ALCOHOLIC PARENTAL GENDER EFFECT ON FEMALE ALCOHOLISM

在过去的二十年里，大量的研究都集中在这两个方面。 酗酒的遗传和环境传播方式， 酗酒者的后代 然而，经验主义的优势 文学作品对酗酒者的男性后代给予了更多的关注 父母，其结果是，很少有人知道的机制， 女性后代酗酒的风险。 此外，父亲 酒精中毒的研究比母亲的研究要多得多。 酒精中毒 本R 03研究的目的是开始阐明 社会心理机制，通过这些机制， 酒精中毒影响女性后代与酒精相关的结果。 根据班杜拉（1977）的社会学习理论， 研究开发并测试了一个综合模型，该模型检查了 母亲、父亲和双亲酗酒与女性的相关性 后代 此外，该模型还检查了中介（心理 功能和酒精预期）和主持人（家人和朋友 父母酗酒对女性后代的影响 酒精相关的结果。 受试者将是从以下地区招募的160名患者： 一所大学附属的主要医学急诊科 医院为种族和经济多样化的人口提供服务， 患者 将采用横截面自然主义设计， 代表了四组雌性动物：40只母亲的后代 酗酒者;父亲酗酒者的40个后代;两个酗酒者的40个后代 酗酒的父母和40个没有父母病史的后代 酒精中毒主要的结果变量将是后代 酒精中毒状态（存在/不存在酒精诊断 滥用/依赖）和与酒精有关的负面后果。 的 目前的建议将导致更好的理论理解 父母教育中性别差异的程度和过程 酒精中毒与女性后代酒精相关结果有关。 等 知识是至关重要的，以描绘不同的影响， 父母酗酒对女儿和儿子。

In the last two decades, considerable research has focused on both genetic and environmental modes of transmission of alcoholism among offspring of alcoholics. However, the preponderance of the empirical literature has given more attention to male offspring of alcoholic parents, with the consequence that little is known about the mechanisms of risk for alcoholism among female offspring. In addition, paternal alcoholism has been studied to a much larger extent than maternal alcoholism. The aim of this R03 study is to begin to elucidate the psychosocial mechanisms through which gender differences in parental alcoholism affect the alcohol-related outcomes of female offspring. Drawing on Bandura's (1977) influential social learning theory, this study develops and tests an integrative model which examines the correlates of maternal, paternal and dual parental alcoholism for female offspring. In addition, the model examines the mediators (psychological functioning and alcohol expectancies) and moderators (family and friend support) of the effects of parental alcoholism on female offsprings' alcohol-related outcomes. Subjects will be 160 patients recruited from the emergency department of a university-affiliated major medical hospital which serves a racially and economically diverse population of patients. A cross-sectional naturalistic design will be used in which four groups of females are represented: 40 offspring of maternal alcoholics; 40 offspring of paternal alcoholics; 40 offspring of two alcoholic parents; and 40 offspring without a history parental alcoholism. The primary outcome variables will be the offsprings alcoholism status (presence/absence of diagnosis of alcohol abuse/dependence) and alcohol-related negative consequences. The present proposal will lead to a better theoretical understanding of the extent and the processes through which gender differences in parental alcoholism relate to female offsprings' alcohol-related outcomes. Such knowledge is critical in order to delineate the differential effects of parental alcoholism on daughters and sons.
