Although previous research has identified links between parenting and adolescent substance use, little is known about the role of adolescent individual processes, such as sensation seeking, and temperamental tendencies for such links. To test tenets from biopsychosocial models of adolescent risk behavior and differential susceptibility theory, this study investigated longitudinal associations among positive and harsh parenting, adolescent sensation seeking, and substance use and tested whether the indirect associations were moderated by adolescent temperament, including activation control, frustration, sadness, and positive emotions. Longitudinal data reported by adolescents (n = 892; 49.66% girls) and their mothers from eight cultural groups when adolescents were ages 12, 13, and 14 were used. A moderated mediation model showed that parenting was related to adolescent substance use, both directly and indirectly, through sensation seeking. Indirect associations were moderated by adolescent temperament. This study advances understanding of the developmental paths between the contextual and individual factors critical for adolescent substance use across a wide range of cultural contexts.

尽管之前的研究已经确定了养育子女与青少年物质使用之间的联系，但人们对青少年个体过程的作用知之甚少，例如感觉寻求和这种联系的气质倾向。为了测试青少年危险行为的生物心理社会模型和差异易感性理论的原理，本研究调查了积极和严厉的养育、青少年感觉寻求和物质使用之间的纵向关联，并测试了间接关联是否受到青少年气质的调节，包括激活控制、挫败感、悲伤和积极的情绪。使用来自八个文化群体的青少年（ n  = 892；49.66% 女孩）及其母亲在青少年 12、13 和 14 岁时报告的纵向数据。有调节的中介模型表明，养育方式与青少年物质使用直接或通过感觉寻求间接相关。间接关联受到青少年气质的调节。这项研究增进了对在各种文化背景下对青少年物质使用至关重要的背景因素和个人因素之间的发展路径的理解。
