这项研究从自我决定理论的角度探讨了母亲如何与处于青春期的女儿就高风险的性话题以及更多的日常话题进行沟通。母亲和她们11至14岁的女儿(44对夫妇)参加了两次对话，并报告了她们的经历。在日常谈话中，母亲的自主支持与女儿的经历、参与度和对更多谈话的渴望呈正相关。在性对话中，母亲的结构与女儿的参与度、经历和对更多对话的渴望呈正相关。与日常话题相比，母亲在谈论性对话中的自主性支持程度较低。母亲对威胁的感知与对话中的自主性支持较少有关，而对话中的担忧与日常对话中的自主性支持和性对话中的结构负相关。讨论了干预措施的含义。
This study explored how mothers communicated with their young adolescent daughters about the high-stakes topic of sex, as well as more everyday topics, from a Self-Determination Theory perspective. Mothers and their 11- to 14-year-old daughters (44 dyads) participated in two conversations and reported on their experiences. In the everyday conversation, maternal autonomy support was positively related to daughters' experience, engagement, and desire for additional conversations. In the sex conversation, maternal structure was positively associated with daughters' engagement, experience, and desire for additional conversations. Mothers were less autonomy supportive in conversations about sex, as compared to everyday topics. Maternal perceptions of threat were associated with less autonomy support in both conversations and worry during the conversation was negatively associated with autonomy support in the everyday conversation, and with structure in the sex conversation. Implications for intervention are discussed.
