The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived parental sexual communicator style and adolescent sexual behavior and information accuracy. Two hundred thirty-four college students provided data on their perceptions of parental sexual communicator style as well as self-reports of sexual behavior and knowledge across three time frames (junior high school, high school, and college). Significant relationships were found between perceived parental sexual communicator styles and sexual activity, contraceptive use, and sexual knowledge accuracy. In addition, significant differences were found between males and females on their sexual knowledge accuracy (females reported a higher level of sexual knowledge than did males). The findings are discussed, and recommendations for future research in the area of parent-adolescent sexual communication are offered.
本研究的目的是调查父母性沟通方式认知与青少年性行为及信息准确性之间的关系。234名大学生提供了他们对父母性沟通方式的认知数据,以及在三个时间段(初中、高中和大学)的性行为和知识的自我报告。研究发现,父母性沟通方式认知与性活动、避孕措施使用及性知识准确性之间存在显著关系。此外,在性知识准确性方面,男性和女性之间存在显著差异(女性报告的性知识水平高于男性)。本文对研究结果进行了讨论,并为未来在亲子性沟通领域的研究提供了建议。
