“…The relation between observed hostility towards the mother and lifetime substance use was persistent across high school, even when controlling for 7 th grade substance use. This compliments other work suggesting that higher levels of aggression in early life, and increased parent-adolescent conflict, are associated with more substance use [11,21]. This result also mirrors what was found by Hops and colleagues [23] when using a similar observational task.…”

The quality of the parent-adolescent relationship is an important predictor of adolescent substance use. Most research in this area however has relied on questionnaire-based assessments of both substance use and interpersonal family dynamics, and has typically focused on European American samples. These gaps are addressed in the current study by evaluating prospective associations between behaviour coded from parentadolescent interactions in 7 th grade and substance use in 9 th and 12 th grade, in a longitudinal sample of Mexicanorigin youth (N = 674). Adolescents' observed behaviours towards parents, especially hostility, were significantly but weakly associated with future substance use. Parents' behaviours towards adolescents were generally not significantly associated with future substance use. Results add to the literature examining the relevance of family processes in the development of substance use, and offer converging evidence regarding the role of early aggressive tendencies and later substance use.

“…For example, positive and warm communication patterns predict decreased substance use in Mexican origin and other ethnic minority samples [19,20]. Similarly, conflict between Mexican-origin youth and their parents predicts increased substance use [21,22].…”

“…More attention has been paid to studying the link between parenting style/family environment and substance use, than has been paid to parenting style/family environment and gambling among college students (Adalbjamardottir & Hafsteinsson, 2001;AdamczykRobinette, Fletcher & Wright, 2002;Broman, Reckase & Freedman-Doan, 2006;Montgomery, Fisk & Craig, 2008;Patock-Peckham, et al, 2001;Patock-Peckham & Morgan-Lopez, 2006Wood, Read, Mitchell & Brand, 2004). Likewise, more is known about family environment and parenting as protective factors against problem behaviors among adolescents than among college students (Boyle & Boekeloo, 2009;Dane, Lawrence, Derevensky, McPhee & Panetta, 2008;Kelly et al, 2011;Marsiglia, Kulis, Parsai, Villar & Garcia, 2009).…”

Background and aims:The relationship between college student gambling, parenting styles, and family environments is a neglected area of gambling research. Do parenting styles indirectly influence problem gambling behaviors via family environments? Do poor family environments, characterized by high levels of conflict and low levels of cohesion, increase the likelihood of problem gambling among youth? This study explored the interrelationships among college students' current gambling behaviors and a) having an emotionally close and supportive family environment, b) having nagging and critical parents, c) having an authoritative mother, and d) frequency of alcohol consumption. Methods and results: Survey data were collected from 450 undergraduate students enrolled in introductory psychology classes at two state universities in a southern state. Feeling that one has nagging and critical parents was associated with gambling in more venues, while the opposite was true for having emotionally close and supportive families. However, perceptions of having authoritative mothers were not related to gambling. The results also showed that more frequent alcohol consumption was associated with higher odds of gambling in casinos, playing cards for money, betting on sports, gambling on the Internet, higher gambling losses, and a larger number of gambling venues. Conclusions: As with any exploratory research, there are several unique lines of inquiry that can, and should, follow from these findings, including more research on how college students' attitudes toward gambling activities may have begun prior to college and been influenced by their feelings about their homes and parents.

“…High levels of parent-child conflict and poor parentchild relationship quality in preadolescence (Burt, McGue, Krueger, & Iacono, 2005) and adolescence (Duncan et al, 1998;Koh & Rueter, 2011;Loke & Mak, 2013;Marsiglia, Kulis, Parsai, Villar, & Garcia, 2009;McKinney & Renk, 2011;Yeh, 2011) have also been shown to contribute to adolescent substance use and externalizing behaviors. Finally, marital conflict and divorce in childhood (Dube et al, 2006;Sourander & Helstela, 2005) and adolescence (Barnett, Rowley, Zimmerman, Vansadia, & Caldwell, 2011;Cui, Donnellan, & Conger, 2007;Fletcher & Sindelar, 2012;Grych, Raynor, & Fosco, 2004;Kristjansson, Sigfusdottir, Allegrante, & Helgason, 2009;Roustit, Chaix, & Chauvin, 2007;Vanassche, Sodermans, Matthijs, & Swicegood, 2014) have also been associated with heightened externalizing behaviors and alcohol use in adolescents.…”

Both individual and environmental factors predict externalizing behaviors and substance use (EB-SU); however, different patterns of interaction among these factors may have different implications. This review first examines how temperament and the family environment interact in the prediction of adolescent EB-SU. Second, studies are reviewed according to two theoretical models: (1) diathesis-stress, i.e., certain individual characteristics are linked to vulnerability and later problems in adverse environments; (2) differential susceptibility, i.e., these characteristics are linked to susceptibility, predicting problems in adverse environments, but also better than average outcomes in good environments. Fourteen studies focusing on the prediction of EB-SU at ages 12-18 were selected through a literature search. Results showed that certain temperament traits (high levels of impulsivity and disinhibition; low levels of effortful control, negative affect, fearfulness and shyness), hereby designated as "adventurous" disposition, were associated with higher levels of EB-SU in adverse family environments. Some studies also showed that children with "adventurous" temperament traits in positive environments had the lowest levels of EB-SU. This suggests that prevention of EB-SU might target family factors such as parenting and focus on children with "adventurous" temperament traits. Further, studies that supported the differential susceptibility model were those assessing temperament and the family environment in childhood and studies that supported the diathesis-stress model assessed these variables in adolescence. It is thus possible that some of these "adventurous" temperament traits, with regard to EB-SU, would be indicators of susceptibility to both enriched and adverse environments in childhood but no CIHR Author ManuscriptCIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript longer in adolescence, when they would only be indicators of vulnerability to adverse environments. KeywordsDiathesis-stress; Differential susceptibility; Temperament; Family; Externalizing; Moderation Adolescent substance use has several adverse short-and long-term consequences, including addiction, poor academic achievement, sleep disturbances, depression, suicidal behavior, injuries, overdoses, car accidents, teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and liver disease (Newbury-Birch et al., 2009;Single, Rehm, Robson, & Van Truong, 2000;Stolle, Sack, & Thomasius, 2009). Correlates of substance use in adolescence include both individual and environmental characteristics (Chartier, Hesselbrock, & Hesselbrock, 2010;Patrick & Schulenberg, 2013). While internalizing problems are more strongly associated with substance use in adulthood (Chan, Dennis, & Funk, 2008;Grant et al., 2004;King, Iacono, & McGue, 2004), a history of externalizing behaviors beginning in early childhood is more likely to be observed in adolescents using substances (Chan et al., 2008;Jester et al., 2008;Pingault et al., 2013;Zucker, Heitzeg, & Nigg, 2011).
