背景：本研究检验了 3 个假设：（1）感知到母亲不赞成性活动的青少年会比其他青少年晚开始性交； (2) 与母亲关系密切的青少年会比其他人更晚开始性行为； (3) 认为母亲不赞成性交的青少年比其他青少年更有可能与母亲产生高度的联系，并且母亲强烈反对并更频繁地与他们谈论性。 设计/背景：国家青少年健康纵向研究 (Add Health)，一项针对 7 至 12 年级美国学生的纵向研究。Add Health 核心家庭样本由 12105 名完成学业的学生组成。第 1 波学校内和家庭调查）。该样本的成员在第 2 波中完成了 9 至 18 个月后的第二次家庭调查。参与者：第 1 波和第 2 波家庭调查由 3322 名核心样本成员完成，他们在第 1 波时自称是处女，并且有完成第 1 波调查的常驻母亲。主要结果指标：首次性交时间、青少年第一次性行为月份/年份的第 2 波报告结果：青少年对母亲不赞成和母子高度联系的看法与第一次性交的延迟直接且独立地相关。如果母亲表示强烈反对，并且青少年与母亲关系密切，则青少年最有可能感受到母亲的反对。结论：感知到母亲对性交的反对，以及以高度温暖和亲密为特征的母子关系，可能是与青少年首次性交延迟相关的重要保护因素。
Background: This study examined 3 hypotheses: (1) adolescents who perceive maternal disapproval of sexual activity will initiate sexual intercourse later than other adolescents; (2) adolescents who feel highly connected to their mothers will initiate sexual intercourse later than others; and (3) adolescents who perceive maternal disapproval of sexual intercourse are more likely than others to experience high levels of connect edness to their mothers, and to have mothers who state strong disapproval and talk more frequently with them about sex.Design/Setting: The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), a longitudinal study of US students in grades 7 through 12. The Add Health core in-home sample consisted of 12105 students who completed in-school and in-home surveys at wave 1). Members of this sample completed a second in-home survey 9 to 18 months later at wave 2.Participants: Wave 1 and wave 2 in-home surveys were completed by 3322 core sample members who had re-ported being virgins at wave 1, and had resident mothers who completed wave 1 surveys.Main Outcome Measures: Time to first sexual intercourse, adolescents' wave 2 reports of month/year of first sexual intercourse.Results: Adolescents' perceptions of maternal disapproval and high levels of mother-child connectedness were directly and independently associated with delays in first sexual intercourse. Adolescents were most likely to perceive maternal disapproval if their mothers reported strong disapproval and if they reported being highly connected to their mothers.Conclusion: Perceived maternal disapproval of sexual intercourse, along with mother-child relationships characterized by high levels of warmth and closeness, may be important protective factors related to delay in adolescents' first sexual intercourse.
