Recent literature has cited internalized shame as a painful, enduring affect which critically impacts the development of identity and sense of self. It has been described as a central component of depression and neuroticism. Shame has also been linked to characteristic family interaction patterns, specifically in families with alcoholism. Empirical research on families of alcoholics, however, has yielded mixed reports about how family environmental factors influence the outcomes of offspring. In this study, 58 adult children of alcoholics (ACAs) and 51 adult children of parents with no alcoholism or other psychopathology (Controls) were compared on self-report measures of internalized shame, memory of childhood shame, depression, neuroticism and family of origin environment. Family of origin environment was examined independently from history of parental alcoholism. Findings lent support to the relationship between family of origin environment and shame. Results indicated that shame was related to lower family of origin cohesiveness, lower expressiveness, lower independence and higher conflict. Family of origin environment accounted for 28% of the variance in the prediction of internalized shame, and 36% of the variance in the prediction of memory of childhood shame across the total sample (N = 109). Family of origin environment remained the significant predictor of higher shame scores when family history of alcoholism was also taken into account. ACAs reported significantly higher degrees of shame, depression and neuroticism than controls, although means of both groups were within the designated normal ranges on all measures, overall. ACAs also reported significantly lower cohesiveness, lower expressiveness, lower independence and higher conflict in family of origin environment than the controls. Findings of this study supported other empirical research which has found ACAs to be a highly variable group, yet at higher risk for psychological distress. Finally, results revealed that internalized shame was strongly related to both depression and neuroticism, however, it was significantly more related to neuroticism than depression. Implications of these findings for areas of study related to shame, family environment and adult children of alcoholics were discussed.Subjects--Topical Terms:
