“…This argument is made cautiously given that the sample size is relatively small, and this study was the first to test the moderating effect of the close friendship context on self-medication in teens; thus findings are considered preliminary. Nonetheless, significant effects of multiple varying moderators on self-medication have been found in previous analyses with the current sample, as noted above (Feagans Gould, Hersh, & Hussong, 2007; Gottfredson & Hussong, 2011; Hersh & Hussong, 2009; Hussong et al, 2008; Reimuller, Shadur, & Hussong, 2011), offering support for the notion that power alone cannot explain the lack of significant findings in the current study.…”

“…Other factors and mechanisms may be more appropriate predictors of self-medication for such youth. For example, in the current data set, greater parental social support (Reimuller, Shadur, & Hussong, 2011) and poorer parent emotion socialization (Hersh & Hussong, 2009) predicted increased risk for self-medication among adolescents. It may be that compared to close friends’ influences, parental support and influence during this developmental period are ultimately stronger predictors for self-medication, which reflects a more problematic style of use, as opposed to drug use more generally.…”

“…Despite some findings showing mixed results or no support for negative affect-motivated use in adolescence (Crooke, Reid, Kauer, McKenzie, Hearps, Khor, et al, 2013; see Kassel et al, 2010, and Chassin, Ritter, Trim, & King, 2003, for reviews), some empirical evidence supports that self-medication can emerge as early as adolescence (e.g., Gottfredson & Hussong, 2011; Gould, Hussong, & Hersh, 2012; Hersh & Hussong, 2009; Hussong et al, 2008; Reimuller, Shadur, & Hussong, 2011; Stice, Kirz, & Borbely, 2002). Moreover, adolescence is a period during which youth are more vulnerable to increases in negative affect, but developmentally lack the neurobiological systems to appropriately regulate these changes in affect, leading them to seek maladaptive coping methods including substance use (Steinberg et al, 2006).…”

The current study examined between- and within-person processes related to friendship intimacy, close-friend substance use, negative affect, and self-medication. We tested between-person hypotheses that global negative affect, friendship intimacy, and close-friend drug use predict increased substance use, and the within-person hypothesis that friendship intimacy and close-friend substance use moderate the temporal relationship between daily negative affect and subsequent substance use (i.e., self-medication). Experience sampling methodology (ESM) was employed to capture daily variations in mood and substance use, and multilevel modeling techniques were used to parse between- versus within-person differences in risk for use. Findings supported between-person hypotheses that higher levels of negative affect and lower levels of friendship intimacy predicted greater substance use, and a consistent trend indicated that friendship intimacy and close-friend drug use interact to predict substance use more generally (though not for self-medication). Risk and protective mechanisms emerged from this interaction such that the effect of friendship intimacy on adolescent use depends on the degree of close-friend drug use. More specific reformulations of the risk processes involving friendships and self-medication among younger youth are indicated.

“…Data suggest that similar to the antecedents of adolescent ATOD in general, environmental factors play an important role in differentiating between problem ATOD use over normative ATOD-using behavior (Perra, Fletcher, Bonell, Higgins, & McCrystal, 2012; Baumrind, 1991; Hersh & Hussong, 2009, Scheier, Botvin, & Baker., 1997; von Sydow, Lieb, Pfister, Hofler, & Wittchen, 2002; Windle, 1996), though more in-depth work on the antecedents of problem ATOD use across all ecological domains is needed. Early work suggests that the social environment, in particular, plays an integral role.…”

Much of the existing risk factor literature focuses on identifying predictors of low-levels of substance use versus higher-levels of substance use. In this paper, we explore more nuanced patterns of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use during late adolescence. Our aims were to: 1) identify subgroups of youth with qualitatively different patterns of ATOD use; and 2) explore whether membership among qualitatively distinct, high-risk classes could be predicted based on early adolescent risk factors. Data came from a selected subsample of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (n = 1,689). Predictors were measured when youth were about 12 years old; ATOD use was assessed when youth were aged 17 years. Results showed that adolescent ATOD use is not a homogenous behavior. Four distinct classes of adolescent ATOD users were derived. Each class had a qualitatively distinct and discriminable pattern of ATOD use. Ecological predictors were shown to differentiate between latent classes, with peer factors playing a particularly important role in differentiating between high-risk and higher-risk users. Implications for prevention and limitations are discussed.

“…Parents are thought to play a critical role in children's emotional development (Cole et al 2009; Denham et al 2007) through the process of emotion socialization (Denham and Kochanoff 2002; Hersh and Hussong 2009; Morris et al 2007; Warren and Stifter 2008). However, little is known about the determinants of parents’ emotion socialization practices (Denham et al 2007).…”

This study examined the relation between parent psychopathology symptoms and emotion socialization practices in a sample of mothers and fathers of preschool-aged children with behavior problems (N = 109, M age = 44.60 months, 50 % male). Each parent completed a self-report rating scale of their psychopathology symptoms and audio-recorded naturalistic interactions with their children, which were coded for reactions to child negative affect. Results supported a spillover hypothesis for mothers. Specifically, mothers who reported greater overall psychopathology symptoms, anxiety symptoms, substance use, and borderline and Cluster A personality symptoms were more likely to exhibit non-supportive reactions. Additionally, mothers who reported greater anxiety and Cluster A personality symptoms were more likely to not respond to child negative affect. Compensatory and crossover hypotheses were also supported. Partners of mothers who reported high levels of anxiety were more likely to use supportive reactions to child negative affect. In contrast, partners of mothers who reported high levels of borderline and Cluster A personality symptoms and overall psychopathology symptoms were more likely to show non-supportive reactions. With the exception of borderline personality symptoms, fathers’ psychopathology was unrelated to parental responses to child negative affect. Results highlight the importance of maternal psychopathology in parental emotion socialization practices.
