Abstract

Objective: Among two-year college students, alcohol and marijuana use, related consequences, and risk factors for use are not well understood. We examined differences between two- and four-year students in alcohol and marijuana use, consequences, and perceived descriptive norms, and explored whether two-year status moderated associations between norms and use. Participants: Data were drawn from a cross-sectional subsample of two- and four-year students aged 18–23 (n = 517) participating in a longitudinal study on alcohol use. Results: Four-year students reported greater alcohol use and consequences than two-year students; two-year students reported greater marijuana use than four-year students. Perceived alcohol and marijuana norms were positively related with use; two-year status did not moderate these associations. Conclusions: Perceived alcohol and marijuana norms function similarly for two- and four-year students in terms of associations to actual use. Adapting normative interventions for two-year students may be an effective strategy for reducing high-risk use among this underserved population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

15. The friends of siblings: a test of social homogamy vs. peer selection and influence

Abstract

Using the full siblings and their friends in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), we examined two possible processes of friends' similarity: selection/influence and social homogamy. For two phenotypes, delinquency and verbal intelligence (VIQ), self-reports of siblings and their friends were linked by a computer algorithm. Structural equation models were then applied to a 4 X 4 covariance matrix (siblings 1 and 2, friends of sibling 1, friends of sibling 2) for each phenotype separately. The best-fit model of delinquency included only a selection/influence process and no social homogamy process. In contrast, the best-fit model of VIQ supported a social homogamy process. Friends' resemblance in delinquency rates can be attributed to selection and/or influence. However, friends' intellectual resemblance may be due to friends' placements in ability tracks in schools and in other social contexts instead of being a result of a preference for a particular VIQ level.

16. Testing Moffitt's adolescence-limited and life-course-persistent taxonomy utilizing a behavioral genetic design: An adoption study of adolescent antisocial behavior

Abstract

The notion of adolescent antisocial behaviors being committed by qualitatively different adolescents, those who engage in antisocial behavior only during adolescence due to social influences and pressures and those who persist in antisocial behaviors throughout the lifespan due to pathological characteristics, is quite popular though not previously empirically tested. The present study tested Moffitt's (1993) dual taxonomy of antisocial behavior utilizing a full adoption design. The sample used in this study came from Cadoret's Iowa Adoption Studies, 1975-1982 (Cadoret, 1988). Parent reports of antisocial behaviors of adoptees in this sample (N = 387) were utilized to classify adoptees as either Adolescence Limited (AL) (N = 115) or Life-Course-Persistent (LCP) (N = 62). Central questions examined in this study were: (1) Are AL and LCP individuals independent of biological history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality? (2) Is there a differential genetic influence on AL and LCP individuals? and, (3) Does genetic influence differ by domain of antisocial behavior examined? Analyses indicated that AL and LCP classification was not independent of biological history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality disorder. Hierarchical regression analyses consistently indicated that AL and LCP classification predicted both parent reports of antisocial behavior and clinical assessments of adoptee antisocial personality. While AL/LCP Classification x Biological History interactions were not significant, logistic regression analyses consistently indicated that LCP individuals were significantly more likely to have a biological parent with a history of either psychopathology or antisocial personality than were AL individuals. Further support for the normative nature of AL antisocial behaviors was demonstrated by the finding that AL individuals were no more likely than those adolescents who did not engage in any antisocial behaviors to have a biological pare
