Psychosocial adjustment in children of alcoholics (N = 114) was examined in the year before and at three follow-ups in the 15 months after their alcoholic fathers entered alcoholism treatment, testing the hypothesis that children's adjustment problems will vary over time as a function of their fathers' heavy drinking patterns. Three unique patterns of heavy drinking in alcoholic fathers were identified through cluster analysis. The results demonstrated significant and meaningful associations between these drinking patterns in fathers and adjustment problems in children over time. Overall, children whose fathers remained mostly abstinent following their treatment showed lowest and decreasing adjustment problems, while children whose fathers continued and increased heavy drinking following their treatment showed greatest and increasing adjustment problems over time.
对114名酗酒者的子女在其酗酒的父亲进入戒酒治疗前一年以及治疗后的15个月内进行了三次随访，以检验儿童的适应问题会随着时间的推移因其父亲的酗酒模式而变化这一假设。通过聚类分析确定了酗酒父亲的三种独特的酗酒模式。结果表明，随着时间的推移，父亲的这些饮酒模式与孩子的适应问题之间存在显著且有意义的关联。总体而言，父亲在治疗后大多保持戒酒的孩子表现出最低且逐渐减少的适应问题，而父亲在治疗后继续并增加酗酒的孩子随着时间的推移表现出最大且不断增加的适应问题。
