This study examined college students' accuracy in their perceptions of parental approval of engaging in various alcohol-related behaviors, evaluated the mediational role of student approval in the relation between perceived parental knowledge and drinking, and determined the extent to which perceived parental approval moderated the relation between perceived parental knowledge and student approval.
Participants were 264 college student-parent dyads who completed independent online surveys.
Students overestimated parental approval of the child drinking, and parents were more approving of a "typical student" drinking than they were of their own child drinking. Student approval mediated the relation between perceived parental knowledge and student drinking, controlling for other relevant predictors. Perceived parental approval moderated the relation between perceived parental knowledge and student approval, controlling for other notable predictors.
Parents continue to influence their child's alcohol-related attitudes and behaviors, even while in college.
本研究考察了大学生对父母对各种与酒精相关行为的认可的认知准确性,评估了学生认可在感知到的父母认知与饮酒之间关系中的中介作用,并确定了感知到的父母认可在多大程度上调节了感知到的父母认知与学生认可之间的关系。
参与者为264对大学生-父母二元组,他们完成了独立的在线调查。
学生高估了父母对孩子饮酒的认可,并且父母对“典型学生”饮酒的认可高于对自己孩子饮酒的认可。在控制其他相关预测因素的情况下,学生认可在感知到的父母认知与学生饮酒之间的关系中起中介作用。在控制其他显著预测因素的情况下,感知到的父母认可调节了感知到的父母认知与学生认可之间的关系。
即使在大学期间,父母仍继续影响孩子与酒精相关的态度和行为。
