Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study is to examine the relationships between perceived parenting, spiritual expression, and alcohol situational confidence among high school seniors and first year college students using a Transtheoretical Model (TTM) framework. Participants (n = 712) were recruited from mid-sized public high schools and universities in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. First, a perceived parenting measure was developed using factor analytic methods. Second, relationships between perceived parenting, spiritual expression situational confidence (SESC), and alcohol situational confidence (ASC) were tested via a series of structural equation models. Results indicated significant predictive relationships between perceived parenting, SESC, and ASC, including support for SESC as a mediator in the relationship between perceived parenting and ASC. Significant differences between high school and college students are also discussed, and implications of the current findings, limitations, and suggestions are presented to provide directions for future research.

Book Parenting Styles and Practices as Predictors of Adjustment and Drinking Motives During the First Year of College

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.

Book excerpt: Depression: The Evolution of Powerlessness offers a fresh perspective on research, theory and conceptualisations of the depressive disorders, derived from evolution theory and arguing for the adoption of the biopsychosocial model. The book is split into three parts. Part I explores the major distinctions between all types of depression and Part II offers an overview of evolution theory and its application to depression. Part III covers the major theories of depression; theories are compared and contrasted, highlighting controversies, weaknesses and strengths, and where cross fertilisation of ideas may be beneficial. The final chapter outlines why simple theories of aetiology are inadequate and explores the role of culture and social relationships as elicitors of many forms of depression. This Classic Edition, with a new introduction from the author, brings Paul Gilbert's early work to a new audience, and will be of interest to clinicians, researchers and historians in the field of psychology.
