Adolescent alcohol abuse increases across the adolescent years. If left unchecked,
alcohol abuse can give rise to delinquency, poor grades, and risky sexual behavior
(Stueve & O’Donnell, 2005; Ellickson, Tucker, & Klein, 2003). Past research suggests
that minimal parental oversight increases the risk for adolescent alcohol abuse. There is
also evidence, however, that parents withdraw from oversight in the face of adolescent
problem behaviors (Barber & Olsen, 1997; Hafen & Laursen, 2009). Each may vary
according to the child’s physical development. Parents may respond to pubertal
maturation with reduced supervision and early maturing girls may be sensitive to parent
supervision because of the additional pressures and attention they receive from older,
possibly deviant, peers (Stattin, Kerr, & Skoog, 2011). / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
