New student paper! Moderators of the Association Between Parental Separation and Adolescent Externalizing Behaviors and Substance Use

November 1, 2024 by PEANUTs Lab

Madison Bissa, who is now a PhD student in clinical psychology at the University of Tulsa, recently published her Honors thesis completed in the lab in the peer-reviewed journal Adolescent Research Review.

Madi conducted a systematic literature review examining the moderators of the association between parent divorce and adolescent externalizing behaviors and substance use. In other words, her review helped understand for which adolescents and when parental divorce/separation has a larger or smaller association with externalizing behaviors and substance use. This work was conducted with the contribution of five undergraduate research assistants who are co-authors on the paper: Parker Haley, Ashley Wells, Jenna LaBelle, McKenna Nhem, and Delaney Fulp.

Infographic about Madison's article. Main findings are that divorce earlier in an adolescent's lifetime is more strongly related to externalizing behaviors in adolescence, positive family relationships are protective, and cultural factors should be taken into consideration.
