Abstract

The Avoidance of Rejection Scales (of self, by others and of others) were specifically developed to assist the psychometric documentation of choice of an avoidance versus confrontation strategy to the issue of rejection. Three kinds of rejection were examined concurrently with respect to the use of 7 chemical agents related to health and social behavior: tobacco, alcoholic beverages, tranquilizers, medication, stimulants, soft drugs (such as marijuana), and hard drugs (such as heroin). Results of analysis based on a sample of 300 individuals revealed that Low scorers (confronters) reported less use of chemical agents in 15 of the 18 cases wherein a posteriori comparisons among High, Medium and Low Scorer Groups indicated statistically significant differences. Some indication of curvilinearity was indicated in 5 of the statistically significant comparisons. In addition, the strongest linearity between the Rejection Scales and the use of Chemical Agents appeared in the following descending order: Of Others, Of Self and By Others. These results suggest a value to awareness strategies, though not in all cases.

排斥和使用化学试剂

拒绝回避量表(自我、他人和他人的)是专门开发的，以协助心理测量文件的选择回避和对抗策略的拒绝问题。同时对与健康和社会行为有关的7种化学制剂的使用进行了三种排斥:烟草、酒精饮料、镇定剂、药物、兴奋剂、软毒品(如大麻)和硬毒品(如海洛因)。基于300个个体样本的分析结果显示，在18个案例中，低得分者(对抗者)报告较少使用化学制剂的案例有15个，其中高、中、低得分组之间的后验比较显示出统计学上的显著差异。有5个统计学意义显著的比较显示出曲线性。此外，拒绝量表与化学试剂使用之间最强烈的线性关系出现在以下降序中:他人，自我和他人。这些结果表明了意识策略的价值，尽管不是在所有情况下。
