Psychology Social Psychology Social Work Sociology Statistics Womens Studies women alcoholism self-efficacy social support Research has shown significant differences between men and women seeking treatment for alcohol-related problems. These differences include physiological differences, psychological differences and social barriers. Even though gender differences have been identified, the amount of research focusing on women with dependency problems is still overwhelmingly less than that of research among male populations (Schneider, et al, 1995). The focus of the present study utilizes the specific variables of self-efficacy for drinking refusal and social support for abstinence from the Project MATCH (Matching Alcohol Treatments to Client Heterogeneity) public data set, obtained through the University of Connecticut, School of Medicine. Three types of treatments were assigned to participants of the MATCH study: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), and Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy (TSF). Using only the data from female participants of the MATCH public data set (N = 419), it was predicted that CBT would have a significantly greater impact on sustained abstinence than do the other two types of treatment and that self-efficacy for drinking refusal and social support for abstinence will predict treatment outcomes. Correlation and regression analyses of the data set did not support the predictions. Possible reasons for the findings and directions for further research are discussed. 2010-10-06 English text Marietta College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marietta1286032820 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=marietta1286032820 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
