The Relationship of Self-Perception and Stress in Adult Children of Alcoholics and Their Peers.
Harvey, Michael J.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v25 n1 p23-29 1995
Woititz identified 13 generalizations about adult children of alcoholics (ACOAs). Her work was based on clinical populations and may not be generalizable to a nonclinical population. Using 442 undergraduates, a study of students' perceptions of the applicability of Woititz's variables to them was conducted. No significant effects were found, even though ACOAs experienced more childhood stress than their peers. (JPS)
