This study determined if three selected sexual attitudes of parents were related to similar sexual attitudes of their college daughters or sons and to five sexual behaviors. Only never married, college freshmen (N = 83) with both parents participating were utilized. A self-report questionnaire was administered to students at a large midwestern university and distributed to and returned from parents by mail. The Pearson product-moment correlation and the stepwise and multiple regressions were used to test four hypotheses. Mothers' sexual attitudes had a stronger relationship than fathers' attitudes with offspring sexual attitudes and behaviors, particularly for daughters. Generally, mothers with the most positive attitudes toward sexual-self had daughters who were more responsive relative to personal sexual expression (masturbation frequency and orgasmic experience), but who were not any more involved heterosexually (frequency of coitus and number of coital partners). Fathers' sexual attitudes had little relationship to offspring sexual attitudes and behavior. None of the male students' sexual behaviors were related strongly to parent sexual attitudes. Implications for school and parent sexuality education programs are briefly discussed.
本研究确定了父母的三种特定性态度是否与他们读大学的女儿或儿子的相似性态度以及五种性行为有关。仅选用了父母双方均参与、从未结婚的大学新生（N = 83）。在中西部一所大型大学对学生进行了自填式问卷调查，并通过邮寄方式分发给父母并由其寄回。使用皮尔逊积差相关、逐步回归和多元回归来检验四个假设。母亲的性态度与子女的性态度和行为的关系比父亲的态度更强，尤其是对女儿而言。一般来说，对性自我态度最积极的母亲，其女儿在个人性表达方面（自慰频率和性高潮体验）反应更强，但在异性性行为方面（性交频率和性伴侣数量）并没有更多参与。父亲的性态度与子女的性态度和行为关系不大。男学生的性行为均与父母的性态度没有强烈关联。文中简要讨论了对学校和家长性教育项目的启示。
