Correlations between Alcohol Involvement, Dysphoria, and their combined effects, with Social Conformity, Perceived Opportunity, Relationship Satisfaction, parental divorce, and Family Support/Bonding were examined with Structural Equation Modeling in a community sample of late adolescents (males = 290, females = 606). Results revealed gender differences between Alcohol Involvement and Dysphoria. Girls had an affectively-involved style of alcohol use that was reflected in a second-order construct, while Alcohol Involvement and Dysphoria were unrelated for teenage boys. Boys had a stronger association between Alcohol Involvement and less Family Support/Bonding than girls. Less satisfaction with opposite sex friends was related to more Alcohol Involvement for boys and more Dysphoria for girls.
