This study explored relationships among parental problem drinking, family functioning, and adolescent externalizing behaviors. The unique effects of maternal and paternal drinking were examined separately for girls and boys. The sample included 14-19 year old U.S. adolescents (Mage = 16.15; SD = .75; 52.5% female) and their parents. Participants completed surveys in the spring of 2007 and 2008. Structural equation modeling was used to conduct path analysis models. Results showed the distinctive and adverse effects of parental problem drinking on adolescent alcohol use, drug use, rule breaking, and aggressive behavior over time. Findings also highlighted the indirect and mediating roles of family functioning. For both girls and boys, family cohesion mediated the relationship between parental problem drinking and adolescent externalizing behaviors. For girls, adolescent-father communication predicted increased externalizing behaviors over time. These findings draw attention to the importance of exploring adolescent and parent gender when examining parental problem drinking, family functioning, and externalizing behaviors.
本研究探讨了父母酗酒、家庭功能与青少年外化行为之间的关系。分别考察了母亲和父亲酗酒对女孩和男孩的独特影响。样本包括14至19岁的美国青少年（平均年龄=16.15；标准差=0.75；52.5%为女性）及其父母。参与者在2007年和2008年春季完成了调查。采用结构方程模型进行路径分析模型。结果显示，随着时间的推移，父母酗酒对青少年饮酒、吸毒、违规和攻击行为具有独特的负面影响。研究结果还强调了家庭功能的间接和中介作用。对于女孩和男孩来说，家庭凝聚力在父母酗酒与青少年外化行为之间起中介作用。对于女孩来说，青少年与父亲的沟通预示着随着时间的推移外化行为会增加。这些发现提醒人们，在研究父母酗酒、家庭功能和外化行为时，探索青少年和父母的性别差异非常重要。
