: Background. There is international concern about the negative consequences for health related to young people’s alcohol consumption. Peer relationships can play a positive and protective role to cope with risky behaviors associated with alcohol consumption. Objective. This study investigated the influence of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) on alcohol consumption and the moderating role of drinking-group gender composition and drinking-group size. Methods. The sample comprised 286 youths (mean age = 23.49; SD = 2.78; 67.5% female). Participants reported their protective behavioral strategies, their alcohol consumption and the size (overall mean = 7.44; SD = 3.83) and gender composition (62.58% mixed; 19.93% all-female; 9.8% all-male) of their social drinking groups. The mean sizes of mixed, all-female, and all-male groups were 8.27, 5.34, and 6.2, respectively. Results. Data showed that women consume less alcohol and use more protective strategies than men, particularly those strategies directed at avoiding negative consequences. Furthermore, the number of men in a group influences protective strategies and consumption, therefore drinking-group gender composition moderates the relationship between protective strategies and alcohol consumption. The more protective strategies that young adults use, the lower their alcohol consumption. This relationship is moderated by the size of the group. Conclusion. Strategies to prevent risky drinking behavior should focus on both PBS shared by drinking-group members and the training in individual PBS associated with drinking behavior. Finally, taking into account the relationship between drinking-group gender composition and protective behavioral strategies for alcohol consumption, a positive protector role for individual and group habits in relation to alcohol consumption is discussed.

 Abstract. The moderating role of parenting styles in the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol consumption in a sample of Spanish adolescents. Alcohol consumption in adolescents is a complex problem that is often related to impulsive behavior. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of parenting styles in the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol consumption in a sample of 613 Spanish adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years (M = 15.76, DT = 1.16) and enrolled in secondary education schools. The results revealed that neglect and negative evaluation of the mother as well as a controlling father were the variables related to alcohol consumption in male adolescents with high dysfunctional impulsive. In the case of female adolescents, support and stimulation, as well as a positive evaluation of the father were linked to lower consumption. This study presents evidence that the parenting style of the parents is related to alcohol consumption of children depending on the degree of dysfunctional impulsivity.Resumen. El consumo de alcohol en adolescentes es un problema complejo que suele aparecer acompañado de conductas impulsivas. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel de los estilos parentales en la relación entre la impulsividad y el consumo de alcohol en una muestra de 613 adolescentes españoles escolarizados en centros de educación secundaria, con edades comprendidas entre los 13 y 18 años (M = 15.76, DT = 1.16). Los resultados indicaron que la negligencia y la evaluación negativa de la madre, así como el control del padre eran las variables relacionadas con el consumo de alcohol en varones con elevada impulsividad disfuncional. En las mujeres, el apoyo y estimulación, y la evaluación positiva del padre se vinculaban a un menor consumo. Este estudio presenta evidencia de que el estilo de crianza de los padres está relacionado con el consumo de alcohol de los hijos dependiendo del grado de impulsividad disfuncional de éstos últimos.

Abstract. Background: According to the strain theory of suicide, strains, resulting from conflicting and competing pressures in an individual's life, are hypothesized to precede suicide. But social support is an important factor that can mitigate strains and lessen their input in suicidal behavior. Aims: This study was designed to assess the moderating role of social support in the relation between strain and suicidality. Methods: A sample of 1,051 employees were recruited in Beijing, the capital of China, through an online survey. Moderation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro. Social support was measured with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and strains were assessed with the Psychological Strains Scale. Results: Psychological strains are a good predictor of suicidality, and social support, a basic need for each human being, moderates and decreases the effects of psychological strains on suicidality. Limitations: The cross-sectional survey limited the extent to which conclusions about causal relationships can be drawn. Furthermore, the results may not be generalized to the whole of China because of its diversity. Conclusion: Social support has a tendency to mitigate the effects of psychological strains on suicidality.
