Maternal and paternal psychological control, peer attitudes, and the interaction of psychological control and peer attitudes at age 13 were examined as predictors of risky sexual behavior before age 16 in a community sample of 181 youth followed from age 13 to 16. Maternal psychological control moderated the link between peer attitudes and sexual behavior. Peer acceptance of early sex predicted greater risky sexual behaviors, for teens whose mothers engaged in high levels of psychological control. Paternal psychological control demonstrated the same moderating effect for girls; for boys, however, high levels of paternal control predicted risky sex regardless of peer attitudes. Results are consistent with the theory that peer influences do not replace parental influences with regard to adolescent sexual behavior; rather, parental practices continue to serve an important role either directly forecasting sexual behavior or moderating the link between peer attitudes and sexual behavior.
在一项对181名从13岁到16岁进行追踪的社区青少年样本中，研究了13岁时父母的心理控制、同伴态度以及心理控制与同伴态度的相互作用，将其作为16岁之前危险性行为的预测因素。母亲的心理控制调节了同伴态度与性行为之间的联系。对于母亲进行高度心理控制的青少年，同伴对过早性行为的接受预示着更高的危险性行为。父亲的心理控制对女孩表现出相同的调节作用；然而，对于男孩来说，无论同伴态度如何，父亲的高度控制都预示着危险性行为。研究结果与以下理论一致：在青少年性行为方面，同伴影响并不能取代父母的影响；相反，父母的行为方式继续在直接预测性行为或调节同伴态度与性行为之间的联系方面发挥重要作用。
