Alcohol-specific communication, a direct conversation between an adult and an adolescent regarding alcohol use, contains messages about alcohol relayed from the adult to the child. The current study examined the construct of alcohol-specific communication and the effect of messages on adolescent alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences. Parent-adolescent dyads were assessed biannually for 3 years (grades 9-11 at wave 6) to examine these relations in a large longitudinal study of adolescents initially in grades 6 through 8. An exploratory factor analysis identified two factors among alcohol-specific communication items, permissive messages and negative alcohol messages. Results showed previous level of adolescent alcohol use moderated the relation between permissive messages and alcohol use outcomes. Plotting of these interactions showed greater alcohol use and consequences with increasing permissive messages in adolescents with higher versus lower levels of previous alcohol use. Results suggest that parental messages regarding alcohol use may impact adolescent alcohol use beyond the effect of general parenting style and parental alcohol use.
酒精专门沟通是指成年人与青少年之间就饮酒问题进行的直接对话，其中包含着成年人向青少年传达的关于酒精的信息。本研究考察了酒精专门沟通的结构以及信息对青少年饮酒和与饮酒相关的后果的影响。在一项对青少年的大型纵向研究中，对家长-青少年对子进行了为期 3 年（第 6 波时为 9-11 年级）的每半年评估，以检验这些关系。一项探索性因素分析在酒精专门沟通项目中确定了两个因素，即宽容信息和负面酒精信息。结果表明，青少年以前的饮酒水平调节了宽容信息与饮酒结果之间的关系。这些相互作用的图示显示，在以前饮酒水平较高的青少年中，随着宽容信息的增加，饮酒量和后果会更大。结果表明，父母关于饮酒的信息可能会影响青少年的饮酒行为，而不仅仅是一般的教养方式和父母的饮酒行为。
