Abstract
Although adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) are at risk for alcohol or other drug abuses and serious emotional problems, including depressive symptoms, "resilient" ACOAs grow up striving to adapt, survive and succeed under stressful conditions. Recent studies have reported that one of the key factors increasing resilience is sense of belonging, which also protects individuals from depressive symptoms. However, the relationships among depressive symptoms, sense of belonging, and resilience have rarely been studied in ACOAs. Therefore, this descriptive and comparative study between ACOAs and non-ACOAs aims to explore the relationships among parental alcoholism, sense of belonging, resilience, and depressive symptoms, especially among Korean people living in Midwestern cities of the States.
