This study evaluates the utility of Hagan's power-control theory for explaining substance use behaviors for a sample of American Indian adolescent males and females. Consistent with the theory, we found that patriarchal family form and the affective bond between father and daughter were significant predictors of female substance use behaviors. Compared to results from an analysis of non-Hispanic whites, these results reveal the importance of testing generalist explanations of deviant behavior across racial and ethnic groups. Our findings encourage a more in depth consideration of the gendered nature of work, it's association with socialization and control in American Indian families, and it's impact on gender differences in substance use and delinquent behaviors.
本研究评估了哈根的权力控制理论在解释美国印第安青少年男性和女性样本的物质使用行为方面的效用。与该理论一致，我们发现父权制家庭形式以及父女之间的情感纽带是女性物质使用行为的重要预测因素。与对非西班牙裔白人的分析结果相比，这些结果揭示了在不同种族和族裔群体中检验越轨行为的通用解释的重要性。我们的研究结果鼓励更深入地考虑工作的性别性质、它与美国印第安家庭中的社会化和控制的关联，以及它对物质使用和犯罪行为中的性别差异的影响。
