“…Despite the need to introduce some modification indices on items with a closer meaning, Confirmatory Factor Analysis provided a theoretically and empirically satisfactory solution in line with the original two-factor model that distinguishes short and long-term self-regulation, maintaining the correlation with the control measure and equivalent results at the differential studies. Regarding gender, despite conflicting results in the literature, there is a tendency for girls to present higher self-regulation, what tends to be associated with evolutionary issues or least controlling parenting practices over boys (McCabe & Brooks-Gunn, 2007;Raffaelli, Crockett, & Shen, 2005). Also in line with existing research, the results tend to reflect the stability of self-regulation over time (Raffaelli et al, 2005).…”

In this study we present the results of the adaptation of the Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory (ASRI) to Portugal. The measure was used with two samples of high school students to which ASRI was administered with Self-Regulation Scale as control measure. In the first study the measures were administered to 823 adolescents and the construct validity analysis was assessed with exploratory factor analysis. The results allow us to find an adequate structure with proper psychometric properties, in their construct and content validity, and reliability. A second study involved 435 adolescents, being tested three models using confirmatory factor analyses. The final version of the ASRI-2 presents an acceptable fit of the data in construct and concurrent validity, given its moderate or high correlation with academic success and substance use. The implications of this new approach to the self-regulation study are discussed and directions to further studies are suggested.

“…Several studies have demonstrated stronger tendencies towards externalizing behavior by boys (Entwisle, Alexander, and Olson, 2005;Raffaelli, Crockett, and Shen, 2005). Gilliam (2005) reports that boys are five times as likely as girls to be expelled from pre-kindergarten.…”

“…Self-regulation, as measured through maternal report for example, increases over childhood and early adolescence but seems relatively stable by late adolescence, with girls reporting higher levels than boys. 14 The inability or unwillingness to inhibit behavioral impulses has long-term prognostic significance. Markers of disinhibited behavior in preschool-aged 15 or elementary school-aged 16 children predict AUD risk in late adolescence and early adulthood, whereas indicators of neurobehavioral disinhibition 17 have been associated with increased risks for the development of adolescent substance use and problems.…”

A Developmental Perspective on Alcohol and Youths 16 to 20 Years of Age

Late adolescence (ie, 16 -20 years of age) is a period characterized by escalation of drinking and alcohol use problems for many and by the onset of an alcohol use disorder for some. This heightened period of vulnerability is a joint consequence of the continuity of risk from earlier developmental stages and the unique neurologic, cognitive, and social changes that occur in late adolescence. We review the normative neurologic, cognitive, and social changes that typically occur in late adolescence, and we discuss the evidence for the impact of these transitions on individual drinking trajectories. We also describe evidence linking alcohol abuse in late adolescence with neurologic damage and social impairments, and we discuss whether these are the bases for the association of adolescent drinking with increased risks of mental health, substance abuse, and social problems in adulthood. Finally, we discuss both the challenges and successes in the treatment and prevention of adolescent drinking problems. I N THE UNITED States, alcohol involvement sometimes starts but more often escalates between 16 and 20 years of age, when youths are also experiencing dramatic physical, emotional, and social changes. Specifically, a variety of forms of hazardous drinking emerge during middle to late adolescence and, for many youths, these problematic patterns of drinking continue to escalate through 18 to 20 years of age, the period of greatest risk for the onset of an alcohol use disorder (AUD).In seeking to understand youth development and alcohol involvement, it is important to consider all dimensions of functioning, because the interrelated cognitive, biological, social, and affective changes that occur during adolescence not only affect each another but also influence an individual's risk of problem drinking. In particular, the timing, sequence, and synchrony of developmentally specific transitions can affect how well youths master new roles, as well as continuities and discontinuities in their behavior. Therefore, developmental models representing a range of theoretical orientations, including systems theory, behavioral genetics, and developmental psychopathology, hold great promise for advancing our understanding of the processes that underlie adolescent changes, including the emergence of alcohol use and abuse.The need for developmental approaches is underscored by the existence of a consistent body of research showing that the escalation in drinking and the emergence of AUDs in middle and late adolescence have behavioral, social, and biological roots from earlier developmental stages. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly clear that alcohol involvement in adolescence has both short-and long-term effects on health and well-being at later developmental stages. Importantly, the consequences of adolescent drinking seem to differ from those associated with adult drinking, because there is increasing evidence that adolescents are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of heavy alcohol use on both biological and socia...
