This study tested interactions among puberty-related genetic risk, prenatal substance use, harsh discipline, and pubertal timing for the severity and directionality (i.e., differentiation) of externalizing and internalizing problems and adolescent substance use. This is a companion paper to Marceau et al. (2021) which examined the same influences in developmental cascade models. Data were from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) cohort (n = 4504 White boys, n = 4287 White girls assessed from the prenatal period through 18.5 years). We hypothesized generally that later predictors would strengthen the influence of puberty-related genetic risk, prenatal substance use exposure, and pubertal risk on psychopathology and substance use (two-way interactions), and that later predictors would strengthen the interactions of earlier influences on psychopathology and substance use (three-way interactions). Interactions were sparse. Although all fourteen interactions showed that later influences can exacerbate or trigger the effects of earlier ones, they often were not in the expected direction. The most robust moderator was parental discipline, and differing and synergistic effects of biological and socially-relevant aspects of puberty were found. In all, the influences examined here operate more robustly in developmental cascades than in interaction with each other for the development of psychopathology and transitions to substance use.
