Abstract
Introduction: Intergenerational conflict (IGC) occurs when cultural beliefs, values, and attitudes differ between a parent and child. The present study examined the psychometric properties of an IGC scale within Hispanics and the association between IGC and alcohol outcomes.
Methods: Participants were n = 144 Hispanic college students who consumed alcohol within the last 30 days. Participants completed demographics, the IGC scale, and drinking measures.
Results: A one-factor solution was the best fit (X2 = 53.92, df = 35, p = .02, CFI = .96, RMSEA = .06, SRMR = .05) for the data. IGC was not associated with binge drinking (β = .03, p = .87) but was positively associated with alcohol consequences (IRR = 1.43, β = .36, p = .001).
Discussion: The IGC scale may be applicable to Hispanic college students. Moreover, IGC was only positively associated with alcohol consequences.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs began in 1940 as the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol. It was founded by Howard W. Haggard, M.D., director of Yale University’s Laboratory of Applied Physiology. Dr. Haggard was a physiologist studying the effects of alcohol on the body, and he started the Journal as a way to publish the increasing amount of research on alcohol use, abuse, and treatment that emerged from Yale and other institutions in the years following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. In addition to original research, the Journal also published abstracts summarizing other published documents dealing with alcohol. At Yale, Dr. Haggard built a large team of alcohol researchers within the Laboratory of Applied Physiology—including E.M. Jellinek, who became managing editor of the Journal in 1941. In 1943, to bring together the various alcohol research projects conducted by the Laboratory, Dr. Haggard formed the Section of Studies on Alcohol, which also became home to the Journal and its editorial staff. In 1950, the Section was renamed the Center of Alcohol Studies.
