Book excerpt: Adolescents in psychiatric treatment are especially vulnerable to engage in sexual behavior that puts them at risk of HIV. They are more likely than other teens to be sexually active, more likely to have multiple partners, and less likely to use condoms (Arrufo, Gottlieb, Webb, & Neville, 1994; Brown, Danovsky et al., 1997; DiClemente & Ponton, 1993; Donenberg et al., 2001). Thus, understanding the factors related to high-risk sexual behavior among adolescents in psychiatric care is an important step in developing prevention and intervention programs to impede the spread of HIV among teenagers. Because adolescent sexual behavior takes place in a psychosocial context that includes family, partner, and intrapsychic influences, this study assessed links between parent-teen sexual communication, adolescent attitudes about negotiating risk situations with partners, and risky sexual behavior. Parent-teen communication about sex and HIV-risk was assessed through a videotaped discussion of fictional vignettes coded by a diverse team of raters. Adolescent partner negotiation attitudes and risky sexual behavior were obtained through self-report. Latent variable Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) tested a model linking three dimensions of parent-teen communication quality (positive quality, negative quality, instrumental quality) indirectly to adolescent sexual risk-taking through association with adolescents' attitudes about negotiating sexual situations with partners. An alternate model including direct links between parent communication and risky sexual behavior was also tested. Multiple regressions tested the moderating effects of age, gender, ethnicity, and symptoms of depression and conduct disorder. Results indicated that partner negotiation attitudes were negatively associated with sexual risk-taking, but parent-teen communication was not associated with partner negotiation attitudes or with risky sex. The relationship between partner negotiation attitudes and risky sex was only significant for older teens, and positive parent-teen communication was associated with increased sexual risk-taking for teens with lower symptoms of depression. Findings from this study support implementation of interventions to strengthen partner negotiation skills and attitudes among teens in psychiatric treatment. Findings also suggest that the relationship between parent-teen communication quality and risky sex may not exist or may be different for families affected by psychiatric problems.

This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romantic relationship formation and the engagement in sexual behaviors are normative and salient developmental tasks for adolescents and young adults. These developmental tasks are increasingly viewed from an ecological perspective, thus as strongly embedded in different social contexts, including the proximal social domains of parents, peers, and partners. This volume brings together seven recent empirical studies on adolescents’ and young adults’ romantic relationships and sexuality in the context of relationships with parents, peers, and partners. In this editorial introduction, we describe two important recent changes in the theoretical perspectives on emerging romantic relationships and sexual activity: from risky behaviors to normative tasks, and from individual to contextualized processes. We then discuss recent advances in empirical research on romantic relationships and sexuality of adolescents and young adults. After that, we review the seven studies in this volume, and discuss the contributions of these studies to the existing literature. Finally, we discuss directions for future research regarding how to further incorporate the interrelational perspective in empirical research on these topics, and how to bridge the gap between the research fields on romantic relationships and sexuality. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Developmental Psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent sexual behavior is at the forefront of social science research because it is central to a number of social and medical issues; it remains a major public concern. Underlying factors that influence adolescent sexual behavior are investigated within a sociological framework. Aspects of sexuality are explored through the application of self-control theory which posits that parents are responsible for development of self-control in their children, and that the level of self-control determines the propensity to engage in risk-related behavior. It is hypothesized that adolescent perceptions of parental warmth and control influence adolescent level of self-control; that level of self-control influences engagement in risk-taking behavior; and that risk-taking behavior influences whether or not adolescents feel they are at risk for acquiring STDs. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study employs structural equation modeling using LISREL. Results showed adolescent level of self-control influences risk-taking behavior, and that engagement in risk-taking behavior does influence adolescent perception of risk for acquiring STDs. The findings are of great value for primary and secondary educators, public officials and policy makers, guidance counselors, parents or other concerned family members, and even for adolescents.

Book excerpt: The present study presents a newly adapted measure of participant reported indirect parental sexual communication. Undergraduate psychology students (N=297) were given an online survey which was utilized to investigate the relationship between participant reported indirect parental sexual communication and self-reported risky adolescent sexual behavior. This relationship was investigated to determine if it is mediated by adolescent perception of parental attitudes and whether various demographic variables act as moderators. The goal of the study was to begin to clarify the influence of participant perceived indirect parental sexual communication on risky adolescent sexual behavior so that interventions to reduce risk may be developed in the future.
Download or read book Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Childbearing written by Laurie Schwab Zabin and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1993 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of adolescent sexual behavior and childbearing at once entails multiple issues related to sexual activity, development, and parenting--each with its own sweeping consequences. Adolescent Sexual Behavior and Childbearing integrates current findings to provide a comprehensive approach to this topic by examining research from diverse perspectives. Discussions of the biological, sociocultural, and interpersonal forces and influences impinging on adolescents are thoughtfully delivered--and patterns of sexual activity, contraceptive use, abortion, single-parenthood, adolescent relationships, and prenatal care are carefully delineated. Interventions to prevent adolescent pregnancy are also provided, making this a resource that yields a powerful statement of the issues for research and social policy. "This is a book that should find a place in the working libraries of all persons interested in adolescent sexuality and pregnancy prevention." --Journal of Perinatology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nexus between the digital revolution and adolescent sexual behavior has posed significant challenges to mental health practitioners, attorneys, and educators. These digital technologies may facilitate dangerous behaviors and serious consequences for some youth. Adolescent Sexual Development in the Digital Age considers adolescent sexual behavior in both clinical and legal contexts and provides a basis for clinicians, legal professionals, educators, policy makers, parents and the general public to understand the impact that technology has on human growth and development. The book's contributing authors are leading authorities in adolescent development, law, and ethics, fostering an interdisciplinary dialogue within the text. New technology poses many opportunities for both normal and risky sexual behavior in youth; including "sexting," social networking, cyber-sexual harassment, commercial exploitation of children, and child pornography. Beyond just cataloging the various technologies impacting sexual behavior, this volume offers guidance and strategies for addressing the issues created by the digital age.
Download or read book Parental Influence on Adolescent Sexual Behavior written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents are central to adolescents' lives and extensive research shows that parents can influence adolescent and young adults' sexual decision-making in positive ways. However, the ability of interventions to help parents influence their children's sexual health has been modest. In many cases, interventions for parents have not been guided by theory or strong research and many interventions for parents are based on only a general sense that more communication between parents and their children on topics related to sexuality is helpful. Currently, millions of dollars in public funding in the United States are designated for programs to reduce teen pregnancy and prevent sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, many foundations and individuals contribute significant funds to organizations that implement programs that strive to improve adolescent sexual health. Increasingly, there is an interest in including program components for parents in order to help them to positively influence their teens' sexual decision-making.

Download or read book Parent adolescent Relationships written by Brian K. Barber and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ten chapters that make up this volume not only cover a broad range of key substantive issues in adolescent research (e.g., ego, development, identity formation, self-esteem, pubertal development, cognitive development, deviant behavior, religiosity, and academic achievement), but as a whole they illustrate some of the key theoretical and methodological trends occuring in parent-adolescent research. Several of the chapters consider the interface between components of the family environment (e.g., the marital and parental systems) or between the family and other social contexts (e.g., peers, school, religion). Methodologically, this set of chapters give an interesting sampling of the variability in design and data analysis used in parent-adolescent studies. Designs include both cross-sectional and longitudinal survey, observation, and case study. This volume should be useful to scholars, graduate students, and professionals interested in adolescent development and behavior in the context of the family and other social environments.
