The present study examined the link between the emotional context of sexual situations and sexual risk, specifically by examining the relationship of teens' recall of their affective states prior to sex with their sexual risk behaviors and attitudes. Adolescents (ages 13-19) attending therapeutic schools due to emotional and behavioral difficulties (n = 247) completed audio computer-assisted self-interviews regarding sexual behavior, including ratings of their emotions prior to last sexual activity. Positive emotions were most commonly endorsed (43-57 % of participants), however, significant proportions (8-23 %) also endorsed negative emotions prior to last sex. Both positive and negative emotions were significantly related to risk attitudes and behavior in regression analyses. The affective contexts of sexual experiences may be important predictors of risk in adolescence.
本研究考察了性情境的情感背景与性风险之间的联系,具体而言,通过研究青少年对性行为之前情感状态的回忆与其性风险行为和态度之间的关系来进行考察。因情绪和行为问题而就读于治疗学校的青少年(年龄在13 - 19岁之间,n = 247)完成了关于性行为的音频计算机辅助自我访谈,包括对他们上次性行为之前情绪的评分。最常被认可的是积极情绪(43 - 57%的参与者),然而,相当比例(8 - 23%)的参与者也认可上次性行为之前的消极情绪。在回归分析中,积极情绪和消极情绪均与风险态度和行为显著相关。性经历的情感背景可能是青少年性风险的重要预测因素。
