Notes: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. Values in cursive are standardized coefficients.

We also examined whether authoritative parenting moderates the im-
pact of perceived discrimination on health and substance use. We split the
respondents in two groups: low- and high-authoritative parenting group ac-
cording to median value. Table 2 shows the negative impact of perceived dis-
crimination on subjective health in low-authoritative group (B = -0.13; p <
0.001; first column) and no impact in high-authoritative groups (p > 0.05; sec�-
ond column). In addition, there is no significant impact of discrimination on
substance use in either low-authoritative group or high-authoritative group
(p > 0.05). In sum, these results indicate that authoritative parenting attenu-�
ates the negative impact of discrimination on subjective health, but does not
moderate discrimination-substance use link, which remains insignificant in
both groups.
