Again, the social drinkers had an intermediate position between the two other groups with regard to the number and impact of life events, paternal acceptance, and possibilities to participate at school.
During early adolescence at time 1 there was a strong contribution coming from negative parenting variables to the regression equation, whereas in later adolescence at time 2 it was avoidant coping, perceived lacking possibilities to participate at school, and peer acceptance that contributed to the prediction of PSU.
At younger age in early adolescence, negative perceived parenting contributes significantly to PSU whereas with greater autonomy in late adolescence these associations are replaced by deficits in active problem solving as indicated by avoidant coping, a feeling of having a lack of possibilities to participate at school, and peer influences as reflected by high peer acceptance.
Among the other psychosocial variables only a few contributed to the prediction and included some variables that were assessed in early adolescence, namely, low scores on the internalizing dimension which is just the correlate of the externalizing problems, heightened self-awareness, and a feeling of lacking possibilities to participate at school.
Compared to the two other groups they had experienced a higher number and a more negative impact of life events, used less active and more avoidant coping, had less self-esteem but more self-awareness, felt less accepted and more rejected by both parents, and experienced more controlling teachers and less possibilities to participate at school.
The corresponding findings for time 2 are shown in table 3. Again, the PSU group experienced a higher number of life events and more negative life events impact, more use of avoidant coping, less parental acceptance and more parental rejection, more controlling teachers, and fewer possibilities to participate at school, but felt more accepted among peers.
The survey was administered to 66 schools, and 2 or 3 classes participated at each school.
