Abstract: The present study examined the additive and interactive associations of 2 parenting variables, Perceived Parental Reciprocity (as measured using the Perception of Parental Reciprocity Scale, POPRS) and Perceived Parental Approval (PPA) of adolescent substance use, with adolescent substance use initiation and escalation. Urban high school students (N = 443) were categorized into abstainers, experimenters, and regular users of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis. The confirmatory hypotheses that frequency of substance use would be associated (a) positively with PPA and (b) negatively with POPRS were supported for all 3 substances. The association with POPRS, however, depended on the stage of substance use and the substance in question. The third hypothesis of an interactive association of POPRS and PPA with frequency of substance use was found only for tobacco; however, the direction of the interaction was the reverse of that expected. Implications of these findings and future directions for research are discussed.
