This study examined moderating effects of family warmth on relationships between positive and negative affect and alcohol and cannabis use among American Indian (AI) youth.
Participants were 5,831 AI students (seventh-12th grade) surveyed during the 2021 and 2022 school years. Students completed measures of positive and negative affect, family warmth, and past year alcohol and cannabis use. Multigroup and latent moderated structural equation modeling models tested hypothesized main and interactive effects of hypothesized relationships and explored moderation by sex.
Family warmth and negative affect, but not positive affect, related significantly to alcohol use; all three predictors related significantly to cannabis use. Family warmth did not moderate associations between negative affect and either substance in the overall sample, nor the association of positive affect to alcohol use. However, family warmth moderated associations between positive affect and cannabis, with family warmth bolstering protective effects of positive affect. Female youth were less likely than male youth to use alcohol with increasing levels of warmth. Furthermore, compounding protective effects of family warmth and positive affect on cannabis use were stronger among female compared to male youth.
Several factors may explain the lack of a buffering effect of family warmth on the relationship between negative affect and substance use, including the use of a general affect measure rather than individual measures of depression and anxiety. Nevertheless, these findings suggest substance use interventions should consider the compounding effects of family warmth and positive affect, particularly among female AI youth.

本研究考察了家庭温暖对美国印第安（AI）青少年积极和消极情绪与酒精和大麻使用之间关系的调节作用。
参与者为5831名在2021年和2022学年接受调查的AI学生（七年级至十二年级）。学生们完成了积极和消极情绪、家庭温暖以及过去一年酒精和大麻使用情况的测量。多组和潜在调节结构方程模型检验了假设关系的主要和交互效应，并按性别探讨了调节作用。
家庭温暖和消极情绪与酒精使用显著相关，但与积极情绪无关；所有这三个预测因素与大麻使用均显著相关。在总体样本中，家庭温暖并未调节消极情绪与任何一种物质之间的关联，也未调节积极情绪与酒精使用之间的关联。然而，家庭温暖调节了积极情绪与大麻之间的关联，家庭温暖增强了积极情绪的保护作用。随着温暖程度的增加，女性青少年比男性青少年使用酒精的可能性更小。此外，与男性青少年相比，家庭温暖和积极情绪对大麻使用的复合保护作用在女性青少年中更强。
有几个因素可以解释家庭温暖对消极情绪与物质使用之间关系缺乏缓冲作用的现象，包括使用的是一般情绪测量指标而非抑郁和焦虑的个体测量指标。尽管如此，这些发现表明物质使用干预措施应考虑家庭温暖和积极情绪的复合效应，尤其是在女性AI青少年中。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
