Abstract

In order to identify socioeconomic factors affecting parents' alcohol and cigarette consumption and father's aggressiveness toward other family members, 87 low-income and 92 medium-income Greek families were tested. Father's alcohol consumption correlated positively with his smoking (p < .0008) and aggressive behavior (p < .00005), while mother's alcohol correlated positively with her smoking (p < .0001) and number of marriages (p < .01), and negatively with the family's overcrowding index (p < .006). Furthermore, father's smoking correlated positively with his alcohol (p < .01), and mother's smoking with her alcohol (p < .0004) and tenancy (p < .01). Finally, father's aggressiveness was found to be positively related to his alcohol consumption and negatively to his work and level of education.
