“…When such variables as parental antisocial behavior and disrupted family rituals are included as predictors, the relation of parental alcohol misuse status to negative outcomes is significantly attenuated (e.g., Earls et al, 1988;Johnson and Leff, 1999;Knowles and Schroeder, 1990;Wolin et al, 1980). For example, many of the early studies in this area did not examine nonalcohol misuse variables.…”

Between 1991 and 1994 a sample of high- and low-functioning 10-18-year-old children of alcohol misusing and nonalcohol misusing parents were assessed on degree of problematic parental role functioning (parentification) and global self-concept. The high functioning children had been chosen by their teachers to receive training as peer counselors, whereas the low functioning children were in either psychiatric facilities or the custody of family and children services. The parentification scores of the latter significantly exceeded those of the former. Children of alcoholic parents also scored higher on the parentification measure than did those with nonalcoholic parents. Within the high functioning group hierarchical regression analysis revealed that while parental alcohol misuse status accounted for a small but significant amount of the variance in self-concept, the effect of this variable was substantially reduced after entering level of parentification into the equation. By contrast, within the low functioning group parental alcohol misuse status was not significantly related to self-concept whereas level of parentification was. The results are discussed within a family systems framework.

“…Enfi n, la consommation problématique de substances psychotropes a été évaluée à l'aide d'une série de questions inspirées du Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test et du Drug Screening Test conçus pour les adultes (Knowles et Schroeder, 1990 ;Selzer, 1971). Ces questions se rapportent aux conséquences possibles d'une consommation abusive de substances psychotropes (i.e.…”

Cette étude comporte deux objectifs : 1) vérifier si les liens entre la pratique problématique des jeux de hasard et d’argent, les comportements délinquants et les problèmes de consommation de substances psychotropes diminuent au début de l’âge adulte par rapport au milieu de l’adolescence, et 2) vérifier si les liens entre ces trois ordres de comportements problématiques au début de l’âge adulte sont, en partie ou en totalité, attribuables à des antécédents communs. Deux échantillons populationnels de répondants de sexe masculin ont été mis à contribution afin de vérifier ces objectifs. Les mesures recueillies à 12 ans (i.e. les présumés antécédents communs) couvrent des aspects liés aux caractéristiques personnelles, familiales et sociales des participants. Celles recueillies à 16 et 23 ans se rapportent à leurs habitudes de jeu, à leurs comportements délinquants et à leur consommation de substances psychotropes. Ces dernières sont autorévélées alors que les précédentes font appel à des sources variées d’évaluation. Les résultats révèlent que les liens entre la pratique des jeux de hasard et d’argent, les comportements délinquants et la consommation de psychotropes au début de l’âge adulte (23 ans) sont similaires aux liens qui existent déjà à 16 ans. Ces liens ne peuvent toutefois pas être attribuables aux antécédents communs mesurés à la préadolescence (12 ans). La discussion explore les retombées pratiques et théoriques de ces résultats.This study addressed two questions: 1) Are the concurrent links between gambling, delinquency and drug use weaker during early adulthood than during middle adolescence; 2) Can the concurrent links by early adulthood be explained, at least in part, by common antecedent factors? Two population based samples of males were used to answer these questions. The putative common antecedent factors were assessed when the participants were 12 years old. These factors include variables from three domains of functioning: self, family and peers. Gambling, delinquency and drug use were assessed at age 16 years and again at age 23. Results show that the links between gambling, delinquency and drug use are not weaker by early adulthood (i.e. age 23) than they were by middle adolescence (i.e. age 16). In addition, these links cannot be explained by the age 12 antecedent factors. The discussion stresses the theoretical and applied implications of these findings

“…The frequency of consumption ranged from 1 (six or seven times per week) to 5 (one to three times per year or less). The QFI was calculated by multiplying these two ratings, as described by Knowles and Schroeder (1990). Such estimates of alcohol consumption have been shown to be highly accurate in college student populations (Meier, Brigham & Handel, 1987).…”

Alcohol Expectancies and the Personal and Parental Drinking Patterns of Women

et al. 1995

(1) Do the alcohol expectancies of women significantly differ based on their personal consumption and/or on their perceptions of parental alcohol abuse? (2) What is the relationship between perceived parental problem drinking and current expectancies about alcohol consumption? Subjects were 238 female college students, aged 18 to 52 years. Subjects completed the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test, the Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire and rated the quantity and frequency of their current alcohol consumption. A 2 x 3 MANOVA revealed a significant main effect of personal consumption on all six alcohol expectancy domains. The more a woman drinks, the higher her expectancies, particularly for Increased Physical and Social Pleasure. A family history of parental alcohol abuse in general did not result in differences in personal consumption or in alcohol expectancies. However, women who felt personally responsible for their parents' alcohol abuse consistently reported higher Global Positive alcohol expectancies. The implications of these findings for the prevention and treatment of alcoholism in women are discussed.
