Abstract

This study investigates the self-esteem levels of adolescents categorized as children of alcoholics (COA) compared to their peers who are not children of alcoholics (Non-COA). Utilizing the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Children of Alcoholic Screening Tool (CAST), the study aims to determine whether parental alcoholism influences adolescent self-esteem. The results indicate no significant difference between the two groups, suggesting that parental alcohol use does not impact self-esteem in the sampled population.
