Parental antisocial behavior (B = 0.06, t(480) = 2.64, p < .01, R2 = 1.26%), but not alcohol dependence symptoms (B = 0.03, t(479) = 1.53, p = 0.13, R2 = 0.53%) 5, predicted higher levels of adolescent externalizing. Consistent with the pattern observed in the zero-order correlations, LMM tests indicated that parental antisocial behavior (B = .27, t(475) = 3.54, p < .01, R2 = 2.63%) and alcohol dependence symptoms (B = .24, t(474) = 3.15, p < .01, R2 = 1.60%) predicted a greater number of life events.
