在这篇论文中，我们研究了男女高中生的体育参与与性行为、避孕药具使用和怀孕之间的关系。协方差分析和多元协方差分析进行了全国代表性样本的8,979名高中生（1995年青年危险行为调查）。在控制了种族和民族、年龄和母亲的教育程度后，参加体育运动的女孩比不参加体育运动的女孩有更低的性经历率、更少的性伴侣、更晚的首次性交年龄、更高的避孕药具使用率和更低的既往怀孕率。高中运动员中的男性比非运动员有更高的性经历和更多的性伴侣，但是和他们的女性同伴一样，他们在最近的性交中也更有可能使用避孕措施。文化资源理论表明，参加体育运动可能会减少女孩对传统文化脚本的坚持，同时为她们提供额外的社会和个人资源，使她们能够在性交易过程中利用这些资源。体育为男孩提供了类似的资源，同时加强了他们对传统男性角色的承诺。
In this paper, we examine the relationships among athletic participation and sexual behavior, contraceptive use, and pregnancy in female and male high school students. Analyses of covariance and multiple analyses of covariance were performed on a nationally representative sample of 8,979 high school students (the 1995 Youth Risk Behavior Survey). After controlling for race and ethnicity, age, and mother’s education, girls who participated in sports had lower rates of sexual experience, fewer sex partners, later age of first intercourse, higher rates of contraceptive use, and lower rates of past pregnancy than girls who did not participate. Male high school athletes reported higher rates of sexual experience and more partners than nonathletes, but—like their female counterparts—were also more likely to have used birth control during their most recent intercourse. Cultural resource theory suggests that athletic participation may reduce girls’ adherence to conventional cultural scripts while providing them with additional social and personal resources on which to draw in the sexual bargaining process. Sports provides boys with similar resources while strengthening their commitment to traditional masculine scripts.
