A biosocial model of the effects of early adolescent testosterone levels and religiosity on adolescent males' sexual attitudes and activity over a 3-year period was examined. Using panel data for approximately 100 boys who were 12.5/13.0 years old at study entry, significant additive effects of free testosterone and frequency of attendance at religious services were demonstrated on the transition to first intercourse and other aspects of sexual behaviour and attitudes. No interactive effects of the two predictors were found. Boys with higher free testosterone levels at study entry who never or infrequently attended religious services were the most sexually active and had the most permissive attitudes. Boys with lower free testosterone who attended services once a week or more were the least active and reported the least permissive attitudes. For some behaviours, differences between free testosterone/attendance groups increased over time, resulting in substantial behavioural differences by the final round of measurement 3 years later.
研究了一种生物社会模型，该模型探讨了青少年早期睾酮水平和宗教虔诚度对青少年男性在3年期间性态度和性行为的影响。利用大约100名在研究开始时年龄为12.5/13.0岁男孩的面板数据，研究表明游离睾酮和参加宗教仪式的频率对首次性交的转变以及性行为和态度的其他方面具有显著的累加效应。未发现这两个预测因素的交互作用。在研究开始时游离睾酮水平较高且从不或很少参加宗教仪式的男孩性活动最为频繁，态度也最为宽容。游离睾酮水平较低且每周参加一次或更多宗教仪式的男孩性活动最少，态度也最不宽容。对于某些行为，游离睾酮/参加宗教仪式组之间的差异随时间增加，导致在3年后最后一轮测量时出现显著的行为差异。
