Maternal attitudes of alcoholic and nonalcoholic upper middle class women
The Mother--Child Relationship Evaluation and the Maryland Parent Attitude Survey were administered to 30 alcoholic mothers and 30 nonalcoholic mothers. All subjects came from professional-managerial households and had two or more children between the ages of 8 and 18. The two groups differed significantly on both tests. The alcoholic women were less accepting, more rejecting, disciplinarian, or overprotecting, and they displayed a significantly greater degree of conflicting attitudes. This pattern resembles that found in alcoholic parents of either sex and of widely differing socioeconomic status.
