The impact of family and child rearing practices on personality development and psychiatric illnesses are well established. The present investigation is directed towards the study of psychopathology and temperamental characteristics of children of alcoholic parents, to find out correlation between these two areas and the role of alcoholism in child rearing practices. A group of 100 children of alcoholic parents was selected through random sampling between the age range of 4-12 years and compared with the children of nonalcoholic parents (N-100). Both groups were assessed on Temperamental Measurement Schedule. The student 't' test and product moment was computed for comparative and correlation purposes. The children of alcoholics were found to be manifesting marked psychopathological disturbances. These children were also found to be more arrhythmic manifesting negative mood and low persistence as compared to the children of control group. The positive correlation between psychopathological and temperamental characteristics have been indicated.
家庭和育儿实践对个性发展和精神疾病的影响已得到充分证实。本研究旨在探讨酗酒父母的孩子的精神病理学和气质特征,以发现这两个领域之间的相关性以及酗酒对育儿实践的影响。通过随机抽样,在 4-12 岁年龄范围内选择了一组 100 名酗酒父母的孩子,并与非酗酒父母的孩子(N-100)进行了比较。两组均采用气质测量表进行评估。为了比较和相关目的,计算了学生 t 检验和积矩相关。结果发现,酗酒父母的孩子表现出明显的精神病理障碍。与对照组的孩子相比,这些孩子表现出更明显的心律失常,表现出消极情绪和低坚持性。精神病理学和气质特征之间存在正相关。
