研究背景酒精在年轻人中的使用非常普遍。儿童时期遭受虐待的个人特别容易受到酒精使用和与酒精有关的问题的影响。很少有研究考察家庭保护因素，例如父母的温暖，这些因素可以减轻童年虐待对酒精相关问题的影响。目的本研究试图检查父母的温暖在多大程度上减少童年虐待对青少年酒精相关问题的影响。参与者和背景参与者是年轻人(N = 337；平均年龄 = 21.7)，从城市社区招募，并完成面对面访谈，评估童年虐待、父母温暖和酒精相关问题。方法使用多层次线性回归模型检验母亲和父亲的温暖是否减少了童年暴露于虐待中对青年酒精相关问题的影响。结果父亲温暖对儿童情绪虐待与酒精相关问题之间的关系有显著的调节作用(β=-0.29，p <； .05)。具体地说，在父亲温暖程度较高的个体中，情感虐待与酒精相关问题之间的联系较弱。母亲温暖对虐待-问题酒精使用关系的调节作用不被支持。结论本研究结果表明，父母温暖可能不仅与子女较少的酒精相关问题有关，而且可能改变童年情绪虐待与青年期酒精相关问题之间的关联。
BackgroundAlcohol use among young adults is highly prevalent. Individuals exposed to childhood maltreatment are particularly vulnerable to alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Few studies have examined family protective factors, such as parental warmth, that may mitigate the effects of childhood maltreatment on alcohol-related problems.ObjectiveThe current study seeks to examine the extent to which parental warmth reduces the effect of childhood exposure to maltreatment on alcohol-related problems in young adulthood.Participants and settingParticipants were young adults (N = 337; mean age = 21.7), who were recruited from an urban community and completed in-person interviews assessing childhood maltreatment, parental warmth, and alcohol-related problems.MethodsMultiple hierarchical linear regression models were used to examine whether maternal and paternal warmth reduced the impact of childhood exposure to maltreatment on alcohol-related problems in young adulthood. Common risk factors for alcohol-related problems, including psychological symptoms and peer and parental alcohol use, were also entered into the models.ResultsWe found a significant moderating effect of paternal warmth on the associations between childhood emotional abuse and alcohol-related problems (β= -0.29, p < .05). Specifically, the association between emotional abuse and alcohol-related problems was weaker among individuals with higher levels of paternal warmth. Moderating effects of maternal warmth on the maltreatment-problematic alcohol use relation were not supported.ConclusionThe results of this research suggest that parental warmth may not only relate to fewer alcohol-related problems among offspring, but may also modify the associations between childhood emotional abuse and alcohol-related problems during young adulthood.
