Noble, Runco, and Ozkaragoz (1993) provided evidence that alcoholics' children differ negatively from recovering alcoholics' and nonalcoholics' children in terms of personality characteristics related to creativity. They also found that divergent thinking test scores among the three groups of children are similar, yet the possibility exists that offspring compensate for the personality deficits and maintain productively creative lives in spite of the negative influence of parental substance use. This study investigated the impact of parental substance abuse problems on 163 undergraduates' creative achievement. With current alcohol consumption as a covariate, analysis of covariance results suggest that parental alcohol and drug problems do not have an appreciable effect on students' creative achievement, although marginally significant interaction of gender and family history provides limited evidence that gender may influence the impact of parental substance abuse on creativity. Because the true effects of parental substance abuse may not be felt for several years, future research should investigate these issues with older offspring.
诺布尔、伦科和奥兹卡拉戈兹（1993年）提供的证据表明，在与创造力相关的人格特征方面，酗酒者的子女与戒酒者和非酗酒者的子女存在负面差异。他们还发现，三组儿童的发散性思维测试分数相似，但尽管父母物质滥用有负面影响，后代有可能弥补人格缺陷并保持富有成效的创造性生活。本研究调查了父母物质滥用问题对163名本科生创造性成就的影响。以当前饮酒量作为协变量，协方差分析结果表明，父母的酒精和药物问题对学生的创造性成就没有显著影响，尽管性别与家族病史的微弱显著交互作用提供了有限的证据，表明性别可能会影响父母物质滥用对创造力的影响。由于父母物质滥用的真正影响可能在几年后才会显现，未来的研究应该对年龄较大的后代调查这些问题。
