TL;DR: Results suggest that both parental monitoring knowledge and parent–child relationship quality serve as buffers against negative consequences of substance use—but only when adolescents report high levels of monitoring knowledge or strong parent– child relationship quality.
Abstract: When adolescents begin using substances, negative consequences are not always directly proportional to the amount used; heavy users may have few consequences whereas light users may have numerous consequences. This study examined how parental monitoring knowledge and parent–child relationship quality may serve as buffers against negative consequences when adolescents use substances. Self-report questionnaires were administered to a community sample of 200 healthy adolescents and their parents at two time points, one year apart. Results suggest that both parental monitoring knowledge and parent–child relationship quality serve as buffers against negative consequences of substance use—but only when adolescents report high levels of monitoring knowledge or strong parent–child relationship quality. Results suggests adolescent perceived parental monitoring knowledge and parent–child relationship quality each act independently to buffer adolescents against negative consequences of substance use over a 1-year period.

Abstract: Intimate partner violence often begins during the courtship stage of romantic relationships. Although some relationships dissolve as a result of aggression, other relationships remain intact, increasing the risk for escalated violence. The present study identified factors predictive of individual differences in emerging adults’ commitment to physically aggressive or sexually coercive dating relationships. Specifically, Rusbult’s Investment Model of romantic relationships (e.g., investment, satisfaction, quality of alternatives, and commitment) was applied to a longitudinal sample of 148 young adult women who reported experiencing aggression or coercion from their current partners. To further explain commitment within aggressive or coercive dating relationships, rejection sensitivity and anxious and avoidant romantic relational styles were included as predictors of the Investment Model variables. A more avoidant romantic style indirectly predicted commitment through relationship satisfaction and investment...
