Abstract

This study used the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) to examine the personality characteristics of adult children of alcoholics. The sample was noncollege age adults (N = 174). Subjects responding to advertisements were grouped into Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) (56%), Adults with Dysfunctional Family Histories (ADFH) (21%), or Adults without Identified Dysfunctional Family Histories (AIDFH) (23%). Results indicated that the ACOA group was different from the AIDFH group on nine of the 28 CPI scales, but there were no significant differences between the ACOA and ADFH groups. The validity of clinical impressions of ACOAs and the utility of considering ACOAs as a distinct field of study are discussed.

摘要

本研究使用加利福尼亚心理调查表（CPI）来检验酗酒者成年子女的人格特征。样本为非大学年龄的成年人（N = 174）。回应广告的受试者被分为酗酒者成年子女组（ACOA）（56%）、有功能失调家庭史的成年人组（ADFH）（21%）或无明确功能失调家庭史的成年人组（AIDFH）（23%）。结果表明，在28个CPI量表中的9个量表上，ACOA组与AIDFH组存在差异，但ACOA组与ADFH组之间无显著差异。文中讨论了对酗酒者成年子女临床印象的有效性以及将酗酒者成年子女视为一个独特研究领域的实用性。
