The present study aimed to determine whether low deviant peer affiliations and risk aversion were two protective mediating mechanisms of this relationship. A risk mechanism of high negative emotionality, consistent with the tension reduction hypothesis, was also investigated. For exploratory purposes, the mediators were tested on three separate alcohol use outcomes: frequency of use, frequency of heavy use, and problematic use. Data from age cohorts 9, 12, and 15 (N=2,318) of the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods’ (PHDCN) Longitudinal Cohort Study were utilized. Path analyses for all models revealed that internalizing problems were associated with high negative emotionality and low impulsivity. Also, high peer deviance was found to increase adolescents’ risk for all alcohol use outcomes, implying a possible target for intervention. Contrary to predictions, high negative emotionality significantly negatively mediated the relationship between internalizing problems and alcohol use frequency. 2015 English text University of Dayton / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1448736699 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=dayton1448736699 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
