“…The scale has been shown to demonstrate internal consistency (Fleming & Courtney, 1984; Goldsmith, 1986), and its validity has been repeatedly confirmed (Blascovich & Tomaka, 1991). It is related positively to other measures of self-esteem (Demo, 1985) and negatively related with anxiety and depression (Fleming & Courtney, 1984; Orme, Reis, & Herz, 1986; Rodney & Mupier, 1999). The Chinese version of this scale was validated with Chinese samples with excellent ratings (Zhang & Norvilitis, 2002).…”

“…The present study sought to explore this hypothesis by examining the use of media in adolescents that have an alcoholic parent. Along with having an increased risk for the development of substance abuse problems themselves (Ohannessian et al 2005; Walden et al 2007), research has shown that adolescents with an alcoholic parent have higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology in comparison to those without an alcoholic parent (Hussong et al 1998; Rodney and Mupier 1999). …”

This study examined media use and psychological adjustment (as indicated by depression and anxiety symptomatology) in a sample of 328 14-to 16-year-old adolescents. Primary goals of the study were to explore whether media use differs by gender, whether media use is related to adolescent psychological problems, and whether media use moderates the relationship between parental alcoholism and adolescent psychological adjustment. Adolescents were surveyed in the spring of 2006, and again one year later. Gender differences in media use were observed with boys spending more time playing video games than girls and girls spending more time talking on the phone than boys. Strikingly, none of the types of media examined was associated with depression or anxiety. Moreover, media use acted as a protective factor for boys. Boys who spent relatively more time playing video games and watching television had the lowest levels of anxiety, especially those from alcoholic homes. The opposite pattern emerged for girls.

“…In previous work, experiences of COAs regarding their parents' drinking have been related to a wide range of adjustment measures. In some studies, CAST scores were found to be predictive of maladaptive outcomes (e.g., MacPherson, Stewart, & McWilliams, 2001; Rodney & Mupier, 1999). Other studies reported negative results (e.g., Clair & Genest, 1987; Dinning & Burk, 1989).…”

In the present study, the relationships among parental drinking, family environment, and child adjustment is investigated in a community sample of 207 10-14-year-olds. Multiple aspects of perceived family environment (e.g., cohesion, organization, conflict) as well as multiple indicators of adjustment (e.g., negative affect, feelings of competence, self-esteem) are taken into consideration. Parental alcohol problems are found to be associated with low family cohesion, poor family organization, and low global self-worth of the child. A mediational analysis reveals that the relation between parental drinking and low global self-worth is mediated by family cohesion.
