dc.description.abstract	This study investigated the 5 MMPI alcoholism Scales in their ability to identify alcoholics. First-time D.U.l. offenders constituted the non-alcoholic group, whereas second-time D.U.l, offenders constituted the alcoholic group. A chi square with Yates correction and a contingency coefficient found no significant relationship, which led to a rejection of the null hypothesis. While the MacAndrew Scale exhibited some discrimination ability, the Hampton, Hoyt and Sedlacek, Holmes, and Rosenberg Composite showed little or no discrimination power between alcoholics and non-alcoholics.	en_US
