Previous studies indicate that adolescents whose parents talk to them about sex tend to be less sexually active and more likely to use an effective means of contraception. This study sought to determine the relationship between parent-child communication about sex and young adolescents' reproductive and contraceptive knowledge and sexual attitudes. Twenty-two 12- to 14-year-olds and their parents completed sexual-knowledge, sexual-attitude, and contraceptive-choice questionnaires. Families were divided into high-communication and low-communication groups. There were no significant differences in the sexual knowledge, attitudes, or contraceptive choices of the children in the two groups, but the correlation between parents' and children's sexual attitudes in the high-communication group was significantly higher than that of the low-communication group. Although this was a correlational study, it seems likely that the similarity in sexual values was the result of parent-child discussion about sex.
先前的研究表明，父母与他们谈论性话题的青少年往往性活动较少，且更有可能采用有效的避孕手段。本研究旨在确定亲子间关于性的沟通与青少年的生殖和避孕知识以及性态度之间的关系。22名12至14岁的青少年及其父母完成了性知识、性态度和避孕选择问卷。家庭被分为高沟通组和低沟通组。两组儿童在性知识、态度或避孕选择方面没有显著差异，但高沟通组中父母与孩子的性态度之间的相关性明显高于低沟通组。尽管这是一项相关性研究，但性价值观的相似性似乎是亲子间关于性话题讨论的结果。
