Abstract

The importance of the relationship between young people and their parental figures for adaptative development has been supported by literature, namely prosocial capacities and less involvement in risk behaviors. The quality of peer relationships may also play a protective role regarding alcohol consumption. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of parenting styles and peer attachment on the reasons for alcohol consumption. Participants were 1.044 university students of both sexes, between 18 and 25 years of age (M = 19.78; SD = 1.68). For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Parenting Styles & Dimensions Questionnaire: Short Version (PSDQ), the Inventory of Peer and Parental Attachment (IPPA-peer), the Drinking Motives Questionnaire – Revised (DMQ-R), and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) were used. The results reveal a positive predictive effect of negative parenting styles (authoritarian and permissive) and alienation with peers on the reasons for alcohol consumption and a negative predictive impact on democratic parenting style and peer attachment based on communication and trust. Women have a better relational quality with their peers compared to males. Men have a greater diversity of reasons for consuming alcohol. Results are discussed considering the relevance of parenting styles, the quality of peer relationships in personal development, and the motivations of young adults, in a university context, for risk-taking behavior.
