This study examined three key issues related to the effects of sisters' and girlfriends' sexual and childbearing behavior on early adolescent girls' sexual outcomes. Subjects were 455 girls from predominantly minority racial backgrounds. Results indicated that number of sexually active girlfriends, number of sexually active sisters, and presence of an adolescent childbearing sister were positively associated with permissive sexual attitudes, positive intentions for future sexual activity, and a greater likelihood of being a nonvirgin. The strength of these relationships did not vary by race, but there was a greater presence of permissive social influences for African American girls than for nonblack girls. Results from multiple hierarchical regression analyses indicated that having both many sexually active girlfriends and an adolescent childbearing sister had particularly strong effects on permissive sexual attitudes and a nonvirgin status.
本研究探讨了与姐妹及女性朋友的性行为和生育行为对青春期早期女孩性结果的影响相关的三个关键问题。研究对象是455名主要来自少数族裔背景的女孩。结果表明，有性活动的女性朋友数量、有性活动的姐妹数量以及有生育子女的青春期姐妹与宽容的性态度、未来性活动的积极意愿以及非处女的可能性增加呈正相关。这些关系的强度不因种族而异，但非裔美国女孩比非黑人女孩更容易受到宽容的社会影响。多重分层回归分析结果表明，有许多有性活动的女性朋友和有生育子女的青春期姐妹对宽容的性态度和非处女状态有特别强烈的影响。
