Alcohol and Early Marriage: Spouse and Peer Influence

超过SPACEPROVIDED计划在下一个颁奖期收集两个主要数据，一是在七周年纪念时收集第五波(W5)，另一是在九周年时收集第六波(W6)数据。1996年被招募参加这项研究的夫妇从2003年秋季开始接受W5评估。在下一个授权期的前1.5年(2005年4月至2006年9月)，将继续对样本进行W5评估。W6评估将于2005年9月开始，一直持续到2008年9月。这些评估将继续侧重于饮酒伙伴关系、婚姻功能和同伴/家庭网络。此外，孩子年龄在2岁到17岁之间的夫妇将在这两项评估中提供关于儿童行为问题和育儿行为的报告。实质上，我们将继续关注饮酒伙伴关系、婚姻功能和同伴/家庭网络，我们的分析将继续检查这些领域之间的纵向关系。特别是，我们将测试关系动机模型对理解夫妻饮酒的影响，以及夫妻饮酒差异对婚姻功能的相关性。我们还将进一步测试酒精和婚姻暴力的压力应对模型，并确定该模型是否适用于其他与酒精相关的婚姻问题。在本样本中，我们将扩展我们的分析以解决三个新出现的重要问题。首先，第七到第九个周年纪念日对于婚姻解体来说是关键的一年，我们将研究最近和长期饮酒对婚姻解体的影响，控制与饮酒和离婚相关的其他因素。我们还将测试这一假设，即双方都是酗酒者的夫妇离婚的可能性可能较小。第二个新出现的焦点将是儿童相对于父母饮酒的重要性。我们将研究饮酒、婚姻压力和育儿压力之间的相互关系，以及这种关系对儿童功能的纵向影响，以及儿童行为问题是否影响父母饮酒和婚姻冲突。最后，研究表明，许多有家庭责任的有工作的成年人报告说，他们的工作和家庭角色相互干扰，这种工作和家庭冲突与不良后果有关，包括酗酒或酗酒问题。在下一个获奖期，我们将能够纵向研究这些问题，并将关于同事饮酒的信息整合到家庭/工作冲突和饮酒的模型中。表演网站========================================Section End===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACEPROVIDED. Two major data collections are planned for the next award period, Wave 5 (W5) at the seventh anniversary for the couples, and Wave 6 (W6) at the ninth anniversary. Couples who were recruitedinto the study in 1996 were assessed for W5 beginning in the Fall of 2003. W5 assessment will continue for the sample for the first 1.5 years of the next award period (April 2005 to September 2006). The W6 assessment willbegin in September 2005, and continue until September 2008. These assessments will continue to focus on drinking partnerships, marital functioning, and peer/familynetworks. In addition, couples with children between the ages of 2 and 17will provide reports on child behavior problems and parenting behavior at both of these assessments. Substantively, we will continue to focus on drinking partnerships, marital functioning, and peer/familynetworks, and our analyses will continue to examine the longitudinal relationship among these domains. In particular, we will test the implications of the relationship motivation model for understanding husband and wife drinking, and the relevance of discrepant couple drinking for marital functioning. We will also further test a stress-coping model for alcohol and marital violence, and determine whether it can be applied to other alcohol-relatedmarital problems. We will extend our analyses to address three issues of emerging importance in this sample. First, the seventh through the ninth anniversaries are critical ones with respect to marital dissolutions and we will examine the impact of recent and chronic drinking on marital dissolution controlling for other factors related to drinking and divorce. We will also test the hypothesis that couples in which both members are heavy drinkers may be less likely to divorce. A second emerging focus will be the importance of children relative to parental alcohol use. We will be examine the interrelationship between drinking, marital stress, and parenting stress, and the longitudinal impact of this on child functioning, as well as to examine whether child behavior problems influenceparental drinking and marital conflict. Finally, research indicates that many employed adults with family responsibilities report that their work and family roles interferewith one another and that this work-familyconflict is associated with adverse outcomes, including heavier or problematic drinking. In the next award period, we will be able to examine these issues longitudinally and integrate information concerning coworker drinking into models of family/work conflict and drinking.
