Abstract
This self-report questionnaire study revealed that adult children of alcoholics (ACAs, n = 49) were significantly different from adult children from normal families (ACNs, (n = 55) on five of nine Bell Object Relations Reality Testing Inventory (BORRTI; Bell, 1988) scales and from adult children from dysfunctional families (ACDs, n = 48) on the Reality Testing summary score. Both ACAs and ACDs were similar to each other and different from ACNs on Insecure Attachment and on two family background ratings- perceived quality of paternal and maternal caregiving. Discussion of these results plus separate exploratory regression analyses followed.
本自我报告问卷研究发现,酗酒者的成年子女(ACAs, n = 49)与正常家庭的成年子女(ACNs, n = 55)在9个贝尔对象关系现实测试量表(BORRTI;Bell, 1988)量表和来自功能失调家庭(ACDs, n = 48)的成年儿童的现实测试总结得分。在不安全依恋和两项家庭背景评分——父亲和母亲照顾的感知质量——上,ACAs和acd彼此相似,但与acn不同。随后对这些结果进行讨论,并进行单独的探索性回归分析。
