Abstract

We investigated variations in associations of alcohol-related parenting factors with alcohol expectancies by perceived friends' disapproval of alcohol use in middle-school-aged youth (n = 7657). Perceived friend disapproval moderated the association of deciding on rules about drinking with positive expectancies. Parenting factors and friend disapproval were independently associated with negative expectancies.
