The purpose of this study is to examine relationships between children’s roles and internalizing problems among school based adolescents in Korea and to explore whether parental alcoholism moderated the effects of children’s roles on internalizing problems. Participants were 2,803 adolescents recruited from 22 high schools in Seoul City. To select a sample, we divided Seoul city into four areas and selected randomly two or three schools in each area. Slightly over half (58.5%) of the sample was male. In order to assess parental alcoholism we used the CAST-K. Children’s roles were assessed by Children’s Role Inventory and divided into four types, i.e. hero, mascot, scapegoat, and lost child (Potter and Williams, 1991). For internalizing problems we used K-YSR and Self-Esteem of Rosenberg(1965). Multiple regression results suggested that hero, scapegoat, lost children’s roles increased the level of anxious/ depressed, withdrawn, somatic complaints among participants while mascot role decreased the level of withdrawn and increased on self-esteem. Parental alcoholism moderated negative impacts of mascot role on somatic complaints while parental alcoholism moderated positive effects of mascot role on self esteem. Parental alcoholism moderated negative impacts of lost child role on self esteem. Practitioners should consider the importance of children’s roles and differences between COAs and non-COAs when they develop intervention program for internalizing problems among adolescents.
