This book was released on 2018 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to examine generational status differences in the longitudinal associations between early parent-child sex communication, dating behaviors, and subsequent sex initiation, as mediated by perceived peer norms, attitudes, and intentions among Latina/o adolescents. Using data from the Healthy PassagesTM project, Latina girls (n = 879) and Latino boys (n = 885) who were identified as 1st- (18%), 2nd- (58%), and 3rd- (24%) immigrant generational status reported on their dating behaviors and parent-child communication about sex at 5th grade (M age = 11.12), their perceived peer norms, attitudes, and intentions regarding sex at 7th grade (M age = 13.11), and if they had initiated sexual intercourse at 10th grade (M age = 16.06). Third-generation Latina girls were more likely than 1st- and 2nd-generation Latinas to have initiated sexual intercourse by 10th grade. Dating behaviors had a positive association with sex initiation for all generational status groups among Latino boys, but only among 1st-generation Latina girls. Moreover, mediating decision-making processes of peer norms, attitudes, and intentions differed for each group. Results demonstrate that pre-adolescent behaviors appear to have long-term influence on an adolescents' sexual behaviors. Acculturation differences may contribute to different ways in which adolescents decide to engage in sexual intercourse based on previous dating experience.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantity and quality of parent-adolescent sexual communication has been suggested as the best predictor on adolescent sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model based on the Parent-Based Expansion of the Theory of Planned Behavior (PETPB) examining relationships between selected parental, adolescent and cultural variables and Latino adolescents' intentions to engage in sexual behavior. This study used a cross-sectional correlational design based on a secondary data analysis of 130 Latino parent and adolescent dyads. Regression and path analysis procedures were used to test seven research hypotheses and the results demonstrated partial support for the PETPB theory. For example, parent familism and parent knowledge about pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease were significantly associated with parents' attitudes toward sexual communication with their adolescents. Adolescent knowledge about pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease was significantly associated with higher levels of adolescents' attitudes and subjective norms about sexual communication with parents. Only the predictor of adolescents' attitudes toward having sex in the next 3 months was significantly associated with adolescents' intentions to have sex in the next 3 months. Findings suggested that girls who reported higher levels of parent-adolescent sexual communication were less likely to report favorable attitudes about having sex in the next 3 months; while, boys who reported higher levels parent-adolescent sexual communication were more likely to report positive attitudes to initiate sex in the next 3 months. The present study contributed to filling some of the gaps identified in the review of existing literature such as analyzing adolescents' and parents' reports of parent-adolescent general communication, sexual communication, and comfort with sexual communication, sample of parent/adolescent PETPB theory with and testing the Latino dyads living in the United States. Future studies should continue to explore the influence of parental communication on Latino adolescent sexual behavior based on adolescent gender.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the relationship between mother-adolescent sexual communication and adolescents' engagement of sexual behavior among a sample of 2,669 European American female adolescents, ages 13 to 18 years, and their mothers, from the first Wave of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Communication was assessed by the frequency that mothers discussed the negative consequences of intercourse with their daughters, one year prior to engagement of sexual risk. Additional family factors including mothers' knowledge of adolescent dating, family structure, and socioeconomic status were examined on the effectiveness of sexual communication and pregnancy risk. In addition to maternal influence, this study acknowledged the importance of adolescent predictors on sexual risk, including adolescents' dating experience, decision making, and awareness of the negative consequences of sexual intercourse. This study also determined if decision making/awareness of sexual consequences mediated the relationship between communication and pregnancy risk. Finally, the moderating effects of adolescents' age and mother-daughter closeness were examined in the associations between communication and sexual risk, and between decision making/awareness and sexual risk. Sexual communication influenced engagement of sexual risk. However, contrary to the hypothesis, communication around sexual risk contributed to adolescents' increased engagement of intercourse, and was ineffective in increasing condom use. Regarding adolescent predictors, decision making and awareness of sexual consequences decreased the likelihood of sexual risk, and decision-making partially mediated the relationship between communication and intercourse. There was no moderation of age or mother-daughter relationship quality in the above associations, indicating that mother and adolescent predictors had similar effects for younger and older adolescents, and across groups of mothers/adolescents who reported low and high levels of closeness. These findings suggest that discussing the negative consequences of intercourse does not prevent adolescents' engagement in sexual behavior, and adolescents may interpret this style of communication as controlling and dramatic, and rebel against parents' advice by becoming sexually active. Furthermore, adolescents' cognitive skills and ability to recognize consequences of sex played an important role in deterring sexual engagement. Thus, adolescent predictors may be more of a protective factor against engagement in sexual risk above and beyond that of maternal influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent sexual education and health promotions have emphasized the importance of parent-child sexual communication in healthy sexual development of youth. By using effective parent-adolescent sexual communication, parents can provide their adolescent children with more accurate knowledge about sexuality and help them shape healthy sexual attitudes that might lead to wise decision-making during adolescence. In addition, effective parent-adolescent sexual communication serves as an influential factor in buffering adolescents' risky sexual behaviors. However, ineffective parent-adolescent sexual communication is likely prevalent among families as parents might face many barriers in initiating and discussing sexuality-related topics. Limited or no sexual communication may significantly undermine parents' potential to be optimal influencers of their adolescent's healthy sexual development. The increasing usage of smartphones and mobile apps among the U.S. adults gives unprecedented opportunities to deliver parent-based adolescent sexual health interventions to a wider and more diverse population. Guided by research, as well as Urie Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory of human development, this report provides a research-based foundation on which to build a smartphone app, Parent Sex Talk 12-14, providing sexual health-related materials to parents of early adolescents aged 12- to 14-years-old to strengthen parent-early adolescent sexual communication.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender norms shape our sexual experiences because they provide us with information about the appropriate behavior for men and women in social interactions (Allgeier and McCormick, 1983). Family is one of the places where we first learn about gender norms. Research on youth sexuality shows the importance of family on the sexuality of individuals through paths such as parent-child communication, parents' gender attitudes, parental surveillance, etc. However, less is known about other practices in the family, such as gender dynamics, or gender role practices, that could also affect the sexuality of young individuals. The aim of this dissertation is to analyze whether the sexual division of decision-making power and labor (gender dynamics) in which vii youngsters were raised, have any effect on their age at sexual debut, and their use of condoms as a contraceptive method. The source of information is the National Survey of Youth 2000 for Mexico. A discrete time hazard model is used in the analysis of age at sexual debut and a logistic regression was performed to analyze condom use. Results show that egalitarian gender dynamics have effects that differ by socioeconomic status and gender. The most remarkable findings are that shared decision-making power decreases the likelihood of an early sexual debut among girls with low socioeconomic status, and increases the likelihood of condom use among girls with high socioeconomic status.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Teens in the United States have some of the highest rates of pregnancy, childbearing, and abortion among developed countries. Teens suffer in a variety of ways when they become pregnant and bear children. To further understand the sexual behaviors of teens, I examine the effects of parenting style on adolescent (ages 14-17) sexual initiation and contraceptive use at first sex. Four types of parenting styles are investigated: authoritative, uninvolved, permissive, and authoritarian. Adolescents of authoritarian parents were found to be more likely to initiate sex by age 17 than adolescents of authoritative parents. Other parenting behaviors are better predictors of an adolescent initiation. These include: monitoring of the adolescent, amount of autonomy of the adolescent and whether an adolescent turns to her/his parent with problems. These same parental behaviors do not predict whether an adolescent who initiated sex used a form of contraception at first sex.
