Parallel findings in the adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) and child abuse literatures are integrated and extended by assessing long-term adjustment and childhood histories of parental alcoholism and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse in college students (N = 333). Abuse histories were most strongly related to adult symptom distress and social maladjustment. Parental alcoholism had no independent effects when controlling for abuse history. Parental alcoholism interacted with abuse history in relation to social adjustment, exacerbating the effects of emotional abuse. This study adds to a growing literature calling for more complex models of ACOA development that can account for the diversity of this population.
通过评估大学生（N = 333）的长期适应情况以及父母酗酒、性虐待、身体虐待和情感虐待的童年经历，整合并扩展了酗酒者成年子女（ACOA）文献和儿童虐待文献中的平行研究结果。虐待经历与成年后的症状困扰和社会适应不良最为密切相关。在控制虐待经历后，父母酗酒没有独立影响。在社会适应方面，父母酗酒与虐待经历相互作用，加剧了情感虐待的影响。这项研究为越来越多呼吁建立更复杂的ACOA发展模型以解释该人群多样性的文献增添了内容。
