“…For example, parental psychopathology, such as parental alcoholism and antisociality, can produce disruption in the family environment (Zhou, King, & Chassin, 2006) that increases exposure to negative life events (Chassin et al, 1996; Sher, Gershuny, Peterson & Raskin, 1997; Langrock, Compas, Keller, Merchant, & Copeland, 2002; Phillips, Erkanli, Keeler, Costello, & Angold, 2006), and has also been repeatedly linked to adolescent alcohol use (Sher, 1991; Chassin, Ritter, Trim & King, 2003). Moreover, parenting factors including poor emotional support have been linked to both the experience of negative life events (Bergeman et al 1990; Champion, 1990) and adolescent alcohol use (Hawkins et al, 1992; Baumrind, 1991). Adolescent impulsivity has been implicated as an important factor in the development of alcohol use and alcohol use disorders (see Tarter et al, 2003; Wills & Dishion, 2004; see reviews by Chassin et al, 2003 and Hawkins et al, 1992).…”
