A study of 123 male DWI offenders referred lo treatment found that the unipolar Anxiety, Depression, and Sensation Seeking scales and the composite Dysphoria scale of the grade 6 reading level form of the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List-Revised administered at program intake could efficiently differentiate between those who were returned to court (RTC) and those who remained in good program standing (RGS) (i.e., had remained alcohol- and drug-free and had not been rearrested for DUI) after six months in the program. RTCs were characterized by higher levels of Anxiety and Depression (and Dysphoria), and lower levels of Sensation Seeking at program intake than were RGSs. The same pattern was found when the number of previous DUI arrests were also considered as a predictor. Correct classification rates ranged from 82.1% to 87.8% for the unipolar scales of the MAACL-R6 and between 75.6% and 82.9% for the composite h4AACL-R6 scales, with RTCs being correctly classified between 57.5% and 75.00% of the time, and RGSs being correctly classified between 84.3% and 94.0% of the time.
