“…Positive forms of control include behavioral control, defined by instilling and enforcing expectations through parental communication and parental monitoring. Behavioral control has been consistently related to less frequent problem drinking in college students in both longitudinal studies and cross-sectional studies examining concurrent parenting behaviors (Henry et al 2018;Luk et al 2017;Walker-Barnes and Mason 2004). Conversely, parental harsh discipline and punitiveness, as well as psychological (i.e., manipulative) control experienced during adolescence and the transition to adulthood appears to increase adolescents' and young adults' alcohol consumption (Diggs et al 2017;Henry et al 2018;Luk et al 2017;Luyckx et al 2011;Romm and Metzger 2018;Walker-Barnes and Mason 2004).…”

Helicopter Parenting and Drinking Outcomes Among College Students: The Moderating Role of Family Income

Helicopter parenting, a form of overcontrol defined by intense levels of monitoring and supervision, has been linked to an increase in risky behaviors in emerging adults. However, the context may modify how helicopter parenting operates on adjustment in this population. The current study sought to better understand the contextualizing role of family income on the relations between helicopter parenting and drinking behaviors during college. Undergraduates (N = 171; 49% female; M age = 18.82; 68% White; M family income = $60,001-$75,000) completed measures of helicopter parenting, income, and multiple indices of alcohol consumption and problematic drinking. To accommodate the zero-inflated data for the outcome variable, two-part regression modeling was used to examine whether the interaction among (maternal or paternal) helicopter parenting and income was significant. Although the interaction was not significant for the binary models, the interaction generally predicted the magnitude of drinking. For low-income college students, increased helicopter parenting from mothers and fathers deterred most drinking behaviors. For high-income college students, increased maternal and paternal helicopter parenting was associated with a greater degree of average number of drinks consumed per day and drinking to intoxication. Overall, the results suggest that considering the economic conditions of families is important when examining the influence of parenting behaviors on young adult drinking patterns. While helicopter parenting might not be adaptive for high-income families, this form of parenting might serve a different function in low-income families by reducing risky behaviors of undergraduates.

“…Authoritarian parenting, which encompasses low parental warmth and high parental control, is common in Asian families [ 34 ]. Although an authoritarian parenting style is considered less than optimal in individualistic Western cultures, it has been associated with academic achievement and social-emotional adjustment in collectivistic Asian cultures [ 36 ].…”

Race/ethnicity differences in risk and protective factors for marijuana use among U.S. adolescents

Background Little is known about how race and ethnicity influence marijuana-specific risk and protective factors in U.S. adolescents. We examined differences in risk and protective factors of marijuana use (MU) and their associations with MU by race/ethnicity. Methods The present study used data from the 2015–2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. A total of 68,263 adolescents (aged 12 to 17 years) were divided into seven subgroups by race/ethnicity (White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI), and mixed race). Marijuana-specific risk and protective factors (RPFs) were examined, including perceived availability of marijuana, adolescents’ perceived risk of MU and perceived disapproval of parents, peers, and close friends. Past-month, past-year, and lifetime MU were used as MU outcomes to examine the associations with RPFs as well as with race/ethnicity. Results Overall, 6.85, 12.67, and 15.52% of the sample reported past-month, past-year, and lifetime MU respectively. Weighted adjusted logistic regression analyses revealed that mixed race adolescents reported the greatest perceived availability of marijuana, whereas Black and Asian adolescents had less access compared to White adolescents. The adolescents’ perception of parental disapproval of MU was the lowest for Native American adolescents and highest for Asian adolescents. Mixed race adolescents experienced lower peer and close friend disapproval of MU while Black and Asian adolescents had higher. The MU risk perception was lower in most groups including Black, Hispanic, Native American, and mixed race adolescents, but not in Asian adolescents. Native American adolescents scored the highest on all MU outcomes, whereas Asian adolescents scored the lowest. Perceived availability of marijuana was associated with higher MU in all MU outcomes. Lower disapproval MU perceptions and lower MU risk perceptions were also associated with greater MU. Conclusion These findings suggest there is considerable heterogeneity of marijuana risk and protective factors and MU across race/ethnicity among U.S. adolescents.

“…Although various aspects of the parent context contribute to the etiology of substance use, parenting practices and styles have received significant attention in research. Parental warmth represents behavior directed toward adolescents, reflecting a message that they are loved, such as praise and involvement, whereas parental control represents actions intended to shape adolescent behavior, such as supervision and discipline (Calafat et al, 2014;Luk et al, 2017). In one study, adolescents who perceived lower parental involvement were at greater risk for using alcohol than those who perceived that their parents were very involved (Gottfredson & Hussong, 2011).…”

“…Yet, cross-cultural studies question this assertion. For example, authoritarian parenting was associated with independence, assertiveness, and engagement across Black and Hispanic/Latinx adolescents in the United States (see Calafat et al, 2014), and with social-emotional adjustment and low problem behaviors in collectivist Asian cultures (see Luk et al, 2017). In a study of South American families, all parenting styles protected against adolescent substance use except for the neglectful style of parenting (Valente et al, 2017).…”

Adolescent substance use is a significant public health concern. The 30-day prevalence rates of alcohol (18.2%), marijuana (15.6%), and cigarette (3.7%) use among youth are notable despite declines from historical highs (Johnston et al., 2020). Youth who use alcohol by age 14 have a fivefold increased risk of alcohol use disorder compared to youth who begin using alcohol at age 21 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2009). Adolescent substance use can harm brain development, which may contribute to risk for cognitive impairments (e.g., memory) and psychopathology (Hummel et al., 2013). Accordingly, understanding factors contributing to adolescent substance use is critical.Adolescent substance use is a complex phenomenon best understood from a developmental viewpoint.Two perspectives help us understand the multiple levels of influence that contribute to substance use by adolescents. Cascade models posit dynamic, multilevel transactions between the youth and the environment in emergent behaviors characterized by a sequential progression from temperamental differences in childhood (e.g., impulsivity, negative affectivity) to problem behaviors (e.g., externalizing, internalizing) in early adolescence to riskier behaviors, such as alcohol and drug use during midadolescence (Dodge et al., 2009). Moreover, biologically based differences (e.g., genes, neural deficits) are believed to initiate this cascading sequence. Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecological systems theory (1979) organizes various systems that interact with individual differences to affect development, including
