- Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine whether the experience of alcohol abuse by a family member in childhood and traumatic childhood events are important factors in predicting internalizing and externalizing behaviours and coping strategies. There were a total of 234 participants, 189 women and 45 men, aged from 18 to 59 years old. Participants completed the following questionnaires: Traumatic Antecedents Questionnaire, Modified Children of Alcoholics Screening Test, Achenbach Adult Self-Report for Ages 18-59, and The Coping Orientation of Problem Experience /COPE/ Inventory. Research results showed that the experience of alcohol abuse by a family member in childhood predicted adult externalizing behavior ratings. Traumatic childhood experience and avoidant coping strategies predicted internalizing and externalizing behavior ratings. Coping strategies were predicted by emotional abuse and childhood neglect, but not by experience of alcohol abuse by a family member in childhood.
