The purpose of this study was to describe adolescent girls' perceptions of their parents' contact with and knowledge of the girls' boyfriends. A second objective was to determine if knowledge was related to demographic characteristics of the girls or aspects of the relationship with their boyfriend.
Cross-sectional analysis of data from an interview with adolescent girls enrolled in a longitudinal study.
Urban adolescent medicine clinic.
Adolescent girls (n = 109) with a mean age of 17.6 (range 14.9-19.3 yr). Eighty percent were African-American and 20% were Caucasian.
Most girls reported that their parents had some contact (either in person or on the phone) with their boyfriends. Thirteen girls reported that their parents did not know their boyfriends well, 40 reported that their parents knew their boyfriends somewhat, and 56 reported that their parents knew their boyfriends well. Age, race, and sexual experience were not related to how well the parents knew the boyfriend. Girls who had been involved with their boyfriends longer, believed that their relationship would last longer, were more satisfied, were more likely to tell their boyfriends private information and were more likely to describe their parents as knowing their boyfriends well.
These results provide an initial description of girls' perceptions of their parents' relationships with their boyfriends. It would be important to understand how to utilize the information regarding these parental-boyfriend relationships to further adolescent girls' development of healthy (both psychologically and physically) relationships.
本研究的目的是描述青春期女孩对父母与自己男朋友接触情况及了解程度的看法。第二个目的是确定这种了解程度是否与女孩的人口统计学特征或与男朋友关系的某些方面有关。
对参与一项纵向研究的青春期女孩访谈数据进行横断面分析。
城市青少年医学诊所。
平均年龄为17.6岁（范围14.9 - 19.3岁）的青春期女孩（n = 109）。80%为非裔美国人，20%为白人。
大多数女孩报告称她们的父母与自己的男朋友有过某种接触（当面或通过电话）。13名女孩报告称她们的父母不太了解自己的男朋友，40名报告称父母对男朋友有所了解，56名报告称父母很了解自己的男朋友。年龄、种族和性经历与父母对男朋友的了解程度无关。与男朋友交往时间更长、认为他们的关系会持续更久、更满意、更有可能向男朋友透露私人信息且更有可能认为父母很了解自己男朋友的女孩。
这些结果初步描述了女孩对父母与自己男朋友关系的看法。了解如何利用这些父母与男朋友关系的信息来促进青春期女孩建立健康（心理和生理方面）的关系非常重要。
