Research has underscored that an excessively intrusive parental style, defined as helicopter parenting, could be a risk factor for maladaptive behaviours in youth, including alcohol use and drug consumption. However, such at-risk behaviours have also been associated with low levels of parental involvement and warmth. Thus, the relationship between parental involvement and at-risk behaviours in adolescents is not clear. The purpose of the current study was to identify the relation between helicopter parenting and alcohol use in a sample of Italian youth. The participants were 402 adolescents (233 female) between the ages of 14 and 19 years ( = 17.20, = 1.66). Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine linear, quadratic, and exponential models and to verify which model best described the correlation. The results showed a quadratic correlation between mothers' helicopter parenting and alcohol use, whereby higher and lower levels of mothers' helicopter parenting were associated with adolescents' alcohol use. The empirical data are essential for improving our understanding of the implications and potential outcomes of helicopter parenting during adolescence.
研究强调，过度侵入性的养育方式，即所谓的“直升机式养育”，可能是青少年出现适应不良行为的一个风险因素，这些行为包括饮酒和吸毒。然而，此类危险行为也与父母参与度低和缺乏温情有关。因此，父母参与度与青少年危险行为之间的关系尚不清楚。本研究的目的是在一组意大利青少年样本中确定“直升机式养育”与饮酒之间的关系。参与者为402名年龄在14至19岁之间的青少年（233名女性）（平均年龄 = 17.20，标准差 = 1.66）。进行了分层多元回归分析，以检验线性、二次和指数模型，并验证哪种模型最能描述这种相关性。结果显示，母亲的“直升机式养育”与饮酒之间存在二次相关性，即母亲的“直升机式养育”程度较高和较低都与青少年饮酒有关。这些实证数据对于增进我们对青少年时期“直升机式养育”的影响和潜在结果的理解至关重要。
