“…In light of systematic differences between parents and children on conversation orientation in particular, it is unreasonable to regard individual family members as more or less interchangeable in reporting on their family communication culture. The parent-child difference in conversation orientation is largely consistent with existing research (Booth-Butterfield & Sidelinger, 1998;Fitzpatrick & Ritchie, 1994).…”

“…Specifi cally, positive parent-child communication has been associated with less drinking and fewer consequences (Booth-Butterfi eld and Sidelinger, 1998;Turrisi et al, 2000). In contrast, negative communication is associated with more alcohol consequences (Turner et al, 2000).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Previous research identifi ed a high-risk subset of college students experiencing a disproportionate number of alcoholrelated consequences at the end of their fi rst year. With the goal of identifying pre-college predictors of membership in this high-risk subset, the present study used a prospective design to identify latent profi les of student-reported maternal and paternal parenting styles and alcoholspecifi c behaviors and to determine whether these profi les were associated with membership in the high-risk consequences subset. Method: A sample of randomly selected 370 incoming fi rst-year students at a large public university reported on their mothers' and fathers' communication quality, monitoring, approval of alcohol use, and modeling of drinking behaviors and on consequences experienced across the fi rst year of college. Results: Students in the high-risk subset comprised 15.5% of the sample but accounted for almost half (46.6%) of the total consequences reported by the entire sample. Latent profi le analyses identifi ed four parental profi les: positive pro-alcohol, positive anti-alcohol, negative mother, and negative father. Logistic regression analyses revealed that students in the negative-father profi le were at greatest odds of being in the high-risk consequences subset at a follow-up assessment 1 year later, even after drinking at baseline was controlled for. Students in the positive pro-alcohol profi le also were at increased odds of being in the high-risk subset, although this association was attenuated after baseline drinking was controlled for. Conclusions: These fi ndings have important implications for the improvement of existing parent-and individual-based college student drinking interventions designed to reduce alcohol-related consequences.

“…In such homes, where full interchange and social dialog are more likely to be present, parents may encourage children to make smart choices and then recognize those choices once made (Booth-Butterfield & Sidelinger, 1998). Recognition communicates to adolescents that they are moving in a positive direction and, consequently, adolescents who receive positive feedback from their parents, in general, may indicate higher levels of risk associated with a behavior such as binge drinking.…”

Drawing on data gathered from adolescents (N = 18,991) in the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), this study examined the effects of sex and race, as well as measures of student activity levels and frequency of recognition from parents, on perceptions of the risks associated with binge drinking. Overall, female, Black, Asian, and Hispanic adolescents, as well as individuals who indicated belonging to more than one race, perceived higher levels of risk. Male, White, and Native American/Alaskan/Pacific Islander respondents perceived lower risk levels. In addition, those who participated the most in school and community activities, as well as those who received more frequent recognition from parents, estimated higher levels of risk associated with binge drinking.
