Recent evidence suggests parent-adolescent discrepancies regarding adolescent disclosure can provide insight into parent-child relations and adolescent adjustment. However, pathways linking discrepancies to adjustment are not well known. We tested a model linking parent-adolescent discrepancies in disclosure to adolescent substance use through affiliation with deviant peers. Using three annual waves of data from a community-based study (N = 357; 91% African American; 53% female; M = 13.13 years, SD = 1.62 years at baseline), findings revealed that adolescent-reported secrecy and deviant peer affiliation were positively associated with substance use one and two years later, respectively, but there was no evidence of mediation. The results highlight associations of adolescent secrecy and adjustment, and the role peers play in adolescent substance use behaviors.
最近的证据表明，青少年与父母在披露方面的差异可以深入了解亲子关系和青少年的适应情况。然而，将差异与适应联系起来的途径尚不清楚。我们测试了一个通过与偏差同伴的联系将父母与青少年在披露方面的差异与青少年物质使用联系起来的模型。该模型使用了一项基于社区的研究的三年年度数据（N=357；91%为非裔美国人；53%为女性；基线时的平均年龄为 13.13 岁，标准差为 1.62 岁），结果表明，青少年报告的秘密和偏差同伴的联系分别与一年和两年后的物质使用呈正相关，但没有证据表明存在中介作用。这些结果强调了青少年秘密和适应的关联，以及同伴在青少年物质使用行为中的作用。
