Abstract

This study investigated the effect of family structure on previous dating behavior of older adolescents, and examined the relationship of family structure, family relationship variables, and personal attributes to previous dating behaviors. Data were obtained from 96 males and 81 females enrolled in human development courses at two midwestern universities; 122 were from intact, nuclear families and 55 were from nonintact families. The Dating and Courtship Behavior Questionnaire, adapted from questionnaires by Winch (1949a) and Landis (1963), was administered to subjects during regular class periods. Family structure did not have an effect on number of partners or steadies, but adolescents from nonintact households began dating at younger ages than those from intact households. Personal attributes were more often related to dating behaviors than family structure or family relationship variables. Little support was found for the proposition that dating behaviors were affected by family structure.

摘要

本研究调查了家庭结构对大龄青少年以往约会行为的影响，并考察了家庭结构、家庭关系变量和个人属性与以往约会行为之间的关系。数据来自两所中西部大学选修人类发展课程的96名男性和81名女性；其中122人来自完整的核心家庭，55人来自非完整家庭。在常规课堂期间，向受试者发放了根据温奇（1949a）和兰迪斯（1963）的问卷改编而成的《约会与求爱行为问卷》。家庭结构对伴侣数量或稳定交往对象数量没有影响，但来自非完整家庭的青少年比来自完整家庭的青少年开始约会的年龄更小。与家庭结构或家庭关系变量相比，个人属性更常与约会行为相关。关于约会行为受家庭结构影响这一观点，几乎没有得到支持。
