This study assessed the effect of the interrelationship of mothers' and fathers' tobacco and marijuana use with their personality attributes on some of their child rearing behaviors. We used a longitudinal design to analyze the data of 258 males and females who were seen four times over a 13-year period from early adolescence through young adult parenthood. Thirty-one percent of the multiple regression analyses revealed significant interactions between the effect of tobacco or marijuana use and a personality attribute on child rearing. The majority of these significant interactions suggested that protective personality characteristics were offset by substance use risks resulting in less adequate child rearing. If these results are substantiated in an experimental intervention, it suggests that having resilient personality attributes does not protect against the negative effects of tobacco or marijuana use on child rearing.
本研究评估了父母吸烟和吸食大麻及其个性特征之间的相互关系对其某些育儿行为的影响。我们采用纵向设计，分析了258名男性和女性的数据，这些人在从青春期早期到成年初期为人父母的13年时间里接受了4次观察。31%的多元回归分析显示，吸烟或吸食大麻的影响与个性特征对育儿行为存在显著交互作用。这些显著交互作用中的大多数表明，保护性的个性特征被物质使用风险所抵消，导致育儿能力不足。如果这些结果在实验干预中得到证实，这表明具有适应力的个性特征并不能防止吸烟或吸食大麻对育儿产生的负面影响。
