Book excerpt: Helicopter parenting (HP) is an emerging parenting style that has presented new challenges for higher education professionals in their efforts to guide college students in their development, such as moral development and growth. As a result, this dissertation study sought to investigate how such factors as maternal and paternal HP, moral judgment and reasoning (MJR), and drinking motives (DM) and how they relate to alcohol use experiences (AUE) among college students. Using a final sample of 260 college students, this study examined (1) the relationship among HP, MJR, and AUE and if maternal and/or paternal HP moderated the relationship between MJR and AUE; and (2) the relationship among the four DMs, MJR, and AUE and whether any of the four DMs moderated the relationship between MJR and AUE. To address these aims, hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) analyses were performed. Additionally, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to verify the factor structure of the HP measure used in this study. Results of the first set of HMR analyses revealed no significant relationship between either type of HP and MJR scores; similar results were found between MJR and AUE. However, these results did reveal a significant, albeit moderately weak, association between both types of HP and AUE. Similarly, the second set of HMR analyses showed that MJR was not significantly related to any of the drinking motives nor to AUE; however, all four drinking motives were significantly related to AUE. CFA analyses revealed that the indices of model fit for the one-factor structure tested generally met the acceptable levels for good model fit for the data. Implications, conclusions, and directions for future research are discussed.

Book excerpt: Emerging adulthood is a time when young people around 18 to 25 years old try out different experiences and work their way toward commitments in love and work (Arnett, 2006). Many emerging adults are in college and are expected by society to become independent from their parents by the time they graduate. Parents who remain high on warmth and support but high on control and low on granting autonomy inconsistent with the age of the child are considered helicopter parents (Padilla-Walker & Nelson, 2012). The current study examined the association between helicopter parenting, aggression, entitlement, materialism, and substance use of four hundred college students (108 males) through an online survey. The results suggest students who perceived higher levels of helicopter parents self-reported being more aggressive, entitled, and materialistic than students who perceived lower levels of helicopter parenting. Furthermore, males who did not use cannabis perceived significantly higher levels of helicopter parenting than male cannabis users. Consistent with previous research, males in the current study self-reported more physical and verbal aggression, as well as consuming alcohol and using cannabis more. Future research is needed to examine the effects of helicopter parenting on overall alcohol and cannabis use.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Study 2, hierarchical linear regression analyses were conducted to explore what constructs of TNSB predicted parents' communication about alcohol, including descriptive norms, injunctive norms, outcome expectations, communication efficacy, and perceptions of severity and susceptibility of the negative consequences associated with alcohol use for their student. The study found the relationship between descriptive norms and parents' communication was moderated by injunctive norms, outcome expectations related to communication, and parents' perceptions of their student's susceptibility to negative consequences associated with alcohol use. Study 3 used qualitative interviews to further explore parents' communication about alcohol with their first-year college student. Using MFDM as a guide, Study 3 found several factors influenced parents' communication about alcohol with their student including role, skills, social structure, awareness, norms, utilization of resources, and other constraints. While parents reported talking about appropriate drinking behavior, the negative consequences of alcohol use, family experiences with alcohol, and family values and rules related to alcohol with their student, they often presented mixed messages, such as identifying drinking underage as illegal, but also describing the behavior as "typical." Across all three studies, it was evident parents held misperceptions of other college students' drinking behaviors and were likely underestimating their own students' alcohol use. The studies in this dissertation provide further understanding of the frequency and content of this communication and provide insight on how theoretical constructs can guide future parents-based interventions.

Download or read book Parenting Styles and Practices as Predictors of Adjustment and Drinking Motives During the First Year of College written by Kristina L. Huber and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many students, the transition from high school to college is accompanied by a considerable amount of stress. Past research has examined factors that make this transition more or less stressful, and one area of focus has been the parent-child relationship. This study examined how parenting styles and practices predict a student's ability to adjust to college. First year college students (N=182) completed questionnaires that assessed parenting styles, parenting practices, adjustment to college, and drinking problems. Authoritative parenting predicted better adjustment and fewer alcohol problems. Homework involvement predicted better overall adjustment. Parenting practices were shown to play a mediating role between authoritative parenting and adjustment in some cases, and authoritative parenting moderated the relationship between parenting practices and drinking problems. Overall, these findings suggest that parenting continues to play an important role in students' lives during college, and further research is needed to better understand these interactions.

Download or read book Conceptualization Measurement and Effects of Helicopter Parenting on College Students from the Millennial Generation written by BaoChun Z. Hind and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The social phenomenon of helicopter parenting (HP) has been rapidly growing. Although HP is generally characterized as overly involved parents who "hover" over their college student children (Cline & Fay, 1990), and some research efforts have been made in recent years on understanding the construct of HP, an essential weakness of the majority of these studies is the inadequate conceptualization of HP, both theoretically and operationally. The aim of the current study was to develop a new scale to measure the construct of helicopter parent controlling (HPC), and three questions were used to guide this study: (1) What are the underlying dimensions of the construct of HPC? (2) What is the relationship between HPC practices and college students' perceived stress? (3) How do the effects of HPC practices on college students' perceived stress differ when accounting for parental acceptance/warmth (AW)? The study was cross-sectional survey research and the survey data were collected through self-reported online questionnaires. The two samples included 755 and 551 college students respectively from the Millennial generation (18 ≤ 33 years) who were enrolled in fall 2015. The convenient sampling approach was used in which all the data were collected at a large, public institution in the Midwest region of the United States. The instruments included the following: Helicopter Parenting Scale, Helicopter Parenting and Autonomy Supportive Behaviors, Helicopter Parenting Instrument, Overparenting, Helicopter Parent Controlling Scale, Child Report of Parent Behavior Inventory, and Perceived Stress Scale. Using Mplus (7.4, Muthén & Muthén, 1998-2015), findings from both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed the multidimensional nature of the HPC construct. Although the three-factor model had no cross loadings in the exploratory factor analyses, both three-factor and four-factor solutions had good model fitting and reliability, and both were interpretable. Using the three-factor solution, the HPC construct consisted of three dimensions: Precautionary Actions, Problem Solving, and Physical Concerns; while using the four-factor solution, the additional dimension was Whereabouts Concerns. Consistent with the HP literature, findings from the structural equation modeling analyses in Sample Two revealed positive, predictive relationships between Precautionary Actions and Stress, and between Problem Solving and Stress. When the factor of AW was added to the tested models, Precautionary Actions no longer predicted Stress, and Problem Solving became a stronger predictor of Stress. Further, AW served as a moderator on the link between Problem Solving and Stress. The multidimensionality of the HPC construct indicated that helicopter parents not only "hovered" over their college-going children when issues or problems occurred, but these parents also intervened in their children's lives in a broad way. To many Millennial college students, their parents' controlling behaviors were not welcomed, and were perceived as intrusive. Despite helicopter parents' controlling, their AW continued to play a vital role during the child's college experience. For caring and supportive helicopter parents, college students no longer perceived parents' solving problems on their behalf as negative. Limitations of the study, recommendations for future research, and implications for counseling and counselor education were also discussed.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many students make the transition from high school into college, they are often exposed to many new experiences and environments. Many of these transitioning students are faced with less parental influence and involvement. One such choice that faces many college students is the availability and opportunity to engage in consuming alcohol. More than half on the college populations consumes alcohol within a given month. It is no surprise that alcohol related deaths, accidents and other negative effects have been steadily increasing. Given the increased rates of alcohol related consequences are on the rise prevention efforts have not kept pace. This study tested a one two and three way interaction model to compare 2-year and 4-year institutions on the risky drinking practices of pregaming, drinking games, and co-occurring alcohol mixed with energy drinks with the role of sensation seeking and positive family history for substance abuse as moderators in this comparison. College students recruited for a 2-year and a 4-year institution (N = 159 students 68.6 % 4-year-institution, 31.1% 2-year-institution, Mage = 19.19, Female 67.3% female, White 53.5%) completed an anonymous self-report assessment examining alcohol use, alcohol consequences, and psychosocial factors associated with alcohol use (i.e., sensation seeking and perceived consequences). Results indicated that higher levels of sensation seeking along with institution type were related to increased engagement in risky drinking practices. Significant moderating effects were found for positive family history of substance abuse and school type. Overall, the results indicated that sensation seeking and institution type does have a significant impact on risky drinking behaviors.

Download or read book Shame Guilt and Drinking to cope as Mediators Between Child Maltreatment and Problematic Alcohol Use in College Students written by Kelsey Michelle Julian and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking for emotion regulation may be a particular concern for college students who have experienced childhood maltreatment due to difficulty tolerating high levels of trauma-related shame and guilt. While shame-proneness has been associated with higher levels of problematic alcohol use through more drinking-to-cope, guilt-proneness is inversely related. The relations of shame and guilt to drinking outcomes have not been explored among trauma-exposed samples, and it is believed that trauma related guilt may function more like shame-proneness than guilt-proneness. The present study tested how shame-proneness, guilt-proneness, and trauma-related guilt are differently related to drinking motives and, in turn, how this pathway relates to drinking behaviors and alcohol-related consequences in individuals who have experienced childhood maltreatment. In a sample of 252 undergraduates with maltreatment experiences and alcohol use, bootstrapped estimations revealed significant serial indirect effects of childhood maltreatment on alcohol use through trauma-related guilt and subsequent drinking to-cope and through shame-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope, but not through guilt-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope. There were also significant serial indirect effects of childhood maltreatment on alcohol use-related consequences through trauma-related guilt and subsequent drinking-to-cope and through shame- proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope, but not through guilt-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope. As predicted, trauma-related guilt was found to function similarly to shame-proneness within this sample. Thus, on college campuses, in order to prevent the development of alcohol use disorders among childhood maltreatment survivors, interventions should target maladaptive feelings of shame and guilt.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helicopter parents have a considerable effect on the health and wellbeing of their college student children. By trying to hold on and take control of their children’s lives, helicopter parent’s children can be negatively impacted over the course of their lives. Overinvolved parenting has been shown to be associated with lower self-efficacy in young adult children. One of the consequences of parents attempting to solve all their children’s problems, and assuming responsibility for their children’s wellbeing far into adulthood, is that children fail to develop a strong belief in their own abilities to solve problems and achieve goals. As children grow up and become young adults entering college, they try to develop autonomy from their parents but may be inadvertently prevented from doing so by their helicopter parents. This project reports on studies that have shown that higher levels of helicopter parenting are associated with more symptoms of depression and lower self-efficacy which in turn, are associated with more symptoms of depression and lower self-efficacy which in turn, are associated with lower levels of academic and social adjustment to college. To lower the effect that helicopter parents have on their college aged children, this project proposal develops a program called Parent Intervention Targeting Student Transition and Helicopter Parenting (PITSTAHP), a session for parents at the end of orientation time. The session take them through an interactive discussion about the negative effects of helicopter parenting. PITSTAHP offers conversation starters and helpful tips so that parents can effectively communicate with their college-aged children while avoiding or interrupting the helicopter parenting role.

Download or read book Increasing Emotion Regulation Skills for the Reduction of Heavy Drinking written by Heather Anne Brister and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy drinking puts college students at risk for academic failure, alcohol use disorders, and even death. Although several interventions have proven moderately successful, overall rates of collegiate heavy drinking and consequences have significantly increased since 1998, as interventions may not adequately address underlying reasons for drinking. Research has consistently shown that college students who drink primarily to regulate emotions (i.e., internal drinking motives) are heavier drinkers, experience more consequences, and are likely to continue drinking heavily after college. Further, internal drinking motives are indicative of emotion dysregulation and associated personality traits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is empirically supported and includes a group-based component designed to teach concrete behavioral emotion regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance skills. DBT skills training alone has been shown to reduce substance abuse and binge eating and is a promising, but untested, strategy for reducing collegiate alcohol abuse. The aims of the current study were threefold: (a) examine the efficacy of a DBT-based emotion regulation skills training (ERST) as an intervention for college student drinking, (b) examine theoretically-informed mechanisms of change (i.e., changes in mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance), and (c) examine intervention moderators (i.e., gender, readiness to change, and internal drinking motives). After completing pre-test measures, college students reporting two or more heavy drinking episodes during the past month were randomly assigned to an ERST or assessment-only control (AO) condition. ERST participants completed a single 3-hour group session of ERST within 7 days of completing pre-intervention measures and all participants completed two additional assessments. The current study found that ERST participants showed significantly greater reductions in heavy drinking and alcohol-related consequences relative to AO control participants. Contrary to hypotheses, intervention participation did not increase hypothesized mechanisms of change (i.e., mindfulness, emotion regulation, or distress tolerance) although emotion regulation and distress tolerance moderated intervention efficacy. Finally, ERST participation appeared to serve as a protective factor against heavy drinking and consequences for internally motivated drinkers. Overall findings provide preliminary support for the feasibility of ERST as a new intervention for reducing problematic drinking by college students and suggest future directions for mechanisms of change and moderation hypotheses.

Download or read book Parental Support Psychological Control and Behavioral Control written by Brian K. Barber and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2005-12-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can parents, and others interested in adolescents, do to facilitate their healthy development? In many decades of work, researchers have continually identified three central dimensions of parenting: support, behavioral control, and psychological control, all of which have been associated consistently with either positive or negative indicators of adolescent functioning. Notwithstanding its volume, the research has been non specific as to the effects of these dimensions and has otherwise been limited by a predominant concentration on western families. This monograph reported on research that addressed these limitations by testing specific effects of the parenting dimensions and by doing with multiple analytic techniques on data from adolescents in 11 cultures across the world. In al sites, it was found that support was associated with higher adolescent social competence and lower depression; psychological control with higher depression and antisocial behavior; and behavioral control with lower antisocial behavior. Recommendations included considering that these dimensions are the parental contribution to relationship types or socialization conditions that, when achieved, (with parents or other significant person) are responsible for the effects.

Download or read book Aspiration written by Agnes Callard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming someone is a learning process; and what we learn is the new values around which, if we succeed, our lives will come to turn. Agents transform themselves in the process of, for example, becoming parents, embarking on careers, or acquiring a passion for music or politics. How can such activity be rational, if the reason for engaging in the relevant pursuit is only available to the person one will become? How is it psychologically possible to feel the attraction of a form of concern that is not yet one's own? How can the work done to arrive at the finish line be ascribed to one who doesn't (really) know what one is doing, or why one is doing it? In Aspiration, Agnes Callard asserts that these questions belong to the theory of aspiration. Aspirants are motivated by proleptic reasons, acknowledged defective versions of the reasons they expect to eventually grasp. The psychology of such a transformation is marked by intrinsic conflict between their old point of view on value and the one they are trying to acquire. They cannot adjudicate this conflict by deliberating or choosing or deciding-rather, they resolve it by working to see the world in a new way. This work has a teleological structure: by modeling oneself on the person he or she is trying to be, the aspirant brings that person into being. Because it is open to us to engage in an activity of self-creation, we are responsible for having become the kinds of people we are.
