adolescents with lower levels of sensation seeking27 and those who reported R - rated movie restrictions were at lower risk for trying smoking.18, — , 23 The results also revealed negative associations
between adolescents» levels of sensation seeking and later R - rated movie restrictions, which indicates that sensation - seeking

In prior work we used a longitudinal design to test whether the interaction
between internalizing and externalizing symptoms in
early adolescence (11 — 12 years old) predicted
adolescent alcohol and drug use (a composite of cigarette, marijuana, and other illicit SU) 2 years later (Scalco et al. 2014).
Two proposed models may account for longitudinal relations among these peer processes and conduct problems: the (a) sequential mediation model, in which peer rejection in childhood and deviant peer affiliation in adolescence mediate the link

adolescents was made to explore differences

In the same manner, a consistent significant influence from
adolescents» perceptions of relationships with friends to relationships with parents (except regarding negative interaction from

In addition, clear differences
between the predictor profiles confirmed that, compared to the abstainers and late onset groups, the
early onset substance use group appeared to be at much higher risk for adverse childhood predictors (revealing a problematic profile), including lower levels of parental knowledge about
