PurposeThis study assessed the extent of which personal characteristics，knowledge and beliefs，and family interactions and relationships are related to the occurrence of mother-child communication about sexuals.MethodsThe study used a descriptive，cross-sectional design among a convenient sample of 298 mainly low-to-middle-income African American mothers and 298 of their 6-12-years-old-children recruited from a youth-serving，社区组织参与者完成了一个基于计算机的采访收集数据的性沟通，一般母子沟通，父母的参与和监测，父母与孩子的同龄人群体的关系，孩子的社会技能和问题行为，母亲的自我效能，结果的期望，舒适性沟通，和demographics.ResultsMothers更有可能与女儿和年龄较大的孩子沟通。更大的自我效能和舒适性沟通与更多的性沟通有关。我们还探讨了以前研究中的几个不一致的发现-母亲的年龄，社会经济地位和宗教信仰。母亲的年龄和社会经济地位并不显着，和宗教接近statistical significance.ConclusionsMother的自我效能和舒适度是潜在的可修改的变量，因此，应考虑到设计干预措施，旨在增加亲子沟通性。
PurposeThis study assessed the extent to which personal characteristics, knowledge and beliefs, and family interactions and relationships are related to the occurrence of mother–child communication about sexuality.MethodsThe study used a descriptive, cross‐sectional design among a convenience sample of 298 predominantly lower‐ to middle‐income African American mothers and 298 of their 6–12‐year‐old‐children recruited from a youth‐serving, community‐based organization. Participants completed a computer‐based interview to collect data on sexuality communication, general mother–child communication, parental involvement and monitoring, parent relationship with child's peer group, child's social skills and problem behaviours, mothers' self‐efficacy, outcome expectations, comfort with sexuality communication, and demographics.ResultsMothers were more likely to communicate with daughters and older children. Greater self‐efficacy and comfort in sexuality communication were related to greater sexuality communication. We also explored several inconsistent findings in previous studies – mother's age, socio‐economic status and religiosity. Mother's age and socio‐economic status were not significant, and religiosity approached statistical significance.ConclusionsMother's self‐efficacy and comfort are potentially modifiable variables and therefore should be taken into consideration when designing interventions that aim to increase parent–child communication about sexuality.
