背景：青少年是性传播感染（STIs），包括人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的高危人群。父母的监控、支持、角色塑造和性沟通等教养过程对青少年的性态度、性信念和性行为有重要影响。特别是亲子间的性风险沟通与青少年对性传播感染和艾滋病毒的风险和预防的态度、信念和行为显著相关。目的：本研究的目的是报告父母-青少年性风险沟通量表的发展（PTSRC-III），一个八项自我-用于衡量父母与青少年之间就性风险和减少性风险进行沟通的数量的报告工具方法：PTSRC-III的心理测量学和两个样本的青少年后期，大学新生（N = 95）和女性持牌司机年龄在19至21岁（N = 234）的心理测量学特性的稳定性，报告。量表的内部信度良好（与母亲和父亲进行性风险沟通的a分别为>.93和>.88）;重测信度是可以接受的（对于PTSRC，母亲和父亲分别为2个月的r = 0.88和0.79）。同时效度，预测效度和稳定性的心理测量也被证明。因素分析表明，一个双因素的structure.Discussion：PTSRC-III提供了一个有效的和可靠的措施，评估女性青少年的看法，父母青少年的性风险沟通，特别是与他们的母亲。两个样本的心理测试结果都很稳定。使用和未来发展的影响进行了讨论。
Background: Adolescents are a group at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Several parenting processes, including parental monitoring, support, role modeling, and sexual communication, have been shown to be significant influences of adolescents' sexual attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. Parent-child sexual risk communication, in particular, has been associated significantly with adolescents' attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to risk of and prevention of STIs and HIV.Objective: The aim of this study was to report on the development of the Parent-Teen Sexual Risk Communication Scale (PTSRC-III), an eight-item self-report instrument for measuring the amount of communication about sexual risk and sexual risk reduction occurring between parents and their adolescent children, as reported by the adolescent.Methods: Psychometrics of the PTSRC-III and the stability of the psychometric properties across two samples of late adolescents, college freshmen (N = 95) and female licensed drivers aged 19 to 21 years (N = 234), are reported.Results: Internal reliability of the scale was excellent (a of >.93 and >.88 for sexual risk communication with mothers and fathers, respectively); test-retest reliability was acceptable (r = .88 and .79 over 2 months for PTSRC with mothers and fathers, respectively). Concurrent validity, predictive validity, and stability of psychometrics were also demonstrated. Factor analysis demonstrated a two-factor structure.Discussion: The PTSRC-III provides a valid and reliable measure for assessing female adolescents' perceptions of parent-teen sexual risk communication, particularly with their mothers. Psychometrics were shown to be stable across the two samples. Implications for use and future development are discussed.
