“…Youth with a low perseverance are highly susceptible to boredom and are unmotivated to succeed at work or in school and, therefore, may be easily distracted by an exciting activity (Thompson, Roemer, & Leadbeater, 2015), such as gambling. However, it is important to note that having a job can also be related with perseverance too.…”

The aim of the present study was to examine the potential moderating relationships between adolescent gambling and impulsivity traits (negative urgency, positive urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance and sensation seeking) with employment status. High-school students (N=400; 69% male; mean age=18.35 years; SD=1.16; past year gamblers) were surveyed to provide data on impulsivity and employment. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to examine associations with gambling and related problems. Positive urgency was associated with stronger scores of both gambling frequency and problem gambling. Students in employment had substantially higher frequency of gambling and greater problem gambling. Moreover, the combination of having a job and low perseverance was associated with a particularly high frequency on gambling. These findings further support the importance of positive urgency and employment status in adolescent gambling. The study highlights unique moderating relationship between gambling and lack of perseverance with employment status. Youth with a low perseverance and having a job may have particular need for interventions to reduce gambling.

“…Further, parental presence and communication undergird an approach of positive engagement between parent and child, which should foster healthy child development. Indeed, PGM has been associated with better developmental outcomes broadly , including better school achievement and reduced behavior problems and health‐risk behaviors, such as alcohol intake and substance use . Because parental awareness and communication are fundamental for influencing children’s healthy development, this practice could also influence an adolescent’s everyday behaviors, including DI and PA.…”

Objective: This study examined how parental general monitoring (PGM), which refers to parental awareness of adolescents' activities in various domains, is associated with adolescents' weight status and related behaviors and whether these relationships differ among racial/ethnic groups. Methods: Data are from 4,088 Black, Latino, and White youth assessed in seventh grade (mean age = 13.06). BMI percentile based on measured height and weight indicated weight status. PGM was assessed by adolescent report of parents' awareness of money spending, friends, and whereabouts. Adolescents reported both healthy and unhealthy dietary intake (DI), physical activity, and screen time over the past 7 days. Total sample and multigroup structural models were estimated. Results: PGM was associated with lower weight status for the total sample, as well as being positively associated with healthy DI and physical activity and inversely associated with screen time across racial/ethnic groups. PGM was also inversely associated with unhealthy DI, except for in Black adolescents. There was an indirect effect from PGM to lower weight status via reduced screen time among Latino and White adolescents. Conclusions: Positive outcomes associated with PGM are extended to weight status and related behaviors. Efforts at improving weight status and related behaviors could benefit from addressing general parenting practices with their children.

“…IMP was also directly related to experiencing threats over and above its association via own drinking. IMP is characterized by poor response inhibition and decision making (Castellanos‐Ryan et al., ; Krank et al., ; Thompson et al., ). Moreover, those high in IMP tend to exhibit quarrelsome behavior during social conflict (aan Het Rot et al., ).…”

“…Those with disinhibited personality traits (SS, IMP) also drink heavily but are motivated by thrill seeking and experimentation (Castellanos‐Ryan and Conrod, ) and exhibit sensitization to the rewarding properties of alcohol (Adams et al., ; Castellanos‐Ryan and Conrod, ; Magid et al., ). More specifically, SS is associated with reward sensitivity and increased likelihood to initiate alcohol use, while IMP is characterized by poor response inhibition that leads to a loss of control over use, both of which are strongly associated with increased quantity and frequency of alcohol use, and high rates of alcohol harm (Castellanos‐Ryan et al., ; Krank et al., ; Thompson et al., ).…”

“…Given previous findings that implicate personality as a driving factor underlying personal alcohol use and harm, it is logical to posit that personality also plays a role in influencing an individual's likelihood of experiencing harm from others drinking. According to the 4‐factor model, for those high in disinhibited traits (IMP, SS), alcohol misuse and harm is related to increased heavy episodic drinking (5 or more drinks for males, 4 or more drinks for females), and high frequent drinking (Castellanos‐Ryan et al., ; Krank et al., ; Thompson et al., ), and for those high in inhibited traits (HOP, AS), drinking to cope with depression and anxiety typically leads to high levels of alcohol use and related harm (Castellanos‐Ryan and Conrod, ; Castellanos‐Ryan et al., ). As secondhand harm stem from exposure to individuals and environments related to alcohol use, it is logical to posit that personality vulnerability may also confer risk for secondhand harm exposure indirectly via the individual's own heavy drinking, which in turn places them at risk for experiencing secondhand harm.…”
