A Daily Diary Study of Positive Experiences and Alcohol Use Among Non-Abstaining Adults Aged 50+ Years
Objective To evaluate the covariation of daily positive experiences and alcohol use among a national sample of adults aged 50+ years. Methods Participants ( N = 1,035; M age = 61.62; range = 50–83) were non-abstaining adults aged 50+ years who participated in an 8-day diary project in the National Study of Daily Experiences. Results Multilevel regression analyses revealed that alcohol use was more likely on days with greater positive affect ( OR …
Developmental trajectories of child and adolescent emotional problems
BACKGROUND: Whether emotional problems during childhood and adolescence are longitudinally associated with adult alcohol use behaviors is unclear. This study examined associations between developmental trajectories of emotional problems and early adult alcohol use behaviors, while considering co-occurring conduct problems, developmental change/timing, sex differences, and potential confounds. METHODS: Participants were from the Twins Early Develo…
Risk of adolescent cigarette use in three UK birth cohorts before and after e-cigarettes
Adolescents who use e-cigarettes have a similar smoking prevalence to earlier generations. Policy and prevention should seek to prevent adolescent nicotine exposure via both electronic and combustible cigarettes
Policy influences on adolescent risk perceptions of vaping
AIMS: Electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) use by youth remains a significant public health concern. Perceived risk is an important predictor of adolescent ENDS use. While state policies have been shown to affect ENDS use, and perceived risk is inversely associated with use, whether policies shape adolescent risk perceptions remains less well studied. METHODS: We used longitudinal (2013-2019) US adolescent data from the Population Assessmen…
Prospective associations between stressors and alcohol use from early adolescence to young adulthood in Mexican-origin youth in the United States
Stressors experienced across multiple domains (e.g., family and peers) may contribute to alcohol use trajectories; however, little is known about the longitudinal links between stressors and alcohol use among Latinx youth. Guided by prior work on stressors and alcohol use, the present study used longitudinal data to examine whether Mexican-origin adolescents' ( N = 674; 50% female; 28% Mexico born; 72% U.S. born) experiences of family and peer st…
Covariation of daily stressors and alcohol use among adults aged 50+ years
BACKGROUND: Several theoretical frameworks suggest connections between stress and alcohol use. However, limited existing literature has focused on older adults, and associations may vary across stressor and individual characteristics. PURPOSE: The current study extends the stress-drinking literature by assessing the same-day covariation of daily stressors and alcohol use among a national sample of adults aged 50+ years. METHODS: Participants (N =…
Patterns, clusters, and transitions in U.S. state ENDS policy implementation
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), such as e-cigarettes, have become increasingly used across the world. To respond to global public health challenges associated with vaping, governments have implemented numerous ENDS policies. This research highlights the patterns, clustering, and transitions in U.S. state ENDS policy implementation from 2010 to 2020. Policy data for tobacco and ENDS policies primarily from the Americans for Nonsmokers…
John Schulenberg as a developmental scholar and mentor
John Schulenberg has had significant impact on developmental science. His conceptual writing and empirical research, grounded in developmental contextualism, emphasized the critical role that developmental transitions play in shaping health risks, especially substance use, across the life course. Schulenberg's integration of developmental concepts with large-scale epidemiological studies, particularly through his leadership in the Monitoring the …
Sibling disclosure and adolescents’ coping from before to during the Covid-19 pandemic
The extraordinary disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic created a unique context to investigate the links between family communication and adolescent adjustment. Given that widespread stay-at-home orders increased time spent in the family setting, the present study examined reciprocal links between older and younger adolescent siblings' disclosure toward each other and concurrent and prospective links between those disclosures and the…
E-cigarette use among early adolescent tobacco cigarette smokers
Despite national differences in e-cigarette regulation and marketing, there is evidence e-cigarette use among early adolescent smokers in the UK and USA leads to higher odds of any smoking and more frequent tobacco cigarette use later in adolescence
Direct and indirect effects of maternal and sibling intimacy on adolescents' volunteering via social responsibility values
This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of maternal and sibling relational intimacy on adolescents' volunteering behaviors via their social responsibility values. Participants included two adolescents (50% female; M age = 1 year) and one parent (85% female; M age = 45 years) from 682 families ( N = 2046) from an ongoing longitudinal study. Adolescents self-reported their intimacy with mothers and siblings (Time 1), social responsi…
Familial Predictors of Alcohol and Drug Use-Related Problems Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults
This study evaluated whether recent family member alcohol and substance use problems (ASP) and density of family ASP (i.e., number of members with ASP) predict alcohol-related problems and drug use-related problems among middle-aged and older adults. Data were drawn from participants (age 42-93 years, n = 2168) in the longitudinal Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS). Poisson regression models revealed that adults' alcohol- and drug use-rel…
Personality and Alcohol Use across College
BACKGROUND: College life is characterized by marked increases in alcohol consumption. Extraversion and neuroticism are associated with alcohol use problems in college and throughout adulthood, each with alcohol use patterns consistent with an externalizing and internalizing pathway respectively. Students higher in extraversion drink more frequently and consume more alcohol, while neuroticism is paradoxically not consistently associated with eleva…
Intersecting racism and homonegativism among sexual minority men of color
Transitions Catalyst Model
Background: The Transitions Catalyst Model suggests increased drinking during young adulthood is due to the notion that alcohol facilitates friendships and romantic/sexual relationships during a developmental period when these relationships are highly valued. However, little research has tested the utility of this model. We examined (1) whether young adults reported greater drinking and related consequences on months when friendships were more im…
Changes in psychological distress after first vaginal intercourse in late adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Although early sexual intercourse may be associated with increased depressive symptoms, little research has examined whether first intercourse in late adolescence is associated with changes in mental health. METHODS: This paper uses 3 years of longitudinal data from previously sexually abstinent late adolescent students at a large state university in the northeastern United States (N = 144, 53.5% male, M age = 18.5 years old, 47.2% …
Pubertal Timing and Adolescent Alcohol Use
Using intergenerational, prospective data at ages 9 months, 7, 11, and 14 years from the nationally representative United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study, this interdisciplinary study unpacks why 14-year-old adolescents with early perceived pubertal timing (PT) were more likely to drink alcohol (ever, frequent, and binge drinking) compared to those whose PT was on-time or late (5,757 girls, 5,799 boys; 80% White, 10% Asian, 3% Black, and 7% Other…
Changes in family chaos and family relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic
The purpose of this article was to explore how family chaos, parenting processes, parent-child relationship qualities, and sibling relationship qualities changed before versus the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included one parent and two adolescent-aged children from 682 families (2,046 participants). Parents and youth participating in an ongoing longitudinal study in five Midwestern states in the United States completed an …

Gender and age differences in the associations between family social roles and excessive alcohol use
Changes in Diverse Sexual and Contraceptive Behaviors Across College
Researchers have made repeated calls for a better understanding of normative sexuality development during adolescence and young adulthood. We examined how the occurrence of seven penetrative, nonpenetrative, and contraceptive behaviors changed longitudinally across seven waves, and how individual (gender) and contextual (romantic relationship status) factors related to these changes in a sample of college students ( N = 730, M age = 18.4 at Semes…

College Students’ Perceptions of the Links Between Alcohol Use and Sexual Experiences
Alcohol use is associated with impaired decision making and unwanted sexual outcomes, but emerging adults generally perceive the co-occurrence of alcohol use and sexual behavior positively. The current study examined perceived links between alcohol use and sexual experiences. Data were from 279 college students using stratified random sampling with replacement (56% female, 25% Hispanic/Latino, 22% African American, 28% Asian American/Pacific Isla…
Revisiting the Time Trade-Off Hypothesis
Reasons to Have Sex, Personal Goals, and Sexual Behavior During the Transition to College
Emerging adults (M = 18.99 years, SD = .50) completed cross-sectional questionnaires (N = 943) and targeted follow-up telephone surveys (N = 202) across the transition to college. Gender, personal goals (dating, friendship, academic), and past sexual behavior were examined as predictors of reasons to have and not to have sex. Men rated Self-focused reasons to have sex as more important; women rated Partner-focused reasons to have sex and Ethical …
Out-of-school care of young adolescents and self-reported behavior
Sixth graders in adult care during out-of-school hours were contrasted with 6th graders in self-care situations, on 2 occasions, winter and summer (N=112). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses examined how well out-of-school care situations predicted 3 dimensions each of peer experience and self-image, concurrently and longitudinally. Additional analyses assessed the role of parent-adolescent relations in moderating the relation between self…
Short-Term Positive and Negative Consequences of Sex Based on Daily Reports Among College Students
Because sexual behavior may be associated with a broader range of outcomes than physical consequences like sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, it is important to understand consequences of sex that may influence mental and social well-being in emerging adulthood. This article describes the short-term intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences reported by college students on days they engage in vaginal sex and what factors predict exp…
Risky Business
Concurrent and longitudinal relations among Canadian adolescents' problem behavior (PB), self-image, and peer relations were examined. The relationship of adolescents' perceptions of fun and risk with their PB also were explored. A total of 96 young adolescents (mean age at Time 1 = 11.6 years) completed questionnaires on four occasions spanning 3 1/2 years. Measures were PB (disobeying parents, school misconduct, substance use, antisocial behavi…

Similarities and Differences in Adolescent Siblings’ Alcohol-Related Attitudes, Use, and Delinquency
Losing Sleep Over It
Daily covariation of sleep quantity and quality with affective, stressful, academic, and social experiences were observed in a sample of Canadian 17–19‐year‐olds in their first year of university. Participants ( N =191) completed web‐based checklists for 14 consecutive days during their first semester. Multilevel models predicting sleep quantity and quality from daily experiences indicated that more time on schoolwork, expecting a test, and alcoh…
Early Life Risks, Antisocial Tendencies, and Preteen Delinquency
Early age‐of‐onset delinquency and substance use confer a major risk for continued criminality, alcohol and drug abuse, and other serious difficulties throughout the life course. Our objective is to examine the developmental roots of preteen delinquency and substance use. By using nationally representative longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study ( N = 13,221), we examine the influence of early childhood developmental and family risk…
Daily Associations Between Drinking and Sex Among College Students
Daily links between alcohol use and sexual behaviors were examined in a longitudinal study of college students. Hierarchical linear models predicted sexual behaviors by characteristics of persons ( N =731; Level 3), semesters ( N =4,345, Level 2), and days ( N =56,372, Level 1). On a given day, consuming more drinks and binge drinking were associated with greater odds of kissing, touching, oral sex, and penetrative sex. Consistent with alcohol my…
Adolescents' Subjective Age
Two studies investigated the relation between adolescents' subjective age and their self-reported problem behavior, autonomy, and peer relationships. In Study 1, an older subjective age among 15-year-old girls and boys was correlated significantly and positively with several problem behaviors (e.g., substance use), behavioral autonomy, and aspects of peer relationships such as association with deviant peers and involvement with other-sex peers. I…
Alternative Structural Models for Understanding Adolescent Problem Behavior in Two-Earner Families
Longitudinal relations among Canadian adolescents' problem behavior, conflict with parents, and association with deviant peers were examined using covariance structure analysis with manifest variables (path analysis). Ninety young adolescents (mean age at Time I = 11.6 years) and their employed mothers and fathers completed questionnaires at three times of measurement spanning I year. Evaluation of the global and relative goodness-of-fit of compe…
Putting Mothers' Work-Related Stress in Perspective
The present study examined whether mothers' work-related and global stress (e.g., depressed affect) were associated with changes in mother-adolescent relations across a 6-month period and whether mothers' stress and mother-adolescent relations predicted the adolescent's psychosocial adjustment. Subjects were mothers and early adolescents (sixth graders) in 96 dual-earner families. Mothers completed questionnaires assessing work-related and global…

Moving Targets
From a developmental perspective, a central goal of prevention is to alter behaviors that are already changing-that is, to redirect potentially risky trajectories. This multiwave panel study examines the longer-term effects of a prevention program on trajectories of alcohol misuse and related risk factors (susceptibility to peer pressure to misbehave and exposure to peer alcohol use). We conceptually and empirically compare Hierarchical Linear Mo…

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 socia…
