According to the power-control theory, growing independence of adolescent girls, manifest in more prevalent problem behaviors, may be explained by changes in family structure (increasing level of authority gained in the workplace by mothers). To verify this hypothesis, self-report data from Warsaw adolescents (N = 3087, age 14-15 years, 50% boys) were used. Results indicate that parenting practices differ across child gender and structure of parents' work authority. Girls, especially in patriarchal households, spend more time with mothers and perceive stronger maternal control. In egalitarian families, fathers tend to be more involved with sons than with daughters. When parental control, support and adolescents' risk preferences are controlled, the gender-by-household type interaction effect is observed--girls in patriarchal families have the lowest risk of getting drunk. Study results provide support for power-control theory showing the relationship between parental work authority and adolescent's heavy alcohol use.
根据权力控制理论，青少年女孩日益增强的独立性，表现在更为普遍的问题行为上，这可以用家庭结构的变化（母亲在工作场所获得的权威水平提高）来解释。为了验证这一假设，利用华沙青少年（N=3087，年龄 14-15 岁，50%为男孩）的自我报告数据进行研究。结果表明，教养实践因儿童性别和父母工作权威结构的不同而有所差异。女孩，尤其是在父权制家庭中，与母亲共度的时间更多，感知到的母亲控制也更强。在平等主义家庭中，父亲往往更愿意与儿子交往，而不是女儿。当控制父母的控制、支持和青少年的风险偏好时，会观察到性别-家庭类型的交互效应——父权制家庭中的女孩醉酒的风险最低。研究结果支持权力控制理论，表明父母工作权威与青少年大量饮酒之间存在关系。
