“…An additional item taken from the same scale ("parents punish me if I do something I'm not supposed to"; Metsapelto and Pulkkinen, 2003) was combined with a single item from the home atmosphere scale ("strict"), resulting in a smaller and, therefore less reliable, two-item scale of perceived parental discipline (α = .52). Last, three items (α = .73), rated on a 4-point scale from almost always to almost never, were used to assess parental knowledge ("parents know my daily program," "parents know my interests, activities, whereabouts," and "parents know where I am and who I am with when not at home"; Chassin et al, 1993). Accordingly, the present study assesses a relatively comprehensive set of diverse, but related, dimensions of parenting, especially for such a large, population-based epidemiological sample.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Although twin studies yield consistent evidence of heritability in the frequency of adolescent alcohol use, parallel findings on parenting are more equivocal, supporting the role of genes in affective parenting but not as supportive in relation to parental control. The extent to which these patterns generalize to more nuanced forms of parenting is less clear. Furthermore, despite evidence linking parents' socialization practices with adolescents' alcohol-use behaviors, this study is the first attempt to determine the sources of this covariation. Method: The present study used epidemiological data from 4,729 adolescent twins (2,329 females) to examine the nature of associations between their perceptions of parenting at age 12 and frequencies of alcohol use at age 14. Univariate analyses assessed the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences on variability within six domains of parenting. Among those displaying consistent evidence of heritability, bivariate models were used to explore sources of covariation with drinking frequency. Results: Univariate models suggested both genetic and environmental sources of variability across parenting phenotypes, including sex-specific sources of genetic liability within one dimension of parenting. However, despite evidence for heritability, bivariate analyses indicated that the covariation between alcohol use and perceptions of parental knowledge and warmth were entirely mediated through shared environmental pathways. Conclusions: This study elucidates genetic and environmental sources of variability within individual parenting behaviors and characterizes the etiological nature of the association between parental socialization and adolescent alcohol use. The identification of specific and modifiable socialization practices will be crucial for the future development of parent-based prevention/intervention strategies. (J. Stud.

“…Research on general parenting among individuals with an AUD demonstrates that alcoholic parents engage in suboptimal parenting (see Zahn-Waxler et al, 2002, for a review). In addition, maladaptive general parenting represents a mechanism of the intergenerational transmission of AUD (e.g., Chassin et al, 1993). Although not as widely studied, there is also evidence that parents' drinking may affect alcohol-specifi c parenting.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The primary aim of the current study was to examine three dimensions of alcohol-specifi c parenting (anti-alcohol parenting strategies, parental legitimacy in regulating adolescent drinking, and parental disclosure of negative alcohol experiences) as mechanisms in the prospective relations between parental drinking and alcohol use disorder (recovered, current, and never diagnosed) and adolescent alcohol use initiation. Method: Participants were from an ongoing longitudinal study of the intergenerational transmission of alcoholism. Structural equation modeling was used to test a maternal model (n = 268 adolescents and their mothers) and a paternal model (n = 204 adolescents and their fathers) of alcohol-specifi c parenting. Results: Results indicated that higher levels of drinking among mothers and current alcohol use disorder among fathers were related to more frequent parental disclosure of personal negative experiences with alcohol. Maternal disclosure of negative alcohol experiences mediated the effect of maternal drinking on adolescent onset of alcohol use such that more disclosure predicted a greater likelihood of adolescent drinking initiation at follow-up over and above general parenting. In addition, currently alcoholic mothers were perceived as having less legitimate authority to regulate adolescent drinking, and low levels of legitimacy among fathers was predictive of drinking onset among adolescents. Conclusions: Alcohol-specifi c parenting is a distinct and infl uential predictor of adolescent alcohol use initiation that is partially shaped by parents' own drinking experiences. Moreover, parental conversations about their own personal experiences with alcohol may not represent a form of parent-child communication about drinking that deters adolescent drinking. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 74, 684-693, 2013)

“…Numerous studies have reported links between substance abuse/dependence, stress, anxiety, depression, anger and other affective symptoms (e.g., Cappell & Grealey, 1987;Chassin, Pillow, Curran, Molina & Barrera, 1993). Drug addicts typically experience more anxiety, irritability, moodiness, anger and egocentricity than non-addicts (Francis, 1996), and individuals with high neuroticism scores tend to exhibit heavier alcohol use than people with low scores (Prescott, Neale, Corey & Kendler, 1997;Rankin, Stockwell & Hodgson, 1982;Sieber & Angst, 1990).…”
