摘要:The present investigation has been undertaken with a view to investigate the personality characteristics, locus of control and hostility among alcoholics and non-alcoholics. The sample consists of 100 alcoholics and 100 non-alcoholics in the age range of 18-30 years. The measures used for this study are Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Levenson’s Locus of control and Covert and Overt Hostility Scale. The results are discussed in terms of comparison of means and discriminant analysis. The result clearly reveals that significant differences were found on personality characteristics, locus of control and hostility between alcoholics and non-alcoholics.
