description

espanolLos objetivos de esta investigacion son analizar la relacion del consumo de sustancias con el estilo de crianza de los padres y la percepcion de eficacia academica por parte de los adolescentes, estudiar la diferente contribucion de estos factores a la prediccion del consumo de sustancias en la adolescencia y observar la funcion de la autoeficacia academica en la relacion entre el estilo de crianza y el consumo de sustancias en la adolescencia. Participaron 762 adolescentes (53% hombres), de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 16 anos (M = 13.66, DT = 1.34). La muestra se selecciono con criterios probabilisticos por conglomerados, atendiendo al tipo de centro (educacion secundaria, publico frente a privado/ concertado) y ubicacion en diferentes zonas de la ciudad de Valencia, para atender distintos estratos sociales familiares. Los resultados indican que en comparacion con la adolescencia temprana, en la adolescencia media aumenta el consumo de sustancias y la negligencia de los padres, ademas de disminuir el apoyo y la comunicacion familiar junto con la eficacia academica percibida. El consumo de sustancias esta relacionado positivamente con la negligencia, el control psicologico y el rechazo por parte de los padres. La negligencia y el control psicologico actuan como variables moderadoras, pero solo el control psicologico actua como variable mediadora entre la eficacia academica y el consumo de sustancias. EnglishThis study examines (i) the relationships between substance use and parenting style and between substance use and perceived academic self-efficacy in early and middle adolescence, (ii) the importance of these factors in predicting adolescent substance use, and (iii) the role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between parenting styles and adolescent substance use. The sample comprised 762 adolescents (53% boys) aged 12 to 16 years (M = 13.66, SD = 1.34). The sample was selected using probabilistic cluster sampling according to type of school (secondary, public vs. semiprivate) and school location in different areas of the city of Valencia (Spain). This approach accounted for different social strata of families. The results show that substance use and parents’ neglect are greater in middle adolescence than in early adolescence. Support and family communication and perceived academic self-efficacy are lower. Substance use is positively related to parents’ neglect, psychological control, and rejection. The relationships between neglect and psychological control and substance use are moderated by academic self-efficacy, and the relationship between psychological control and substance use is mediated by academic self-efficacy
