Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between adolescents’ social support, their internalising and externalising behaviour problems, and their alcohol consumption. Adolescents attending Grade 7–10 (N = 329), answered questionnaires regarding their perceived social support (from parents, teachers, classmates, and friends), internalising (emotional and peer problems) and externalising behaviour problems (hyperactivity and conduct problems), and alcohol consumption (monthly frequency of consumption, beverage consumption on the weekend, and problematic consumption). Building a structural equation model, we found negative associations between parent support and all internalising and externalising behaviour problem scales. Furthermore, social support from classmates was negatively associated with the internalising behaviour problem scales. In turn, peer problems were negatively associated with alcohol consumption, and conduct problems were positively associated with alcohol consumption. Both parent and teacher support had a direct effect on alcohol consumption, and parent support also had an indirect effect via behaviour problems. The findings highlight the importance of parents and teachers for alcohol consumption during adolescence.

青少年感知社会支持与酒精消费:内化与外化行为问题的路径分析

摘要本研究旨在探讨青少年社会支持、内化和外化行为问题与饮酒之间的关系。7-10年级的青少年(N = 329)回答了关于他们感知的社会支持(来自父母、老师、同学和朋友)、内化(情绪和同伴问题)和外化行为问题(多动和行为问题)以及酒精消费(每月消费频率、周末饮料消费和问题消费)的问卷。通过构建结构方程模型，我们发现父母支持与所有内化和外化行为问题量表之间存在负相关。此外，同学的社会支持与内化行为问题量表呈负相关。反过来，同伴问题与饮酒呈负相关，行为问题与饮酒呈正相关。父母和老师的支持对饮酒有直接影响，父母的支持也通过行为问题产生间接影响。研究结果强调了父母和老师对青少年饮酒的重要性。
