本研究旨在探讨媒体讯息处理变数在青少年性行为意向中的角色。从873名青少年在美国收集的数据进行了检查，在一个有序的逻辑回归模型，其中包括人口统计学变量，态度，自我效能，父母和同伴的规范信念，媒体信息处理变量。分析表明，媒体信息处理变量对青少年的性意图有独特的影响，超出了所有其他预测因素的影响。具体而言，较高水平的感知现实主义，感知相似性，并与媒体信息的识别与较高水平的青少年性意图。这些研究结果支持的相关性的媒体信息的逻辑处理青少年的性活动的意图，并建议这可能是一个可能的认知机制，以解决在媒体素养教育计划，重点是促进健康的decision-making.Sexual exploration和discovery是一个自然的青春期的一部分。然而，美国的许多青少年正在从事危险的性行为，这使他们面临性传播感染和意外怀孕的风险（Kann等人，2014年）。一个重要的研究机构已经探索了青少年的性决策，并且已经发现了大量的因素与性健康结果相关（Buhi & Goodson，2007），包括接触媒体信息（Ward，Reed，Trinh，& Foust，2013）。最近的研究发现，媒介素养教育（MLE）是性健康教育的一种很有前途的方法（Pinkleton，Austin，Chen，& Cohen，2012; Scull，Malik，& Kupersstrike，2014; Scull，Kupersstrike，Malik & Keefe，2017）。MLE性健康干预措施通常使用媒体解释处理（MIP）模型（Austin &约翰逊，1997 b）的理论框架，并通过提高学生的媒体信息处理技能，以及影响健康性决策的几个已知的先决条件（例如，态度，规范信念，自我效能）来减轻媒体对青少年性健康的潜在有害影响。然而，在这方面，
This study investigated the role that media message processing variables stemming from the Message Interpretation Process (MIP) model play in adolescents’ intentions to engage in sexual activity. Data collected from 873 adolescents in the United States were examined in an ordered logistic regression model containing demographic variables; attitudes; self-efficacy; parent and peer normative beliefs; and media message processing variables. The analyses revealed that media message processing variables have a unique influence on adolescent sexual intentions above and beyond the influence of all the other predictors. Specifically, higher levels of perceived realism of, perceived similarity to, and identification with media messages were related to higher levels of adolescent sexual intent. These findings support the relevance of logical processing of media messages for adolescent intentions for sexual activity and suggest that this may be a possible cognitive mechanism to address in media literacy education programs focusing on promoting healthy decision-making.Sexual exploration and discovery is a natural part of adolescence. However, many teens in the US are engaging in risky sexual behaviors that put them at risk for sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy (Kann et al., 2014). A significant body of research has explored adolescent sexual decision-making, and a plethora of factors have been found to be associated with sexual health outcomes (Buhi & Goodson, 2007), including exposure to media messages (Ward, Reed, Trinh, & Foust, 2013). Recent research has found media literacy education (MLE) to be a promising approach to sexual health education (Pinkleton, Austin, Chen, & Cohen, 2012; Scull, Malik, & Kupersmidt, 2014; Scull, Kupersmidt, Malik, & Keefe, 2017). MLE sexual health interventions often use the theoretical framework of the Media Interpretation Processing (MIP) model (Austin & Johnson, 1997b) and focus on attenuating the potentially harmful influence of media on adolescent sexual health by enhancing students’ media message processing skills, as a well as influencing several known antecedents of healthy sexual decisions making (eg, attitudes, normative beliefs, self-efficacy). However,
