| Abstract | When children are raised in an environment where alcoholism is prominent, certain dysfunctional responses are learned as a way to cope with the challenge of that environment. This study was conducted to examine the learning styles of adult children of alcoholics. Subjects were college freshmen and self-identified adult children of alcoholics (total, N=294) who completed The Children of Alcoholic Screening Test (CAST), the MacAndrew subscale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Grasha-Riechmann Learning Style Scales (GRLSS). Subjects also provided demographic information and completed the Mucowski Typology Scale, a series of 24 statements describing behaviors of the four types of survivor roles described by Black (1982): the responsible child, the placater, the avoidant child, and the acting out child. Data analysis was able to separate the avoidant and dependent learner types from among the other types of children from alcoholic families. The Mucowski Typology Scale was also able to sort correctly and correlate these two dysfunctional learning styles with two out of the four role types (placater and acting out child). This finding implies that if students with dysfunctional learning styles can be identified early enough within the school context, the ineffective learning styles and behavior patterns which they acquired in the course of their family experiences may be changed.
