“…) In "two social worlds" theories, parents and peers are portrayed as operating primarily in isolation from each other. The infl uence of parents and peers is seen as distinct, with little or no overlap in the quality of relationships across the two settings (Berndt, 1979;Coleman, 1960;Greenberg, Siegel, & Leitch, 1983;Hundleby & Mercer, 1987;Kandel et al, 1978). Similarly, cognitive theorists such as Piaget (1932Piaget ( /1965 and Sullivan and Sullivan (1980) contended that social relationships with peers contribute to adolescent development in ways unique from those with parents.…”

“…For example, of all family members, mothers had the most negative feelings about having someone in the family drop out (Bachman et al, 1971). A mother's willingness to be involved with her child is also likely to be inversely related to hostility and rejection; this maternal nurturance was correlated with lower adolescent drug use and deviance (Hundleby, Mercer, & Guelph, 1987). In summary, negative parental attitudes and behaviors are correlated with greater school drop-out and substance use, and maternal attitudes and behaviors may be of greatest import.…”

Rejection and hostility scores of mothers whose sons had dropped out of school and of mothers whose sons were in good standing academically formed non-overlapping distributions. All mothers of drop-outs had higher hostility and rejection scores than mothers whose sons were doing well academically. Scores of mothers whose sons were still in school, but who were experiencing academic problems, fell midway between these two groups and were significantly different from both. Maternal rejection and hostility also correlated significantly with drug use. Possible causal linkages among these phenomena and clinical and preventive implications were discussed briefly.

“…Children raised in families with lax supervision or excessively severe or inconsistent disciplinary practices are at risk for later substance abuse (Baumrind, 1985 Hundleby and Mercer (1987) found that adolescents' reports of parental trust, concern and involvement were negatively related to the extent of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use, explaining between 3% and 8% of the variance. in an earlier study, Mercer and co-workers (19780 found that adolescent reports of parental warmth, support and interest were negatively related to the extent of tobacco and alcohol use by both males and females, but significantly related to marijuana use only for females.…”

ABSTRACT. The literature on family predictors of substance use for the general population is reviewed and compared to findings for three specific ethnic groups: black, white and Asian Americans. Rates of substance use initiation are examined in a sample of 919 urban 5th-grade students. Ethnic differences on measures of family predictors are examined and significant ethnic differences are found on several of these factors. Finally, separate regressions for black, white and Asian American youths of family factors on the variety of substances initiated examine ethnic similarities and differences in predictors. The results demonstrate significant differences by ethnicity in family management practices, involvement in family activity, sibling deviance, parental disapproval of children's drinking and family structure. The regression equations identified unique as well as common predictors of the variety of substances initiated by the end of 5th grade. Examination of both ethnic differences in the relationship between identified family risk factors and ethnic differences in the ability of these factors to predict drug use is important for prevention efforts. If ethnic groups are differentially exposed to these family risk factors and the risk factor's ability to predict drug use is the same across ethnic groups, this would suggest that prevention efforts should perhaps concentrate on those groups with the highest exposure to the risk factor. If, instead, some of the family risk factors predict drug use for one group but not for others, this would suggest that prevention efforts should address only those risk factors that are predictive for each group. This article organizes and summarizes existing literature on family factors associated with adolescent drug use that have been identified using data that include but do not distinguish etl',nic groups of color (here referred to as general studies) and compares these findings to those for three ethnic groups of color, black, white and AsianAmerican youths. This summary is important to give the reader an understanding of the degree to which findings in general studies have or have not been replicated in ethnic- Implications
