This study examined whether older siblings influence early adolescent girls' sexual socialization. Participants were 180 girls, 12 to 14-years-old, from predominantly ethnic minority backgrounds. They completed a battery of interviewer-administered measures assessing a range of sexual cognitions and romantic and sexual behaviors. As predicted, compared with other girls, girls with older brothers placed greater value in becoming a parent, had lower levels of sexual responsivity or interest, and reported smaller age discrepancies between themselves and their partners for their first romantic kiss. Regardless of sibling sex, having older siblings was associated with more restrictive sexual cognitions and behaviors. Findings are interpreted in the context of sexual script theory.
本研究探讨了年长的兄弟姐妹是否会影响青春期早期女孩的性社会化。研究对象为180名年龄在12至14岁之间、主要来自少数族裔背景的女孩。她们完成了一系列由访谈者实施的测量，以评估一系列性认知以及浪漫和性行为。正如所预测的那样，与其他女孩相比，有哥哥的女孩更看重成为母亲，性反应能力或兴趣水平较低，并且报告说自己初吻对象与自己的年龄差更小。无论兄弟姐妹的性别如何，有年长的兄弟姐妹都与更具限制性的性认知和行为相关。研究结果在性脚本理论的背景下进行了解释。
