Violence victimization, help-seeking, and one- and eight-year outcomes of individuals with alcohol use disorders
We examined the associations of recent victimization with subsequent participation in alcohol-related treatment and mutual help, and with short- and long-term drinking and health outcomes. Treatment-naïve men and women having an alcohol use disorder with (n = 73) or without (n = 491) recent violence victimization were assessed at baseline and 1 and 8 years later. Victimized individuals had more days intoxicated, drinking problems, symptoms of dep…
The Interplay Between Life Stressors and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults
This study examined mutual predictive associations between life stressors and depressive symptoms in later life. A sample of late-middle-aged and older adults (N = 1,291) was surveyed at baseline and 1 year, 4 years, and 10 years later. At each contact point, participants completed an inventory that assessed chronic and acute life stressors and depressive symptoms. Over the 10-year interval, there was evidence of both social causation and social …
High-Risk Alcohol Consumption and Late-Life Alcohol Use Problems
Objectives. We used several different guidelines for appropriate alcohol use to identify patterns of high-risk alcohol consumption among older women and men and examined associations between these patterns and late-life alcohol use problems. Methods. A sample of 1291 older adults participated in a survey of alcohol consumption and alcohol use problems and was studied again 10 years later. Results. Depending on the guideline, 23% to 50% of women a…
Adaptation and the quality of life in work and family settings
The paper describes the development of scales to assess the perceived social-environmental quality of work and family settings. The use of these scales in comparing and contrasting work and family settings and in examining their role as contexts for adaptation and growth is illustrated. Some tentative conclusions about social-environmental influences on individual and family adaptation are drawn and practical applications for planning ecologicall…
A Typology of Family Social Environments
A sample of 100 families measured on ten dimensions of their social environments was subjected to cluster analysis to develop an empirically based taxonomy of families. Six distinctive clusters of families were identified: Expression‐Oriented, Structure‐Oriented, Independence‐Oriented, Achievement‐Oriented, Moral/Religious‐Oriented and Conflict‐Oriented. The clusters showed systematic differences in background characteristics such as size, ethnic…
