They 're also trying to determine if the participants have an alcohol dependency. Lastly, the authors are trying to determine, at what age the participants began the excessive consumption of alcohol.
The claim that 's being investigated is the excessive alcohol consumption in males between the ages of 18 and 65. Participants are investigated to determine if there 's a correlation between addictive personality and excessive alcohol consumption. In order to test these individuals, a screening was first conducted to eliminate those that didn 't meet the specific qualifications. Participants had to be healthy with no issues with drug abuse.
In reference to the statistical analysis, I feel as the data that was employed in the study was adequate. I feel this way because there was a thorough interview conducted before the procedures began. Therefore, I felt that the results that were gathered were enough to determine if there were a correlation between excessive alcohol consumption and social stability with
