As adolescents develop intimate relationships skills, they might change romantic partners often. Little is known about this developmental phenomenon.
The goal was to determine the frequency of non-exclusive romantic relationships in girls, the variables associated with non-exclusive relationships, and the variables associated with having sexual intercourse in a non-exclusive relationship.
Girls (12-15 years of age) participated in a longitudinal study (3 y, 7 visits) of romantic relationships.
Seventy-two of 160 girls had a non-exclusive relationship, and of these, 23 girls had intercourse in an outside relationship. Younger age, belief that the boyfriend had an outside relationship, and less parental indirect monitoring was associated with the girl having an outside relationship. A longer time being sexually experienced and less direct parental monitoring was associated with having intercourse in the outside relationship.
Non-exclusivity in adolescence is common but does not always include sexual intercourse. Healthcare providers can address non-exclusivity with adolescents directly.
随着青少年发展亲密关系技巧，他们可能频繁更换恋爱对象。关于这一发展现象，人们了解甚少。
本研究旨在确定女孩中非排他性恋爱关系的发生频率、与非排他性恋爱关系相关的变量，以及在非排他性恋爱关系中发生性行为相关的变量。
12至15岁的女孩参与了一项关于恋爱关系的纵向研究（为期3年，共7次访视）。
160名女孩中有72人处于非排他性恋爱关系，其中23名女孩在恋爱关系之外发生了性行为。年龄较小、认为男友有恋爱关系之外的伴侣以及父母间接监管较少与女孩处于恋爱关系之外有关。有较长时间的性经历以及父母直接监管较少与在恋爱关系之外发生性行为有关。
青少年恋爱关系中的非排他性很常见，但并非总是涉及性行为。医疗保健提供者可直接与青少年探讨非排他性恋爱关系的问题。
