Family Risk Factors and Adolescent Substance Use: Moderation Effects for Temperament Dimensions.

Wills, Thomas Ashby; Sandy, James M.; Yaeger, Alison; Shinar, Ori

Developmental Psychology, v37 n3 p283-97 May 2001

Tested for moderation in the relation of family risk factors to adolescent substance use. Surveyed 1,810 participants at 11.5 years and followed with 2 yearly assessments. Found that impact of parental risk factors was decreased among participants with higher task attentional orientation and positive emotionality (resilience) and was increased among participants with higher activity level and negative emotionality (vulnerability).
