In this study, the Dean Romanticism Scale and the Bachman Self-esteem Scale were administered to 121 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 19 in Southern California to investigate their degree of romanticism and self-esteem. The study also explored whether there was any relationship between the dependent variables of romanticism and self-esteem and ten independent variables--age, race, place of residence during pregnancy, age when first sexual intercourse occurred, age when pregnancy occurred, incidence of sexual abuse, incidence of abortion, adoption considerations, whether the subject was currently sexually active, and whether the teenager planned to have a child with the father of the baby. The results indicated that two variables were significantly related to feelings of romanticism--adoption considerations and whether the adolescent planned to have a child with the baby's father. In addition, two variables were significantly related to self-esteem--the incidence of sexual abuse and the incidence of abortion.
在本研究中，对南加州121名年龄在12至19岁之间的青少年进行了迪恩浪漫主义量表和巴克曼自尊量表测试，以调查他们的浪漫主义程度和自尊水平。该研究还探讨了浪漫主义和自尊这两个因变量与十个自变量之间是否存在任何关系，这十个自变量分别是：年龄、种族、孕期居住地、首次发生性行为的年龄、怀孕的年龄、性虐待发生率、堕胎发生率、收养考虑因素、受试者目前是否有性行为，以及该青少年是否计划与孩子的父亲生育孩子。结果表明，有两个变量与浪漫主义情感显著相关，即收养考虑因素和青少年是否计划与孩子的父亲生育孩子。此外，有两个变量与自尊显著相关，即性虐待发生率和堕胎发生率。
