Abstract
Nine physicians discussed their experiences with alcoholics in tape-recorded interviews. Feelings and attitudes conveyed in doctors'' speech were related to their success in referring alcoholic patients for treatment to a special clinic. Ten judges (5 male, 5 female) rated the interview material presented normally (unfiltered tape recording); 10 rated it presented in a ''tone-only'' condition (content-filtered tape recording); and 10 rated it in a ''content-only'' condition (typed transcripts). Doctors judged less angry in the tone-only condition and more anxious in the normal condition were more sucessful in referring alcoholics for further treatment.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
