This study explored girls' sexual subjectivity as a pathway through which parental socialization influenced their emotions about past sexual experiences. A national online survey of 397 adolescent girls (M = 16.8 years) from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds (33.0% Black, 25.7% Latina, 28.0% non-Hispanic White) assessed (1) parental messaging emphasizing relational, sex-positive, gendered sex role, abstinence-only, and sex-is-taboo discourses; (2) girls' sexual subjectivity including sexual body esteem, entitlement to sexual pleasure, and perceived sexual control; and (3) positive and negative emotional reactions to sexual experiences. Sexual subjectivity fully mediated the positive effect of relational messaging on positive emotional reactions and the negative effect on negative emotional reactions. Additionally, sexual subjectivity partially mediated the positive effect of gendered sex role messaging on negative emotional reactions. This study draws critical attention to placing the psychological aspects of girls' sense of their own sexuality and the emotional components of their sexual experience at the forefront of understanding the influence of parental sexual socialization on the sexual experiences of adolescent girls.
本研究探讨了女孩的性主体性，这是一个途径，通过它，父母的社会化影响了她们对过去性经历的情绪。这项全国性的在线调查了 397 名来自不同种族/族裔背景的青少年女孩（M=16.8 岁）（33.0%黑人，25.7%拉丁裔，28.0%非西班牙裔白人），评估了（1）强调关系、性积极、性别角色、禁欲和性禁忌话语的父母信息；（2）女孩的性主体性，包括性身体自尊、性愉悦权利和感知的性控制；以及（3）对性经历的积极和消极情绪反应。性主体性完全中介了关系信息对积极情绪反应的积极影响和对消极情绪反应的消极影响。此外，性主体性部分中介了性别角色信息对消极情绪反应的积极影响。这项研究引起了人们对关注女孩对自身性行为的心理方面和性体验的情感成分的关注，这是理解父母性社会化对青少年女孩性体验影响的关键。
