This book was released on 1994 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) and the Symptom Check List-90-R (SCL-90-R) were both administered in the Spanish version to thirty-five (35) consenting Hispanic male subjects from Central and South America. Subjects came to a hospital alcoholism treatment unit for inpatient treatment and met research and diagnostic criteria as specified by unit staff. These subjects were tested during the first week of treatment; sixteen (16) consenting subjects came from alcoholic homes while nineteen (19) came from nonalcoholic homes. All adult children of alcoholic (ACOA) subjects had alcoholic fathers only. Mean profile scores were computed to evaluate whether significant differences exist between the two treatment groups. Standard cutting scores of 65 on the MMPI-2 and SCL-90-R were used as diagnostic indicators of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The research hypothesis compared the mean scores of the two groups on test subscales using a two-tailed t-test with the Bonferroni correction. The alpha level of significance of this study was set at .05. No significant differences were found between these two groups with regard to their (PTSD) profiles in the MMPI-2 and SCL-90-R Hispanic test versions in comparison with U.S. standardized norms. The MMPI-2 and SCL-90-R scale scores of Hispanics with alcoholism were similar to those of other groups within this diagnostic category.

Download or read book Personality Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholic Parents written by Margaret Rose Paccione-Dyszlewski and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was designed to investigate whether the personalities of adult children of alcoholics differ in some way from individuals who do not have an alcoholic parent. Women (N = 122) were divided into an adult children of alcoholic parents group (ACAP, n = 61) and an adult children of nonalcoholic parents group (ACNP, n = 61) based on their score on the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test. Subjects reporting either a history of substance abuse or a current alcohol dependence problem were eliminated from the study. Subjects were then administered the primary research instrument, the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). The factors under investigation were warmth (A), ego strength (C), dominance (E), superego strength (G), protension (L), shrewdness (N), guilt proneness (O), and ergic tension (Q4). The findings of the study are based on the results of several statistical procedures. In order to determine the degree to which the personality factors under investigation were related, Pearson correlation coefficients were computed for the combined groups. Results indicated significant relationships between the following cluster of five factors: ego strength (C), dominance (E), protension (L), guilt proneness (O), and ergic tension (Q4). A MANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference between the ACAP group and the ACNP group. Univariate results of the eight factors produced statistically significant differences between the ACAP group and the ACNP group on two factors, guilt proneness (O) and ergic tension (Q4). Children of alcoholics were more likely to be guilt prone and tense. As the result of the conventional predictive methods suggested a dichotomy between the ACAP and the ACNP groups, clustering strategies were applied to examine more specific group placement. Results of the various procedures strongly supported the suggestion of a dichotomy between the groups by producing a highly statistically significant cluster solution to the group placement of subjects by clustering methods. Both the results of the conventional predictive methods and the clustering strategies provide empirical support for the assumption that the experience of having an alcoholic parent in some systematic way influences the personality development of an adult exposed to this experience in a way that is demonstrably and reliably different from the personality development of an adult not exposed to this experience. Results are discussed and directions for further research are proposed..

Children of alcoholics develop patterns of behavior during childhood that carry over into adult life.
