 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.

: 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.

Moderating Role

AbstractIn a minority of cases, problematic use of technology can negatively impact on adolescents and impair some aspects of their social, emotional, and psychological development. The purpose of the present study was to examine the direct and indirect effects of problematic Instagram use (PIU) on different psychopathological outcomes including loneliness, depression, anxiety, and social anxiety via body image dissatisfaction (BID). Additionally, moderating role of gender on the relationships among variables was investigated. A total of 491 adolescents (Mage = 15.92 years, SDage = 1.07; range = 14 to 19 years) were recruited for the study to complete a questionnaire that included the relevant assessment tools for the aforementioned variables. Mediation and moderation analyses showed that among male adolescents, PIU was directly associated with loneliness, depression, general anxiety, and social anxiety and BID partially mediated these associations. Among females, PIU was directly associated with depression and indirectly with general anxiety and social anxiety via BID. Gender significantly moderated the direct relationships of PIU with loneliness, general anxiety, and social anxiety. PIU was directly associated with loneliness, general anxiety, and social anxiety among males only, whereas among females, PIU was indirectly associated with general and social anxiety via BID but was not related to loneliness. Results of this study indicate that PIU has different negative psychological effects on male and female adolescents and that BID appears to be one explanatory factor for these impairments especially among females.

Externalizing Difficulties

Although many studies show that peers influence the development of adolescent internalizing and externalizing difficulties, few have considered both internalizing and externalizing difficulties in the same study, and fewer have considered the contributions of parents. Using a longitudinal sample of 385 adolescents, the contributions of best friends’ internalizing and externalizing difficulties (as assessed in Grade 6; G6: Mage = 13.64 years; 53% female; 40% ethnic or racial minority) were examined as they predicted subsequent adolescent internalizing and externalizing difficulties (at G8); in addition, the moderating role of both maternal and paternal support (at G6) was explored. Structural equation modelling revealed that best friend internalizing difficulties predicted decreases, but that best friend externalizing difficulties predicted increases in adolescents’ externalizing difficulties over time. Significant interactions involving both maternal and paternal support revealed that the negative impact of a G6 best friend having internalizing problems on later G8 adolescent externalizing problems was stronger at low levels of maternal and paternal support. The findings highlight the complex, and interactive, influences of friends and parents on the development of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology during adolescence, and underscore the importance of targeting both sources of social influence in research and clinical work.
