This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-esteem has been conceptualized as a "social vaccine". The belief is that high self-esteem can inoculate young people, against vulnerability to a wide range of social illnesses. This study gives a contribution in the understanding of the causal relation between self-esteem and sexual behaviour among American adolescents. I analyzes the impact of different levels of early self-esteem on a wide set of risky sexual behaviours. I use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and I take into account the endogeneity of self-esteem using instrumental variables methods and measuring self-esteem before sexual initiation. I find that self-esteem over a certain threshold' is a protective resource for girls, delaying the onset of sexual activity, reducing the number of occasional sexual partners and increasing the likelihood of having protected sexual encounters.

Book excerpt: The project presented reviews and reflects on the relationship between social media and mental health in adolescents, specifically the implications on self-esteem. As the current literature shows, while social media is found to have progressive qualities in being a platform that young individuals use to connect with one another and explore their identity among being a resource for connection to the world, excessive use may have implications for putting youth at risk for anxiety, depression, and a decrease in self-esteem. The purpose of this graduate project is to educate middle school students and increase their self-esteem through a seven-week program that is designed to enhance their experience with social media use and provide tactics on how to decrease the negative byproducts that may come with using social media excessively and to increase their self-esteem.

Book excerpt: Most of the studies addressing adolescent sexual behavior in America are asymmetrically focused on either one of boys and girls or one race, primarily African Americans. Studies also are small scale and ethnographic by nature. There is lack of cross-sectional studies addressing both adolescent boys and girls, and African Americans and whites making use of a wide range of variables in terms of their sexual behavior. The present study explores sexual behavior making use of a nationally representative cross-sectional (race and gender) dataset addressing both social structural and demographic variables of interest. The data analyzed by this study were collected by Add Health as the second wave of a longitudinal study of health and well being of American adolescents. This study analyzes data collected from a school based stratified sample of African American and white adolescents only (N = 2834). Eight major determinants of adolescent sexual behavior are explored. These are religiosity, self-esteem, family support, peer group involvement, school attachment, gender, race and age. Five of these variables are developed as additive scale. These scales had Cronbach's coefficient-alpha that ranged from school attachment (.994), religiosity (.993), family support (.796), and self-esteem (.714) to peer group (.309). The other three variables are race, gender, and age which are dichotomized. Dependent variable is sexual activity which is dichotomized as yes and no. Statistically significant relationships are found between school attachment and adolescent sexual behavior, peer group and sexual behavior, age and sexual behavior, family support and sexual behavior, and race and sexual behavior. But self-esteem, religiosity, and gender are found not to have significant relationship with sexual behavior. Results of logistic regression analysis reveals that only school attachment, peer group, race and age are significant predictors of sexual behavior among these adolescents. However, religiosity, self-esteem, family support, and gender are not significant predictors. Further research is recommended to take into account other contextual variables pertinent to social class, neighborhood factor, urbanicity, adolescents' attitudes towards sex, and their perception of parental attitude towards sex because the dataset did not contain them.

Download or read book Self Esteem and Adolescent Sexual Attitudes and Behavior written by Roger B. Christensen and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to determine; (1) if adolescent self-esteem is related to premarital sexual attitudes and intercourse behavior; (2) if religious affiliation and church attendance affect the relationship between adolescent self-esteem and premarital sexual attitudes and behavior. Approximately 2400 adolescents residing in California, New Mexico, and Utah comprised the sample. Adolescents who attended church services more often reported less sexually permissive attitudes and behavior than those who attended church less often. Similarly, Mormons' premarital sexual attitudes and behavior was more conservative than was the case for non-Mormon adolescents. Findings indicated that the nature of the relationship between permissiveness and self-esteem did depend on cultural norms or contexts. In the most conservative normative contexts (among Mormons and frequent church attenders) there was a negative relationship between self-esteem and sexual attitudes and sexual behavior; there was no significant relationship between self-esteem and sexual attitudes and sexual behavior among the more moderate sample groups.

Download or read book Puberty Sexuality and the Self written by Karin Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puberty, Sexuality and the Self considers the effects of puberty and teenage sexuality on adolescents. By analyzing interviews with 55 teenagers, Karin Martin finds that girls' self-esteem drops significantly more than boys' does at adolescence. While this finding is supported by previous studies, Martin picks up where these earlier studies leave off by focusing on girls' development and considering different experiences of puberty and sex as an explanation for girls' greater drop in self-esteem. Puberty, Sexuality and the Self examines voice change, breast development, shaving, expectations of sex, the decision to have sex, experiences of sex and how boys and girls manage their emotions and selves throughout all of these new experiences. Comparing boys and girls at adolescence, Martin takes a qualitative look at puberty and sexuality, supporting her theory in the words of the adolescents themselves.
