目的：本研究根据性转变的背景将年轻人分为三组：(1)婚前性交者(婚前)，(2)婚后推迟性行为者(Postponers)，(3)从未发生过阴道性交者(Virgins)。第二个目的是确定预测这些成人群体成员的青少年生物心理社会因素。方法：分析基于11,407名年龄在18-27岁之间的受访者，他们参加了国家青少年健康纵向研究的第一波和第三波。使用反映社会人口、生物社会、经验和背景因素的青少年指标，使用多项Logistic回归模型预测青少年的性状况。结果：约8%的样本是处女，2%的样本在结婚前是处女。近90%的人有婚前性行为(婚前性行为--参照组)。对于男性和女性来说，大多数预测地位的因素都是相似的。与婚前相比，处女在青春期比同龄人更年轻，非黑人，身体成熟程度不比同龄人高，体重指数更高，更虔诚，在青春期感觉到父母不赞成性行为。推迟结婚的人也比结婚前的人更虔诚，但年龄更大。女性延迟者不是黑人，在青春期感觉到父母不赞成性行为。男性延迟者不太可能有同性吸引力或没有性吸引力。结论：研究结果记录了婚前性行为是这些队列中几乎普遍存在的进入年轻成年期的性轨迹，并强调了生物社会因素和传统机构在新出现的性行为模式中的作用。
PURPOSE: This study estimates the percentages of young adults who fall into three groups based on the context of sexual transition: (1) those who had vaginal intercourse before marriage (Premaritals), (2) those who postponed sex until after marriage (Postponers), and (3) those who have never had vaginal intercourse (Virgins). The second purpose is to determine adolescent biopsychosocial factors that predict membership in these adult groups.METHODS: Analyses are based on 11,407 respondents ages 18-27 years who participated in Waves I and III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Adolescent indicators reflecting sociodemographic, biosocial, experiential, and contextual factors were used to predict young adult sexual status using multinomial logistic regression models.RESULTS: About 8% of the sample were virgins and 2% were virgins until marriage. Almost 90% had sex before marriage (Premaritals--referent group). Most predictors of status were similar for males and females. Compared with Premaritals, Virgins were younger, non-Black, not advanced in physical maturity relative to peers in adolescence, had higher body mass indexes, were more religious, and perceived parental disapproval of sex during adolescence. Postponers were also more religious than Premaritals but were older. Female Postponers were non-Black and perceived parental disapproval of sex during adolescence. Male Postponers were less likely to have same-gender attractions or no sexual attractions.CONCLUSIONS: Findings document premarital sexual activity as the almost universal sexual trajectory into young adulthood for these cohorts and underscore the roles of biosocial factors and conventional institutions in emerging sexual patterns.
