Abstract

Parental permissiveness of drinking is a reliable predictor of college drinking, but there is little known about factors that predict such permissiveness. This study seeks to examine factors that predict two potentially different facets of permissiveness: perceived general approval of alcohol use and perceived drinking limits. Additionally, we explored how these facets mediate the relationship between the predictors of permissiveness and subsequent college drinking and related consequences. First-year college students (N = 1,172) from three large U.S. universities participated in a three-year longitudinal study (surveys were approximately 1 year apart). The students reported demographic information (i.e., birth sex, race, ethnicity), perceived injunctive peer norms, drinking outcomes (i.e., peak, heavy episodic drinking, and consequences), and perceived maternal behaviors (i.e., modeling alcohol use, monitoring, alcohol communication) and attitudes toward drinking (i.e., general approval and drinking limits). Results indicated that being White (compared to Asian and Black) predicted higher perceived maternal general approval of alcohol use and higher perceived maternal drinking limits during students’ second year in college. And, perceived maternal drinking limits, but not general approval, assessed during students’ second year predicted all three drinking outcomes during the students’ third year. This study supports previous research showing the impact of parental permissiveness, especially drinking limits, on college drinking and highlights the role of race as a predictor of parental permissiveness. Moreover, our findings support general approval and drinking limits as distinct facets that reflect different dimensions of parental permissiveness.

一项预测母亲在大学前三年对未成年学生饮酒纵容程度的纵向研究。

父母对饮酒的放纵是大学生饮酒的可靠预测因素，但预测这种放纵的因素却鲜为人知。本研究旨在研究预测放纵性的两个潜在不同方面的因素：对酒精使用的普遍认可和对饮酒限制的认知。此外，我们还探讨了这些方面是如何调节放纵与随后的大学饮酒及其相关后果之间的关系的。来自美国三所大型大学的一年级大学生（N = 1172）参与了一项为期三年的纵向研究（调查间隔大约1年）。学生报告了人口统计信息（即出生性别，种族，民族），感知到的禁令同伴规范，饮酒结果（即峰值，重度间歇性饮酒和后果），以及感知到的母亲行为（即模拟酒精使用，监测，酒精沟通）和对饮酒的态度（即一般认可和饮酒限制）。结果表明，白人（与亚洲人和黑人相比）预测，在学生大学二年级时，母亲对饮酒的普遍认可程度更高，母亲对饮酒的限制程度也更高。而且，在学生第二年评估的感知到的母亲饮酒限制，而不是普遍认可，预测了学生在第三年的所有三种饮酒结果。这项研究支持了先前的研究，表明父母的放纵，特别是饮酒限制，对大学饮酒的影响，并强调了种族作为父母放纵的预测因素的作用。此外，我们的研究结果支持一般批准和饮酒限制作为不同的方面，反映了父母许可的不同维度。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
