- Abstract
The authors compared the Adlerian lifestyle themes as identified by the BASIS-A Inventory (Wheeler, Kern, & Curlette, 1993) and coping resources as identified by the Coping Resources Inventory for Stress (CRIS; Matheny, Aycock, Curlette, & Junker, 2003) between gay men with and without problematic alcohol use as determined by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (Saunders, Aasland, Babor, De La Fuente, & Grant, 1993). Data from a national sample were collected using PsychData online. Data from 398 participants were analyzed using a MANOVA and stepwise logistic regression. Data analysis identified significant differences between the three groups (No Current Alcohol Problem; Current Alcohol Problem; and Alcoholic but Currently Abstaining) on several scales, finding that the Going Along scale of the BASIS-A Inventory and the Tension Control and Social Support scales of the CRIS were the most significant predictors of belonging in the Current Alcohol Problem group for this sample.
