Marital and Family Processes in the Context of Alcohol Use and Alcohol Disorders

Abstract: Alcohol use is often part of the fabric of marriage and family life, and although it is associated with certain positive effects, excessive drinking and alcohol disorders can exert a negative effect on the marital development and on the development of children in the context of the family. This review considers evidence that alcohol influences and is influenced by marital/family processes, including transitions into marriage and parenthood, marital satisfaction, marital violence, parenting, and child developme… Show more

“…It appears that both sexes of prairie voles can model a different aspect of the effects of alcohol observed in both male and female humans. Our findings do not argue against the importance of uniquely human cultural and socioeconomic factors that contribute to alcohol's effects on human bonding (20,21,62) but indicate that biological effects of alcohol on social bonds should be considered. Moreover, we also acknowledge that the biological effects of alcohol on social attachments are most likely more complex than those modeled in our study, and alcohol could exhibit differential effects on human bonding depending on the status of alcohol use disorders or the stage of the human relationships (e.g., formation vs. maintenance of pair bonds).…”

“…Because alcohol is known to influence social bonds in humans (21)(22)(23)(24), we asked here whether alcohol consumption can affect the formation of adult social attachments in prairie voles. Adult male and female prairie voles were paired for 24 h and simultaneously given access to alcohol (10% ethanol by volume in water) and water or only water.…”

“…Developmental systems research is much further advanced in the more general study of developmental disabilities, and in a related population termed ''children of alcoholics'' which may provide further ideas for research in the field of FASD [Leonard and Eiden, 2007]. But studies of FASD (and children born prenatally alcohol exposed) are beginning to trace the transactional influences between the affected individual and his or her environment.…”

“…N UMEROUS STUDIES HAVE DESCRIBED the association between the parental role and alcohol use (for a review, see Leonard and Eiden, 2007). Although trends have been observed, the part of variance in alcohol use that is explained by the parental role is generally small within the general population (Hajema and Knibbe, 1998).…”
