TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - College drinking behaviors: mediational links between parenting styles, impulse control, and alcohol-related outcomes JO - Psychology of addictive behaviors A1 - Patock-Peckham, Julie A.

SP - 117 EP - 125 VL - 20 IS - 2 N2 - Mediational links between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive), impulsiveness (general control), drinking control (specific control), and alcohol use and abuse were tested. A pattern-mixture approach (for modeling non-ignorable missing data) with multiple-group structural equation models with 421 (206 female, 215 male) college students was used. Gender was examined as a potential moderator of parenting styles on control processes related to drinking. Specifically, the parent-child gender match was found to have implications for increased levels of impulsiveness (a significant mediator of parenting effects on drinking control). These findings suggest that a parent with a permissive parenting style who is the same gender as the respondent can directly influence control processes and indirectly influence alcohol use and abuse.
