Abstract:

The goal of this study was to propose, test, and validate a path model explicating the effects of parental alcoholism on offspring self-esteem. Family environment, parent-child communication, and parental attachment were hypothesized to be mediators of the effects of parental drinking on self-esteem. Participants (N = 515) completed self-reports of parental drinking, family environment, parent-child communication, parental attachment, and self-esteem. Results of the path analysis showed support for the mediational model; neither paternal nor maternal drinking had a direct effect on self-esteem. Paternal and maternal drinking directly impacted family environment, which mediated the effects of drinking on parent-child communication and paternal and maternal attachment. Family environment and parent-child communication both had indirect effects on self-esteem through their effects on attachment. Results are discussed within the context of the literature reviewed. The study concludes by highlighting the importance of COA research for practice
