Abstract

Pubertal timing has implications for adolescent substance use, such that early maturers have increased use. Yet, pubertal timing is not widely studied beyond adolescence, making it unclear whether and how adolescent effects persist or if downstream effects emerge after adolescence. This paper investigates the relation between pubertal timing (perceived comparison to same-sex peers) and alcohol use for 75-100 days and examines alcohol belief mediators. Participants (N=183) aged 21-45 years (M _age =27.33 [SD _age =6.65]) came from two intensive longitudinal studies. Across ~13,000 daily observations, pubertal timing was associated with normative daily alcohol use during adulthood, such that women who matured late and men who matured on-time drank the most. Alcohol beliefs about relaxation and social facilitation influenced the alcohol use behavior of late maturing men less than their peers. Adolescent alcohol use might be slow to emerge in late developers, and the mechanisms underlying use seem to differ across development and by gender.

青春期时间和成年期每日饮酒：对晚熟者经历的洞察。

青春期的时间对青少年的物质使用有影响，如早熟者增加了使用。然而，青春期后的发育时间并没有得到广泛的研究，这使得人们不清楚青春期影响是否以及如何持续存在，或者青春期后是否会出现下游影响。本文研究了青春期时间（与同性同伴的感知比较）与酒精使用的关系，并研究了酒精信仰的中介。参与者（N=183），年龄21-45岁（M年龄=27.33 [SD年龄=6.65]），来自两项密集的纵向研究。在每天约13000次的观察中，青春期时间与成年期的日常饮酒标准有关，因此，成熟晚的女性和成熟准时的男性饮酒最多。关于放松和社会促进的酒精信念对晚熟男性酒精使用行为的影响小于同龄人。在发育较晚的青少年中，酒精的使用可能是缓慢出现的，并且潜在的使用机制似乎因发育和性别而异。

期刊介绍： The focus of this multidisciplinary journal is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span and across the globe. The journal publishes research that generates descriptive and explanatory knowledge about dynamic and reciprocal person-environment interactions essential to informed public dialogue, social policy, and preventive and development optimizing interventions. This includes research relevant to the development of individuals and social systems across the life span -- including the wide range of familial, biological, societal, cultural, physical, ecological, political and historical settings of human development.
