an alcoholic population. The purpose of the investigation was to examine the amount of control both perceived and experienced by alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Author/RK)
