“…A pesar de todo, creemos que este estudio aporta datos de mucho interés sobre la importancia de las relaciones entre padres y adolescentes como factor de protección ante los efectos adversos de los acontecimientos vitales estresantes. parecen protegerlos durante la adolescencia media y tardía, a pesar de que sobre esta etapa exista menos evidencia empírica (Maggs, Frome, Eccles y Barber, 1997;Masten et al, 1999;Muñoz-Rivas y Graña, 2001). Ello otorga un mayor interés a estos resultados, pues indican que, a pesar de la influencia creciente del grupo de iguales, la familia continúa teniendo un importante efecto protector sobre el ajuste conductual durante la adolescencia.…”

Resumen: El presente estudio analizó el impacto de la ocurrencia de acontecimientos vitales estresantes en el ajuste adolescente. Con este objetivo, 101 adolescentes fueron estudiados en dos ocasiones, cuando se encontraban en la adolescencia media (15-16 años) y dos años después (17-18 años). Los participantes cumplimentaron instrumentos sobre acontecimientos vitales estresantes, relaciones familiares y ajuste adolescente. Los resultados mostraron la influencia significativa de este tipo de acontecimientos sobre la satisfacción vital, los problemas emocionales y, sobre todo, los problemas exteriorizantes. Además, la utilización de un análisis centrado en el sujeto reveló que los adolescentes resilientes (mucha adversidad y pocos problemas exteriorizantes) gozaban de relaciones familiares de mayor calidad que los adolescentes maladaptados (mucha adversidad y muchos problemas exteriorizantes). Por lo tanto, unas relaciones familiares positivas durante la adolescencia pueden ser consideradas como un factor de protección ante las consecuencias negativas de los acontecimientos vitales estresantes. Palabras clave: problemas internalizantes, problemas externalizantes, resiliencia, adolescencia Stressful life events, resilience and adolescent adjustmentAbstract: This study analyses the impact of the occurrence of stressful life events in adolescent adjustment. To this end 101 adolescents were studied twice, first when they were in middle adolescence (15-16 years) and then two years later (17-18 years). Participants filled out questionnaires about stressful life events, family relationships and adolescent adjustment. The results show a significant influence of this type of events on life-satisfaction, emotional problems and, specially, on externalizing problems. Besides, the use of a person-centered analysis revealed that resilient adolescents (high adversity and few externalizing problems) had family relationships of a better quality than maladaptive peers (high adversity, many externalizing problems). So, supportive family relationships during adolescence can be considered a protective factor against the negative consequences of stressful life events.

“…As individuals transition into marriage, it is also possible that the decline in use was due to psychosocial maturation (Kandel & Logan, 1984). Additionally, drug use may be reduced as people age because individuals tend to be more likely to follow societal norms (Helson, Kwan, John, & Jones, 2002), be less likely to engage in risky behaviors (Maggs, Frome, Eccles, & Barber, 1997), feel a greater sense of family obligations (Fuligni & Pedersen, 2002), or be preparing to take on other roles (e.g., parenting, etc. ).…”

Reductions in substance use tend to coincide with marriage, as both may occur during emerging adulthood. During the transition to marriage, it is possible that one's spouse may be the influence that causes the reduction in substance use. Data on participants (N = 471 couples) for this report are taken from a longitudinal study of early marriage. The objective of the current analysis is to determine if having a spouse who uses marijuana is associated with a greater likelihood of one's own use. Additionally, we are interested in spousal influence and cessation. The findings support spousal influence. Husbands are more likely to start using marijuana if their wives use marijuana, but the reverse is not true. Husbands also are more likely to stop using if their spouses do not use. During the transition into marriage, the drug use of one spouse does affect the other. However, this influence appears to be unidirectional, with wives influencing their husbands more often.

“…Heavy alcohol use may also reduce long-term attainment through its impact on intervening variables. For instance, heavy alcohol use increases the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents, physical and mental health problems, and violence (Bachman et al, 1997;Hansell and White, 1991;Kandel et al, 1986;Maggs et al, 1997;Mensch and Kandel, 1988;Newcomb, 1987Newcomb, , 1994Bentler, 1985, 1988;Yamaguchi and Kandel, 1985). The increased likelihood of injury, criminal justice involvement, and adjustment problems among heavy drinkers may jeopardize their school achievements and longterm attainments (Moffi tt et al, 2002;Tanner et al, 1999).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Using data from the National Child Development Study, an ongoing longitudinal birth cohort study of British youth born in 1958 (N = 9,107), we investigated the long-term impact of heavy alcohol use at age 16 years on educational qualifi cations in adulthood. Method: We used a propensity score matching approach to examine whether and for whom heavy alcohol use predicted reduced adult educational attainment. Because of gender differences in both heavy drinking and adult socioeconomic attainment, we examined the effects of heavy drinking on educational outcomes separately for females and males. Results: Heavy drinking in adolescence (measured in 1974) had a direct negative effect on the receipt of postsecondary educational credentials by age 42 years among males but not females, independent of child and adolescent risk factors correlated with both heavy drinking and educational attainment. In particular, males from working-class backgrounds were most affected by heavy drinking. Conclusions: Drawing on a life span developmental contextual approach, we fi nd that heavy teenage alcohol use and disadvantaged social origins combined to diminish male educational attainment. In contrast, heavy alcohol use had little effect on female educational attainment. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs 69: [848][849][850][851][852][853][854][855][856][857][858] 2008)
