摘要本研究探讨了文化因素在解释10-13岁非裔美国城市女孩性态度中的作用。研究人员预测，那些对学校更感兴趣、家庭凝聚力更强、对宗教更虔诚、行为更自信的女孩会倾向于危险性更小的性态度。此外，年龄较大的女孩比年龄较小的女孩有更危险的性态度，单亲家庭的女孩比双亲家庭的女孩有更危险的性态度。作者假设，在控制了环境和个人变量之后，种族认同和性别角色取向有助于解释性态度的可变性。研究人员对214名参加药物滥用预防项目的女孩进行了问卷调查。分析采用前测数据。最后的回归模型解释了23%的性态度差异。年龄和行为自尊是显著的预测因素，年龄较小的青少年和行为自尊较高的青少年的性态度风险较小。在其他变量被控制之后，文化变量有助于解释性态度的变化。较高的种族认同水平与危险性较低的性态度有关。男性化的性别角色取向与更危险的性态度有关。
The role of cultural factors in explaining sexual attitudes among African American urban girls, aged 10-13 years, was investigated in this study. The authors predicted that girls with higher school interest, family cohesion, religiosity, and behavioral self-esteem would endorse less risky sexual attitudes. Also, older girls were expected to have more risky sexual attitudes than younger girls, and girls from 1- rather than 2-parent households were expected to have more risky sexual attitudes. The authors hypothesized that ethnic identity and gender role orientations would contribute to explaining variability in sexual attitudes after controlling for contextual and intrapersonal variables. A questionnaire containing measures of the study constructs was administered to 214 girls who were participants in a substance abuse prevention program. Pretest data were used in analyses. A final regression model accounted for 23% of the variance in sexual attitudes. Age and behavioral self-esteem were significant predictors, with younger teens and teens with higher behavioral self-esteem having less risky sexual attitudes. Cultural variables contributed to explaining variation in sexual attitudes after other variables were controlled for. Higher levels of ethnic identity were associated with less risky sexual attitudes. A masculine gender role orientation was associated with more risky sexual attitudes.
