Sažetak
The relationship between perceived parental acceptance-rejection and drug use was examined, separately for boys and girls. The sample included 572 high school students (318 boys and 254 girls ; age range: 14-19 years) from Zagreb, Croatia. Parental behavior was assessed via short form of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire- Child Version (Rohner, 2005), while drug use was measured by frequency of lifetime drug use. When controlling for socio-demographic variables, parenting dimensions explain more of the variance of lifetime drug use among girls than among boys. Paternal undifferentiated rejection and maternal warmth-affection were significant predictors of boys’ drug use, while paternal hostility- aggression was significant predictor of girls’ drug use. The results are consistent with the postulates of PARTheory.
