Alcoholic and nonalcoholic adult males and females ( N = 100) judged self and three intimate others on four personality characteristics. Multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that alcoholics viewed themselves and their fathers as more unhappy, less sociable, and less productive and persistent; they judged their mothers as more unhappy and less productive and persistent, and they rated their spouses as more unhappy and less sociable than did non‐alcoholics. Also, alcoholics were more variable in their evaluation of self and intimate others.
