Feelings of romanticism and self-esteem among pregnant adolescents, adolescent mothers, and a control group of nonpregnant, nonparenting adolescents were investigated. The Bachman Self-Esteem Scale (Bachman, O'Malley, & Johnston, 1978) and the Dean Romanticism Scale (Dean, 1961) were distributed to 649 U.S. female adolescents--255 pregnant adolescents, 121 adolescent mothers, and 273 teenagers in the control group. For romanticism, the results indicated a significant main effect for group (pregnant teens, teen mothers, and a control group consisting of nonpregnant, nonparenting teenagers) and ethnicity (White, Hispanic, African American, and Asian) but not for age (13 to 15 years and 16 to 19 years). The pregnant teens and teen mothers thus had a higher degree of romanticism than the control group did. For self-esteem, there was a significant main effect for race, but not for group or for age. This main effect was qualified by a significant interaction between ethnicity and age.
对怀孕青少年、青少年母亲以及由未怀孕、未育青少年组成的对照组的浪漫主义情感和自尊进行了调查。向649名美国女性青少年发放了巴赫曼自尊量表（巴赫曼、奥马利和约翰斯顿，1978年）和迪恩浪漫主义量表（迪恩，1961年），其中包括255名怀孕青少年、121名青少年母亲以及273名对照组青少年。对于浪漫主义，结果显示群体（怀孕青少年、青少年母亲以及由未怀孕、未育青少年组成的对照组）和种族（白人、西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚裔）存在显著主效应，但年龄（13至15岁和16至19岁）不存在显著主效应。因此，怀孕青少年和青少年母亲的浪漫主义程度高于对照组。对于自尊，种族存在显著主效应，但群体和年龄不存在显著主效应。这种主效应因种族和年龄之间的显著交互作用而有所限定。
