目的:大众传媒在青少年社会化中发挥着重要作用。鉴于其不断扩大的性质和可访问性,互联网可能处于这种教育的前沿。然而,互联网对青少年性态度和性行为的影响程度尚不清楚。方法:共有433名青少年在纽约市一家健康中心完成了一项匿名调查。横断面调查评估了互联网的可访问性、暴露于色情网站(SEWs)、性行为和性宽容态度。结果:在参与者中,96%的人可以上网,55.4%的人报告曾经访问过SEW。Logistic回归分析显示,暴露于SEWs的青少年更有可能拥有多个性伴侣(OR = 1.8, CI = 1.2, 2.9),在过去3个月内有不止一个性伴侣(OR = 1.8, CI = 1.1, 3.1),在最后一次性接触中使用酒精或其他物质(OR = 2.8, CI = 1.5, 5.2),以及进行肛交(OR = 2.0, CI = 1.2, 3.4)。与从未接触过SEWs的青少年相比,访问过SEWs的青少年表现出更高的性许可得分(2.3比1.9,p
Purpose: Mass media play an important role in the socialization of youth. Given its expanding nature and accessibility, the Internet may be at the forefront of this education. However, the extent of the Internet's impact on adolescent sexual attitudes and behaviors is not yet known.Methods: A total of 433 adolescents completed an anonymous survey at a health center in New York City. The cross-sectional survey assessed Internet accessibility, exposure to sexually explicit Web sites (SEWs), sexual behaviors, and sexually permissive attitudes.Results: Of the participants, 96% had Internet access, and 55.4% reported ever visiting a SEW. Logistic regression analyses revealed that adolescents exposed to SEWs were more likely to have multiple lifetime sexual partners (OR = 1.8, CI = 1.2, 2.9), to have had more than one sexual partner in the last 3 months (OR = 1.8, CI = 1.1, 3.1), to have used alcohol or other substances at last sexual encounter (OR = 2.8, CI = 1.5, 5.2), and to have engaged in anal sex (OR = 2.0, CI = 1.2, 3.4). Adolescents who visit SEWs display higher sexual permissiveness scores compared with those who have never been exposed (2.3 vs. 1.9, p
