在这篇论文中，我们考察了家庭凝聚力在多大程度上缓冲了父亲在时间1(T1)饮酒问题对青少年痛苦、越轨和一年后2(T2)大量饮酒的影响。来自658个家庭的代表性样本的数据被用来检验假设。母亲、父亲(如果在场)和青春期儿童在家中接受采访。在场的父亲完成了测量饮酒问题的自我报告量表。当没有父亲的时候，母亲关于父亲饮酒的报告被用来衡量父亲的饮酒问题。回归分析结果表明，在控制了种族、社会经济地位、年龄、性别和家庭结构的影响后：(1)家庭凝聚力越强，压力事件越少，青少年表现出的痛苦、越轨和酗酒越少；(2)当凝聚力低时，父亲的问题饮酒会影响青少年的痛苦和越轨；但随着凝聚力的增加，父亲饮酒的影响会减弱。这一发现支持了这样一种假设，即家庭的凝聚力可以缓冲父亲酗酒问题对青少年的影响。
In this paper we examine the degree to which family cohesion buffers the effects of fathers' problem drinking at Time 1 (T1) on adolescent distress, deviance, and heavy drinking at Time 2 (T2), one year later. Data from a representative sample of 658 families were used to test the hypotheses. Mothers, fathers (if present), and adolescent children were interviewed in the home. Fathers who were present completed self-report scales measuring problem drinking. When fathers were not available, mothers' reports on fathers' drinking were used to measure fathers' problem drinking. Results from regression analysis indicate that after controlling for the effects of race, SES, age, gender, and family structure: (1) the more cohesion in the family and the fewer stressful events, the less distress, deviance, and heavy drinking shown by adolescents; (2) the father's problem drinking affects adolescent distress and deviance when cohesion is low; but as cohesion increases, she effects of the father's drinking are reduced. The findings support the hypothesis that cohesion in families buffers the effects of fathers' problem drinking on adolescents.
