Abstract
Investigated the relationships among motivation for drug abuse, successful rehabilitation, and personality/demographic variables. The Ss, 20 airmen who had completed successfully a local USAF Drug Abuse Rehabilitation Program, were administered the 16PF Questionnaire, the Tennessee Self‐Concept Scale, and the Sensation Seeking Scale. Multivariate correlative analyses showed that those Ss who progressed most rapidly through the rehabilitation program could be best identified by their scores on the Sensation Seeking Scale, while specific subscales of the Tennessee Self‐Concept Scale and the 16PF contributed somewhat to the predictive value. It was concluded that the SSS has potential value in predicting successful rehabilitation of military drug abusers.Keywords
