Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), Xavier University, Psychology.
Heavy alcohol use and its associated negative consequences are prevalent across college settings in the United States. Such consequences include psychological, physiological, and behavioral functioning. Past research has established a link between childhood maltreatment, including corporal punishment (CP) and later alcohol use. The current study explored two possible mediation models to investigate the relations between CP and 1) alcohol use and 2) alcohol consequences. It was predicted that the effects of CP would be mediated by the level of attachment to the primary disciplinary parent. Both models were tested in a sample of 224 college students (67.9% women; 82.1% White). Model 1 hypothesized that childhood CP would lead to increased alcohol use and that this relation would be mediated by level of attachment to the primary disciplinary parent. Model 2 hypothesized that childhood CP would lead to increased alcohol-use related consequences and that this relation would be mediated by level of attachment to the primary disciplinary parent. Neither model was supported. CP exerted no direct effect on alcohol use or consequences (b = -.35, p = .23; b = .56, p = .10, respectively) or indirect effects (b = -.31, p = .34; b = .60, p = .11, respectively). Childhood CP was not a useful predictor of college alcohol use patterns.
