这项研究调查了695名非裔美国人和637名波多黎各青少年的性行为顺序，以及这一顺序与其他问题行为测量的关系。分析表明，青少年的性行为经历了四个阶段：不参与，然后是深吻，然后是抚摸，最后是性交。这一序列在两个种族群体中是相似的，似乎既是一维的，也是累积的。此外，对于两个民族来说，性参与的程度与吸毒水平和犯罪行为的频率显著相关，从而表明存在潜在的问题行为综合症。对今后的研究方向进行了展望。
This study examined the sequence of sexual behavior of 695 African American and 637 Puerto Rican adolescents and the relationship of this sequence to other problem behavior measures. Analyses indicated that adolescents proceed through four stages of sexual behavior: no involvement, then deep kissing, then petting, and, finally, sexual intercourse. The sequence was similar in both ethnic groups and seemed both unidimensional and cumulative. In addition, for both ethnic groups the degree of sexual involvement was significantly related to the level of drug use and to the frequency of delinquent behavior, thereby suggesting an underlying problem behavior syndrome. Directions for future research are suggested.
