The current study examined 14 waves of data derived from a large, community-based study of the sexual behavior of impoverished youth between 12 and 17 years of age residing in the Deep South. We used multilevel linear modeling to identify ecological predictors of intercourse frequency and number of sexual partners among gender-specific subsamples. Results indicated that predictors of adolescent sexual behavior differed by both type of sexual behavior and gender. For males, age, maternal warmth, parental knowledge, curfew, self-worth, and sense of community predicted intercourse frequency, while age, parental knowledge, curfew, self-worth, friend support, and sense of community were significantly associated with having multiple sexual partners. Among females, age, curfew, and self-worth exerted significant effects on intercourse frequency, while age, parental knowledge, curfew, and self-worth exerted significant effects on having multiple sexual partners. Implications and future directions are discussed.
本研究考察了来自一项大型社区研究的14组数据，该研究针对居住在美国最南部地区、年龄在12至17岁之间的贫困青少年的性行为展开。我们运用多层线性模型，在按性别划分的子样本中确定性交频率和性伴侣数量的生态预测因素。结果表明，青少年性行为的预测因素因性行为类型和性别而异。对于男性而言，年龄、母亲的温暖程度、父母的知识水平、宵禁、自我价值感和社区归属感可预测性交频率，而年龄、父母的知识水平、宵禁、自我价值感、朋友的支持以及社区归属感与拥有多个性伴侣显著相关。在女性中，年龄、宵禁和自我价值感对性交频率有显著影响，而年龄、父母的知识水平、宵禁和自我价值感对拥有多个性伴侣有显著影响。本文还讨论了研究的意义和未来方向。
