非裔美国男性青年不成比例地报告有多个性伴侣，这增加了他们感染性传播疾病和意外怀孕的风险。很少有人知道非洲裔美国男性青年之间的性伴侣轨迹的发展前兆。此外，很少有研究关注许多非裔美国青年，他们表现出高度传统的性伴侣轨迹，即，只有一个伴侣或长期禁欲的青少年。利用一项纵向研究的四波数据，我们假设青春期早期社会和经济劣势的积累会对青春期后期青少年的传统性伴侣轨迹产生负面影响。我们预计这些不利因素会影响青少年对保护性家庭过程的接受，以及他们对与常规行为相关的一系列自我调节过程（自我调节、希望和低水平愤怒）的报告。假设进行了测试，从315个非洲裔美国男性青年从11岁到18.5岁，他们的主要照顾者的数据。我们的研究结果支持了这一假设。在青春期前的社会经济劣势预测从16岁到18.5岁的传统性伴侣轨迹参与较少。这种关联是由保护性的家庭过程和一套相互关联的自我保护过程介导的。旨在促进保护性养育和自我过程的预防性干预措施，可以预期会促进以禁欲或与很少的伴侣关系为特征的性行为轨迹。
African American male youth disproportionately report involvement with multiple sexual partners, which increases their risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and initiation of unplanned pregnancies. Little is known about the developmental precursors of sexual partner trajectories among African American male youth. Moreover, few studies focus on the many African American youth who evince highly conventional sexual partner trajectories, i.e., youth who have only one partner or abstain from sexual activity across time. Using four waves of data from a longitudinal study, we hypothesized that an accumulation of social and economic disadvantages in early adolescence would negatively influence youths’ conventional sexual partner trajectories in late adolescence. We expected these disadvantages to affect youths’ receipt of protective family processes and their reports of a set of intrapersonal processes (self-regulation, hope, and low levels of anger) linked to generally conventional behavior. Hypotheses were tested with data from 315 African American male youth from 11 to 18.5 years of age and their primary caregivers. Our results supported the hypotheses. Socioeconomic disadvantages during preadolescence predicted less involvement in conventional sexual partner trajectories from ages 16 to 18.5 years. This association was mediated by protective family processes and a set of interrelated intrapersonal protective processes. Preventive interventions designed to promote protective parenting and intrapersonal processes can be expected to promote sexual behavior trajectories characterized by abstinence or relations with very few partners.
