The present study examined the prevalence, changes, and demographic as well as psychosocial correlates of sexual behavior and intention to engage in sexual behavior in early adolescents in Hong Kong, with sexual behavior indexed by sexual intercourse.
Three waves of longitudinal data on sexual intercourse, intention to engage in sexual intercourse, family functioning, and positive youth development were collected from 28 secondary schools in Hong Kong.
There were significant influences of grade and gender on adolescent sexual behavior or intention to engage in sexual behavior. Significant main effects of immigration status on sexual behavior were also found. While no effect of family economic background was found, effect of family intactness existed for sexual behavior. Family functioning and positive youth development at Grade 7 were negatively associated with students' sexual behavior and intention to engage in sexual behavior at Grade 9.
Grade, gender, immigration status, and family intactness were related to sexual behavior and/or intention to engage in sexual behavior in junior secondary school students. Promoting positive youth development and family functioning could serve as protective factors to reduce sexual behavior and intention to engage in sexual behavior in Chinese early adolescents in Hong Kong.
本研究调查了香港青少年早期性行为及其发生性行为意愿的患病率、变化情况、人口统计学特征以及社会心理相关因素,性行为以性交作为指标。
从香港28所中学收集了关于性交、发生性交意愿、家庭功能和青少年积极发展的三轮纵向数据。
年级和性别对青少年性行为或发生性行为的意愿有显著影响。还发现移民身份对性行为有显著的主效应。虽然未发现家庭经济背景有影响,但家庭完整性对性行为有影响。七年级时的家庭功能和青少年积极发展与九年级时学生的性行为及发生性行为的意愿呈负相关。
年级、性别、移民身份和家庭完整性与初中生的性行为和/或发生性行为的意愿有关。促进青少年积极发展和家庭功能可作为保护因素,以减少香港中国青少年早期的性行为及发生性行为的意愿。
