As a community medical care is gradually advocated and in fact practiced, the attitude of general population in a community toward the mentally ill has become one of the central issues in various fields, such as social psychiatry, social welfare and public health. It is the case of sociology as well, and some sociologists try to go further to analyze the psycho-social mechanisms behind openly expressed attitudes by general population.<BR>This paper is proposed to test three hypotheses which have been established through literature research. They are concerning factors influencing over people's acceptive attitude toward alcoholics, and are labelled as (1) the hypothesis of knowledge, (2) the hypothesis of contact and (3) the hypothesis of relationship.<BR>The test sample is drawn from the general community survey conducted in Akita prefecture in 1978. The test results show rather rejective data to the knowledge hypothesis, rejective to the contact hypothesis and generally supportive to the relationship hypothesis, although these findings are not necessarily based fully upon statistical verification.<BR>Two issues reflecting the above mentioned results are discussed. The problem of why people in a closer relationship with alcoholics tend to show an acceptive attitude is discussed in terms of the traits deriving from primary group relationship and the topic of what is substantially "therapeutic" is dealt by spelling out the four attitudinal types, (1) acceptive, (2) restrictive, (3) permissive, (4) rejective, obtained by crossing two variables, tolerance to and involvement in alcoholics. The attitudinal ambivalence often observed in families of the mentally ill is additionally refered to.
