几十年来，临床医生和研究人员一直对父母饮酒问题儿童的人格特征感兴趣，但对这一人群的人格研究往往侧重于识别一组独特的成人人格特征。本研究采用前沿的维度方法，将人格病理理解为五因素模型的极端变体，并通过婚姻冲突和情感不安全感来研究人格病理的风险途径。参与者是199个有一个6到12岁孩子的双亲家庭。父母们完成了关于他们饮酒问题、婚姻冲突、孩子情绪不安全感（即对冲突的情绪反应）和孩子适应不良人格特征的问卷调查。结构方程模型发现，父母酗酒问题与病理性儿童不友好、内向、情绪不稳定和强迫性存在间接关系，其途径是母亲破坏性的婚姻冲突行为和儿童对冲突的情绪反应。还有一些证据表明，这种影响途径对女孩比对男孩更强。研究结果支持使用维度方法来理解暴露于父母饮酒问题的个体的不适应人格。
The personality characteristics of children of exposed to parental problem drinking have been of interest to clinicians and researchers for several decades, but personality research on this population often focuses on identifying a unique cluster of adult personality traits. The current study adopts a cutting-edge dimensional approach to understanding personality pathology as extreme variants of the five factor model, and examines pathways of risk to personality pathology through marital conflict and emotional insecurity. Participants were 199 two-parent families with a child between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Parents completed questionnaire measures of their problem drinking, marital conflict, child emotional insecurity (i.e., emotional reactivity to conflict), and child maladaptive personality traits. Structural equation models found an indirect pathway from mother and father problem drinking to pathological child disagreeableness, introversion, emotional instability, and compulsivity via greater mother destructive marital conflict behavior and child emotional reactivity to conflict. There was also some evidence that this pathway of effects was stronger for girls than for boys. Findings support the use of a dimensional approach to understanding maladaptive personality among individuals exposed to parental problem drinking.
