Investigates parenting practices and the reported sexual and delinquent behaviors among Thai adolescents, by focusing on the difference between sons and daughters.
Data were derived from 420 families whose adolescents aged 13-14 were randomly selected from seven districts in Bangkok using the probability proportional to size (PPS) method. Interviews were conducted with one parent and one adolescent.
Female adolescents reported higher levels of parental monitoring, parental rules, communication about sex, and parental disapproval of sex, as compared to males. There were no gender differences in the reported sexual and delinquent behaviors among the adolescents. For males, high levels of parental monitoring, greater perception of parent disapproval of sex, and being raised by authoritative parents were associated with less delinquent behaviors. Among females, parental monitoring and parental closeness served as protective factors against sexual and delinquent behaviors.
The findings from the present study point to the importance of promoting family institution and parents' childrearing. These findings should be useful for developing a body of knowledge and understanding on adolescent rearing among Thai parents.
通过关注儿子和女儿之间的差异,调查泰国青少年的养育方式以及所报告的性和犯罪行为。
数据来自420个家庭,这些家庭中13 - 14岁的青少年是使用规模比例概率抽样(PPS)方法从曼谷的七个区随机选取的。对一名家长和一名青少年进行了访谈。
与男性青少年相比,女性青少年报告的父母监督、父母规定、关于性的沟通以及父母对性的不赞成程度更高。青少年所报告的性和犯罪行为不存在性别差异。对于男性而言,高水平的父母监督、更强的父母对性不赞成的认知以及由权威型父母抚养与较少的犯罪行为相关。在女性中,父母监督和亲子亲密关系是预防性和犯罪行为的保护因素。
本研究结果表明促进家庭制度和父母养育的重要性。这些发现对于积累泰国父母在青少年养育方面的知识和理解应是有用的。
