83 African-American and White male and female adolescents, ages 16-20 years old, were asked to list preferred partner qualities and reasons to have or not have sex as measures of their perceptions of antecedents of sex. High frequency items were placed on cards and sorted separately by an additional four gender and racial subsamples (n = 79). Data were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. Health-related antecedents to sex were not predominant in responses. Both African-American female and male adolescents mentioned "nice body" as criteria for evaluating partner attractiveness and associated this with good looks, whereas White adolescents did not mention "nice body". African-American male adolescents associated love relationships with marriage and parenthood whereas others did not. African-American and White male adolescents indicated sexual arousal as a reason for sex, whereas African-American and White female adolescents did not, with African-American male adolescents associating sexual arousal with an attractive partner and White male adolescents associating sexual arousal with drinking. Implications for sexually transmitted disease prevention are considered.
83名年龄在16至20岁之间的非裔美国人和白人青少年（包括男性和女性）被要求列出理想伴侣的特质以及发生或不发生性行为的原因，以此作为他们对性行为前因认知的衡量标准。高频项目被写在卡片上，并由另外四个性别和种族子样本（n = 79）分别进行分类。数据采用多维尺度分析和聚类分析进行分析。与健康相关的性行为前因在回答中并不占主导地位。非裔美国女性和男性青少年都提到“身材好”是评估伴侣吸引力的标准，并将其与美貌联系起来，而白人青少年没有提到“身材好”。非裔美国男性青少年将恋爱关系与婚姻和为人父母联系起来，而其他人则没有。非裔美国和白人男性青少年表示性唤起是发生性行为的一个原因，而非裔美国和白人女性青少年则没有，非裔美国男性青少年将性唤起与有吸引力的伴侣联系起来，白人男性青少年将性唤起与饮酒联系起来。文中考虑了对性传播疾病预防的启示。
