The current study examined two questions. First, do internalizing symptoms and externalizing behavior each mediate the relations between parent psychopathology (alcoholism, antisocial personality disorder, and affective disorder) and growth in adolescent heavy alcohol use? Second, are there gender differences in these mediated pathways? Using latent curve analyses, we examined these questions in a high-risk sample of 439 families (53% children of alcoholic parents; 47% female). Collapsing across gender, adolescent-reported externalizing behavior mediated both the relation between parent alcoholism and growth in heavy alcohol use and the relation between parent antisociality and growth in heavy alcohol use. Parent-reported externalizing behavior only mediated the relation between parent antisociality and growth in heavy alcohol use in males. No support was found for internalizing symptoms as a mediator of these relations. Avenues are suggested for further exploring and integrating information about different mediating processes accounting for children of alcoholics' risk for heavy alcohol use.
本研究探讨了两个问题。第一，内化症状和外化行为是否分别介导了父母心理病理学（酒精中毒、反社会人格障碍和情感障碍）与青少年重度饮酒行为增长之间的关系？第二，这些介导途径中是否存在性别差异？我们使用潜在曲线分析，在一个由439个家庭组成的高风险样本中研究了这些问题（53%为酗酒父母的子女；47%为女性）。综合考虑性别因素，青少年自我报告的外化行为介导了父母酗酒与重度饮酒行为增长之间的关系，以及父母反社会行为与重度饮酒行为增长之间的关系。父母报告的外化行为仅介导了男性中父母反社会行为与重度饮酒行为增长之间的关系。未发现内化症状可作为这些关系的介导因素。本文提出了一些途径，以进一步探索和整合有关不同介导过程的信息，这些过程解释了酗酒父母的子女出现重度饮酒风险的原因。
