本研究考察了父母与青少年关于开始性行为和安全套的沟通如何影响同伴规范和行为之间的关系：非裔美国人和西班牙裔青少年报告了父母与青少年关于开始性行为和安全套的讨论，关于性行为和安全套使用的感知同伴规范，以及他们自己的行为，关于性行为的沟通和感知同伴规范都与性行为有关;安全套使用行为与安全套的沟通、同伴对安全套的规范有关。对于性行为和安全套的使用，同伴规范行为的关系是由父母的沟通调节：同伴规范更强烈的青少年谁没有讨论过性或安全套与父母的行为。沟通也与青少年将父母命名为他们关于性的最佳信息来源有关。结果表明，缺乏沟通可能会导致青少年转向同龄人，而同龄人可能会影响他们的行为。
This research examined how parent-adolescent communication about initiating sex and condoms influenced the relationship between peer norms and behavior: African American and Hispanic adolescents reported on parent-adolescent discussions about initiating sex and condoms, perceived peer norms about sex and condom use, and their own behavior Communication about sex and perceived peer norms about sex were each related to sexual behavior; and communication about condoms and peer norms about condoms were related to condom use behavior. For both sex and condom use, the peer norm-behavior relationship was moderated by parental communication: Peer norms were more strongly related to behavior among adolescents who had not discussed sex or condoms with a parent. Communication was also related to teens naming a parent as their best source of information about sex Results suggest that a lack of communication may cause adolescents to turn to peers and that peers may then influence their behavior.
