Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult children of alcoholics have been identified as a population at risk for a number of disorders, including problem drinking, diminished self-esteem, disturbed interpersonal functioning, and a range of psychological problems including depression and anxiety. Recent research, however, has identified a supportive relationship with a primary caregiver as a potential protective factor for at-risk children, suggesting that attachment theory may provide a useful conceptual scheme in understanding resiliency among adult children of alcoholics. The present study examined resiliency issues and attachment style between a sample of Alanon participants and graduate students who resided with an alcohol-abusing parent prior to age 16 years as compared to those who did not reside with alcohol-abusing parents before the age of 16 years. One hundred twenty-six participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test, the Experience in Close Relationships Inventory-Revised, the Individual Protective Factors Index, and the Resiliency Scale. A series of independent sample t-tests were conducted between the adult children of alcoholic's and the non-adult children of alcoholic's on (a) classification of attachment style; and (b) individual protective factors. Furthermore, correlations were conducted between adult children of alcoholics on (a) classification of attachment style; and (b) measures of individual protective factors. Results indicated that less resilient adult children of alcoholics displayed a less secure attachment style and were characterized significantly by the anxiety attachment style. Adult children of alcoholics with lower levels of resiliency also had lower scores for the resiliency factors than adult children of non-alcoholics. However, more resilient adult children of alcoholics displayed a more secure attachment style and had higher scores for the resiliency and protective factors. This study did not find a significant difference between resiliency levels and attachment styles between male and female adult children of alcoholics.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated selected personality characteristics and religious perceptions of evangelical christian adult children of alcoholics to determine if they differed significantly from those of evangelical adult children of non-alcoholics. Subjects were divided into control (n = 62) and experimental (n = 67) groups by their scores on the children of alcoholics screening test, distrustfulness, denial of feelings, depression, guilt-proneness, and need to control were measured by the sixteen personality factor questionnaire. To determine if there were significant differences between adult children of alcoholics and adult children of non-alcoholics, mean scores from the two groups were compared using t-tests. Religious perception problems were measured by the personal data questionnaire, a 23 item questionnaire addressing demographics, family history, and religious perceptions. The t-test was performed on each group's mean score of perceived religious problems, which were problems experiencing God's love and forgiveness, trusting God's will, believing biblical promises, and forgiving others. Chi-square tests were used to determine which of the four problem areas differed significantly; the first three differed at p = [lesser than] .001, the last at p = [lesser than] .01. Four of six hypotheses were confirmed (p = [lesser than] .001); they were those predicting that adult children of alcoholics would be significantly more distrusting, depressed, guilt-prone, and would experience significantly more problems in their religious perceptions than adult children of non-alcoholics. Subjects' perceptions of their families of origin, current life satisfaction, and numerous personal and familial variables were analyzed by chi-square tests. In comparison to controls, adult children of alcoholics were significantly (p = [lesser than] .001) more apt to have sought therapy recently, to perceive their families of origin as less loving and secure, and to perceive their marriages and their current lives as less satisfying. In the same comparison, they had been married formerly to alcoholic spouses, and sexually abused as children significantly more often (p = [lesser than] .01). Evangelical christian adult children of alcoholics exhibit the same troubling personality characteristics as general population adults raised in alcoholic homes; they do not seem to be "immunized" by their faith. This finding was discussed, and recommendations were made to researchers, clinicians, and clergypersons.
