大量的理论和实证文献表明，童年时期的压力事件影响随后的性行为和生殖行为的时间和模式。据预测，压力大的童年环境会产生一种生活史策略，在这种策略中，成年人更倾向于短期交配行为，而不太倾向于与长寿相一致的行为。这篇文章测试了这一假设，即不良的童年环境将预测两个方面的成年结果：危险的性行为（从事性风险行为或接受艾滋病毒检测）和婚姻状况（目前已婚与从未结婚，离婚或未婚夫妇的成员）。数据来自行为风险因素监测系统。样本包括17,530名男性和23,978名女性，年龄在18-54岁之间，居住在美国13个州和哥伦比亚特区。不良的童年环境是通过11个童年环境的回顾性措施进行评估的，包括与抑郁症或精神病患者，酗酒者，使用或滥用药物或在监狱服刑的人一起长大;父母是否在童年离婚;以及两个衡量童年暴露于暴力和性创伤的量表。结果表明，不利的童年环境与从事性风险行为或进行艾滋病毒检测的可能性增加有关，并且男女双方未婚夫妇或离婚/分居的可能性增加。这些预测得到了数据的支持，进一步支持了童年环境影响成年生殖策略的假设。
A substantial theoretical and empirical literature suggests that stressful events in childhood influence the timing and patterning of subsequent sexual and reproductive behaviors. Stressful childhood environments have been predicted to produce a life history strategy in which adults are oriented more toward short-term mating behaviors and less toward behaviors consistent with longevity. This article tests the hypothesis that adverse childhood environment will predict adult outcomes in two areas: risky sexual behavior (engagement in sexual risk behavior or having taken an HIV test) and marital status (currently married vs. never married, divorced, or a member of an unmarried couple). Data come from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The sample contains 17,530 men and 23,978 women aged 18–54 years living in 13 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia. Adverse childhood environment is assessed through 11 retrospective measures of childhood environment, including having grown up with someone who was depressed or mentally ill, who was an alcoholic, who used or abused drugs, or who served time in prison; whether one’s parents divorced in childhood; and two scales measuring childhood exposure to violence and to sexual trauma. The results indicate that adverse childhood environment is associated with increased likelihood of engaging in sexual risk behaviors or taking an HIV test, and increased likelihood of being in an unmarried couple or divorced/separated, for both men and women. The predictions are supported by the data, lending further support to the hypothesis that childhood environments influence adult reproductive strategy.
