Current research in adolescent sexuality has largely focused on vaginal-penile intercourse, with less attention to noncoital
sexual activity. This study examined how maternal factors influence the transition from virginity to noncoital behavior among
White and Asian American youth who have never experienced vaginal intercourse. We conducted logistic regression analyses to
examine whether traditional maternal predictors of coital sex were important in understanding noncoital sexual activity of these two populations. Waves 1 and 2 of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were utilized.
For White Americans (n = 3,926), direct and indirect maternal factors were associated with noncoital sexual involvement: maternal support, control,
mother–child communication about sex, and adolescents’ perceptions of maternal approval of sex. In contrast, only maternal
support was associated with the onset of noncoital sexual behavior for Asian Americans (n = 611). The study underscores the need to explore culturally specific factors that may influence Asian American adolescent
noncoital sexual behaviors.

Associations among neighborhood disadvantage, maternal acculturation, parenting and conduct problems were investigated in
a sample of 444 Chinese American adolescents. Adolescents (54% female, 46% male) ranged from 12 to 15 years of age (mean age = 13.0 years).
Multilevel modeling was employed to test the hypothesis that the association between maternal acculturation and adolescents’
conduct problems could be explained by differences in mothers’ reliance on monitoring and harsh discipline. In addition, guided
by segmented assimilation theory, measures of neighborhood disadvantage were expected not only to be related to differences
in parenting, but also to moderate the effects of maternal acculturation on parenting. Results indicated that increased maternal
acculturation was related to higher levels of maternal monitoring and lower levels of harsh discipline, which, in turn, were
related to lower levels of adolescents’ conduct problems. Hierarchical linear modeling results revealed that neighborhood
disadvantage was related to lower levels of maternal monitoring. However, neighborhood disadvantage did not moderate the link
between maternal acculturation and parenting practices.

This longitudinal study examined whether supportive parenting mediates relations between parent–child differences in cultural
orientation (generational dissonance) and depressive symptoms with a sample of 451 first and second generation Chinese American
parents and adolescents (12–15 years old at time 1). Using a person-centered approach, meaningful typologies of cultural orientation
were derived for fathers, mothers, and adolescents. Overall, results provided support, though qualified, for the notion that
generational dissonance is linked to depressive symptoms through decreased supportive parenting. In general, having a parent
with a bicultural profile seemed to be most advantageous if adolescents similarly had a bicultural profile, whereas more American oriented adolescents with more Chinese oriented parents reported the least supportive parenting and most depressive symptoms. Directions for future research and
the benefits of using a person-centered approach in research of acculturation and generational dissonance are discussed.

The current study provides new information on the etiology of adolescent problem behaviors in African American youth by testing
the importance of known predictors, namely parenting measures (monitoring, support, and communication), peers, and neighborhood
characteristics across rural and non-rural developmental contexts. More specifically, the study examined whether rural versus
non-rural developmental contexts moderated the relationships between known predictors and a variety of problem behaviors (alcohol
use, drug use, delinquency, and violence). Data were collected from N = 687 rural and N = 182 non-rural African American adolescents (mean age = 15.8 years). Findings indicate that both parenting constructs and
peer deviance had significant effects on problem behaviors and that these effects were consistent across rural and non-rural
developmental contexts. The study results are discussed in terms of their implications for ecological frameworks for testing
problem behavior etiology.

Protective and risk factors associated with rates of early sexual debut and risky sexual behaviors for a sample of low-income
adolescent boys were examined using bioecological theory framed by a resiliency perspective. Protective processes examined
include a close mother–son and father–son relationship, parental monitoring and family routines, as well as the adolescent
boy’s academic achievement, expectations, and school recognition. The risk factors assessed were delinquent behaviors, if
the adolescent was born to a teenage mother, family structure, monthly family income, risky neighborhood environments, family
of origin welfare receipt, and maternal education. Waves one (1999) and two (2001) of Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study were used (N = 528; Wave 1 ages 10–14 years). Associations between early sexual debut and risky sexual behaviors with individual, family,
school, and neighborhood protective and risk factors were addressed through a series of d-probit and Ordinary Least Squares
multiple regression techniques. When protective and risk factors were addressed independently, academic achievement and parental
monitoring protected adolescent boys from early sexual debut and risky sexual behaviors while drug and alcohol use and school
problems placed them at risk for these behaviors. However, when the model is assessed together, early parental monitoring
and academic achievement were shown to protect boys’ early sexual debut and risky sexual behaviors by reducing their delinquent
behaviors, specifically early drug and alcohol use and school problems.

A large proportion of perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV) children are becoming adolescents and exploring their sexuality. This
study explored the prevalence of sexual behaviors (kissing, touching, engaging in oral sex, or having vaginal/anal intercourse)
in a sample of predominantly ethnic minority youths (N = 339; 54.1% Black and 30.4% Latino; 51% female; ages 9–16) perinatally exposed to HIV (61% HIV+). Using logistic regression,
we tested the association between sexual behavior and HIV status, demographic characteristics, and peer influences regarding
sexual behavior. PHIV youth were less likely to be sexually active. Among sexually active youth, PHIV youth were more likely
to engage in touching behavior than HIV-negative youth and were less likely to engage in penetrative sex. Youths reporting
that a greater number of their peers believed that sexually active boys were “cool” or “popular” were more likely to report
sexual behavior. The association between sexual behavior and peers believing sexually active girls were “cool” or “popular”
varied by age, gender, and HIV status. Furthermore, friends’ sexual activity was associated with sexual intercourse. Prevention
programs should strengthen messages addressing peer norms regarding sexuality, as well as address specific issues related
to adolescent HIV.

Data were obtained from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine the longitudinal association between
Asian and Pacific Islander (API) adolescents’ perceptions of maternal approval of their sexual activity and contraception
use, and four sexual outcomes during young adulthood. The study includes a nationally representative sample of 1,195 API adolescents.
Logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the associations between predictors (Wave I) and outcomes (Wave III), controlling
for covariates. API adolescents who perceived that their mothers approved of their sexual activities were more likely to have
engaged in sex before age 15, contracted HIV/Sexually Transmitted Diseases, had multiple sex partners, and paid money for
sex during young adulthood. Findings highlight the need for parent–adolescent communication and parental involvement in preventing
negative sexual health outcomes among API adolescents transitioning to young adulthood.

Previous research has explored how differential youth outcomes are associated with racial socialization and parenting style
individually, but very little work has examined whether democratic-involved parenting style bolsters the positive link between
racial messages and adolescent outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine mothers’ use of democratic-involved parenting
as a moderator of the association between racial socialization (e.g., racial pride, racial barrier, and self-worth messages)
and youth engagement. The types of engagement explored were attitudes toward class work and persistence on task. Ninety-four
African American youth (ages 11–14) reported on maternal style and socialization. As predicted, racial barrier socialization
was positively associated with engagement among adolescents who perceived their mothers to provide more involvement coupled
with opportunities for their teens to make decisions. In contrast, barrier socialization and engagement were negatively associated
among adolescents who viewed their mothers as low in democratic-involved parenting. Implications for adolescent engagement
and for research on racial socialization and democratic-involved parenting style are discussed.

Little is known about the impact of the relational context of adolescent sexual activity on depressive symptoms. The present
study examined trajectories of depressive symptoms among 6,602 adolescents (44% male, 60% White) taken from a nationally representative
study (Add Health). Sexually active youth in romantic and casual relationships were first compared to virgins and then to
each other by relational context. Longitudinal, multilevel models examined differences in the course of depressive symptoms
based on sexual activity separately by gender and age group (ages 12–14 and 15–18). Results indicated that when compared to
virgins, any differences in depressive symptoms by relational context of sex were present prior to youth’s sexual debut. The
few significant differences found between youth who had sex in romantic relationships verses those who had casual sex were
present before sexual initiation and not maintained over time, suggesting that casual sex in adolescence is not associated
with long-term risks for depressive symptoms.

The purpose of this study was to gain a clearer understanding of the relation between parents’ knowledge of their emerging-adult
children and emerging adults’ risk behaviors. Participants included 200 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and
25 (121 women, 78 men; M
age = 19.59, SD = 1.62) and both of their parents. Results revealed that knowledge of the emerging-adult child’s activities varied as a function
of parent- and child-reports, and that child outcomes associated with parental knowledge were generally positive, including
less drinking, drug use, and risky sexual behavior (although this varied as a function of reporter). The links between maternal
knowledge and lower drug and alcohol use were particularly strong in the presence of maternal closeness. Implications for
understanding the parent–child relationship during the transition to adulthood were discussed.

This study examined the cultural and developmental significance of maternal and paternal parenting processes (closeness, support, monitoring, communication, conflict, and peer approval) for measures of anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents from Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States (N=6,935). Across all cultural contexts, measures of maternal and paternal support and conflict were most consistently associated with measures of internalizing behaviors. Few differences were observed in the importance of individual parenting processes for anxiety or depression symptoms across cultures. Additionally, with the exception of maternal conflict for anxiety and depression symptoms and paternal closeness for depression symptoms, none of the parenting process dimensions differed in importance for internalizing behaviors across developmental periods (middle versus late adolescence). The investigation provides evidence of great similarity in developmental processes, both across cultural contexts and developmental periods.

Religiosity and Alcohol Use in Sexual Minority and Heterosexual Youth and Young Adults 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Despite interest in the role of religiosity in youth development and health behavior, few studies have examined these associations
in sexual minority youth. Participants (n = 11,699) who were adolescents (wave 1) and young adults (wave 3) in the Add Health survey were used to examine proximal
and distal religiosity by sexual identity group and to test group differences in associations between religiosity and alcohol
use. Sexual minorities were less likely than heterosexuals to report a current religious affiliation. In young adulthood,
heterosexual females reported significantly higher distal and proximal religiosity than heterosexual males and sexual minority
young adults. From adolescence to young adulthood, religiosity in all three sexual identity groups (heterosexual, bisexual,
gay/lesbian) significantly declined, with the largest effects found for the sexual minority groups. Distal and proximal religiosity
scores were significantly associated with less alcohol use and less binge drinking among heterosexuals, but not among sexual
minorities. Future studies of sexual minority youth and their religious contexts are suggested.

Anecdotal evidence suggests an increase in entitled attitudes and behaviors of youth in school and college settings. Using
a newly developed scale to assess “academic entitlement” (AE), a construct that includes expectations of high grades for modest
effort and demanding attitudes towards teachers, this research is the first to investigate the phenomenon systematically.
In two separate samples of ethnically diverse college students comprised largely of East and Southeast Asian American, followed
by Caucasians, Latinos, and other groups (total N = 839, age range 18–25 years), we examined the personality, parenting, and motivational correlates of AE. AE was most strongly
related to exploitive attitudes towards others and moderately related to an overall sense of entitlement and to narcissism.
Students who reported more academically entitled attitudes perceived their parents as exerting achievement pressure marked
by social comparison with other youth and materially rewarding good grades, scored higher than their peers in achievement
anxiety and extrinsic motivation, and engaged in more academic dishonesty. AE was not significantly associated with GPA.

“Always Use Protection”: Communication Boys Receive About Sex From Parents,Peers, and the Media 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Although parents are often thought to be the primary communicators of sexual information, studies have found that many adolescent
boys report receiving little or no parental communication about sex. Instead, boys report learning about sex mostly from their
peers and the media. However, little is known about the content of these communications, from any source. Using a sample of
286 male undergraduates, this study employed a mixed-method approach to examine the amount and content of sex-related communication
boys received from their parents, peers, and the media. Results indicated that adolescent boys report receiving less sexual
communication from their parents than from peers and the media. In terms of content, parental messages focused on abstinence
and contraception while peer and media messages were significantly more sex-positive. Analyses of ethnic group variation showed
that African American adolescents reported receiving the most parental communication and Asian American boys reported the
least, with further variability in the content of the messages. Findings also document considerable diversity of message content,
both within and across source, highlighting the utility of comparative and multi-method approaches.

Doing Well vs. Feeling Well: Understanding Family Dynamics and the Psychological Adjustment of Chinese Immigrant Adolescents 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Desirée Baolian Qin 《Journal of youth and adolescence》2008,37(1):22-35
Despite their average high levels of educational achievement, Asian American students often report poor psychological and
social adjustment, suggesting an achievement/adjustment paradox. Yet, the reasons for this paradox remain unclear. Drawing
on 5-year longitudinal qualitative interview data, this paper compares the family dynamics of two groups of adolescents from
Chinese immigrant families: non-distressed adolescents (n = 20) who have high levels of academic achievement and high levels of psychological well-being; and distressed adolescents (n = 18) who have high levels of academic achievement but low levels of psychological well-being. Findings suggest that the
two groups of families differed in parenting approaches after migration, parent–child communication, parental expectations,
and parent–child relations. Implications for Asian American adolescent and youth development are discussed.

The links between youth’s daily activities and adjustment and the role of cultural practices and values in these links were
studied in 469 youth from 237 Mexican American families. In home interviews, data on mothers’, fathers’, and two adolescent-age
siblings’ cultural practices (language use, social contacts) and values (for familism, for education achievement) were collected,
along with data on youth risky behavior and depressive symptoms. In 7 nightly phone calls, youth reported on their day’s free
time activities (i.e., sports, academics, religious activities, television viewing, and hanging out). Analyses revealed that
youth who spent more time in unsupervised hanging out reported more depressive symptoms and risky behavior, and those who
spent more time in academic activities reported less risky behavior. Results also indicated that more Anglo-oriented youth
spent more time in sports, that more Mexican-oriented youth spent more time watching television, that fathers’ familism values
were related to youth’s time in religious activities, and that parents’ educational values were linked to youth’s time in
academic activities. Some evidence indicated that parents’ cultural practices and values, particularly fathers’, moderated
the links between daily activities and youth adjustment.

The current study longitudinally examines the effects of child maltreatment, parenting, and disadvantaged neighborhood on
victimization, delinquency, and well-being via running away and school engagement among a sample of 360 high-risk adolescents.
Results of a path analysis revealed that parenting was associated with school engagement, running away, and well-being. Childhood
neglect was related to victimization while sexual abuse and living in a more disadvantaged neighborhood were associated with
poorer well-being. Greater school engagement was associated with higher levels of well-being and a lower likelihood of delinquency.
Finally, running away was positively associated with participating in delinquent activities. In terms of the interactions,
results showed that the effect of positive parenting on well-being was significantly stronger for females and the manner in
which neglect related to school engagement was greater among males. Additionally, gender significantly moderated the relationship
between running away and victimization and between running away and delinquency, both of which the effects were significantly
stronger for males. Implications for families and adolescents are addressed.

Prior research demonstrates negative consequences of racism, however, little is known about community, parenting, and intrapersonal
mechanisms that protect youth. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study illuminated linkages between positive and negative
contextual influences on rural African American adolescent outcomes. Quantitative results provide support for Structural Ecosystems
Theory, in that the influence of discrimination and collective socialization on adolescent outcomes was mediated by racial
socialization and positive parenting. Parenting and community influences contributed to adolescent racial identity and self
image, which protected against common negative responses to racism; including academic underachievement, succumbing to peer
pressure, and aggressive tendencies. Qualitative results indicate that current measures of discrimination may underestimate
adolescents’ experiences. Adolescents reported racist experiences in the domains of school, peers, and with the police (males
only). Moreover, qualitative findings echoed and expanded quantitative results with respect to the importance of the protective
nature of parents and communities.

Consistent with the view that adolescent relationships are established in the context of important characteristics of their
social networks, we examined the effects of adolescents’ experiences of parenting (psychological control and positive monitoring)
and of peer aggression and victimization, on their self reports of dating victimization and aggression. We also examined the
effects of individual differences in emotional and behavioral problems. We used questionnaire data from a population-based
sample of youth 12–18 years old who were in dating relationships (n = 149). Parental monitoring emerged as a protective factor in reducing both dating victimization and relational aggression.
Our findings also point to a significant transfer of aggression in peer relationships to relational aggression in dating relationships.

Number of lifetime episodes, duration of current episode, and severity of maternal depression were investigated in relation
to family functioning and child adjustment. Participants were the 151 mother–child pairs in the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives
to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) child multi-site study. Mothers were diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder; children (80
males and 71 females) ranged in age from 7 to 17 years. Measures of child adjustment included psychiatric diagnoses, internalizing
and externalizing symptoms, and functional impairment. Measures of family functioning included family cohesion, expressiveness,
conflict, organization, and household control; parenting measures assessed maternal acceptance and psychological control.
Children of mothers with longer current depressive episodes were more likely to have internalizing and externalizing symptoms,
with this association being moderated by child gender. Mothers with more lifetime depressive episodes were less likely to
use appropriate control in their homes.
