Abstract
Parenting attitudes of female human heroin addicts were investigated in a single factor design which compared addict mothers, addict nonmothers, nonaddict mothers and nonaddict nonmothers. A principal components factor analysis was performed on the PARI [Parental Attitude Research Instrument] and used as the dependent measure. A factor labeled authoritarian overinvolvement emerged which significantly differentiated between groups. The effects of mothering and addiction proved to be additive such that addict mothers were extremely high on this scale. The parental home environment of addict women was discussed.
