本研究的目的是超越性风险框架，调查青少年的三个性积极结构之间的可能联系：他们的性自我概念（即，他们对自己作为性存在的积极/消极感受），他们与浪漫/性伴侣的性交流，以及他们的性交流自我效能。我们还研究了性交经验和性别在这些结构中的差异。参与者是171名在过去一年中有过约会或性关系的青少年（法师=16.32岁; 64.3%是女孩）。与女生相比，男生有更积极的性自我概念，但与伴侣进行性交流的自我效能感较低。与没有性交经历的青少年相比，报告有性交经历的青少年有更积极的性自我概念以及更频繁的伴侣性交流。性自我概念越积极的青少年，性沟通自我效能感越高，性沟通频率也越高。此外，性沟通自我效能感在性自我概念与性沟通之间起部分中介作用。结果突出了性自我概念和性沟通之间的联系，并有助于越来越多的工作对青少年性行为的积极方面。
The purpose of this study was to move beyond a sexual risk framework to investigate the possible associations among three sex-positive constructs for adolescents: their sexual self-concept (i.e., their positive/negative feelings about themselves as sexual beings), their sexual communication with romantic/sexual partners, and their sexual communication self-efficacy. We also examined differences in these constructs by sexual intercourse experience and gender. Participants were 171 adolescents who had been in a dating or sexual relationship in the past year (Mage=16.32 years; 64.3% girls). Compared to girls, boys had more positive sexual self-concepts but less self-efficacy to communicate with their partners about sex. Adolescents who reported having had sexual intercourse had more positive sexual self-concepts as well as more frequent partner sexual communication compared to adolescents without sexual intercourse experience. Adolescents with a more positive sexual self-concept had higher sexual communication self-efficacy and reported more frequent sexual communication. In addition, sexual communication self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between sexual self-concept and sexual communication. Results highlight the connection between sexual self-concept and sexual communication and contribute to a growing body of work on the positive aspects of adolescent sexuality.
