Book Synopsis Understanding Peer Influence in Children and Adolescents by : Mitchell J. Prinstein
Download or read book Understanding Peer Influence in Children and Adolescents written by Mitchell J. Prinstein and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, educators, and parents of teens have long recognized the potency of peer influences on children and youth, but until recently, questions of how and why adolescents emulate their peers were largely overlooked. This book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the processes by which peers shape each other's attitudes and behavior, and explores implications for intervention and prevention. Leading authorities share compelling findings on such topics as how drug use, risky sexual behavior, and other deviant behaviors "catch on" among certain peer groups or cliques; the social, cognitive, developmental, and contextual factors that strengthen or weaken the power of peer influence; and the nature of positive peer influences and how to support them.
Book Synopsis The Association of Ethnic Identity on Sexual Activity Among a Sample of African American Adolescents by : Angelina Marie Anthony
Download or read book The Association of Ethnic Identity on Sexual Activity Among a Sample of African American Adolescents written by Angelina Marie Anthony and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore ethnic identity as a protective factor against sexual activity among a sample of African American adolescents. The study sample consisted of 1084 African American adolescents who were administered a survey comprised of questions about their health, risk behaviors, and their backgrounds. The variables examined were sexual intercourse, ethnic identity, parent-child communication regarding specific topics, mother-adolescent conflict and negative communication. The study also examined family structure, educational aspirations, attitudes about sex, self-esteem, refusal skills, lifetime substance use, perceived peer lifetime sexual behavior, age and gender. Analyses conducted examined the relationship between sexual activity and the independent variables as well as associations between two nominal variables. Relationships between interval/ratio variables were investigated. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to assess whether the relationship between ethnic identity and lifetime sexual intercourse persisted, controlling for individual, family, and social factors. The findings indicate ethnic identity, and individual, family, and peer factors were related to lifetime sexual intercourse. The effects were stronger for substance use and the influence of peers on sexual behavior. When taking into account the other individual, family, and peer factors, the relationship between ethnic identity and lifetime sexual intercourse was non-significant. Additionally, ethnic identity did not moderate the risk factors explored in this study. Gender differences are clearly delineated in the study with more males having sexual intercourse than females. The results of this study recommend multifaceted interventions that begin as early as elementary school and involve families, schools, communities, and organizations working to promote responsible sexual behavior of adolescents. In addition, the findings of other studies provide support for intervention programs that facilitate the development of ethnic identity, such as youth mentoring programs with a focus on Rites of Passage programs. Interventions should also be developed to include peer groups that are comprised of friends, because of the influence peers have on sexual activity and the engagement in other risk behaviors such as substance use.-- Abstract.
Book Synopsis Risky Sex Among African American Adolescents by : Alyssa Lauren Brown
Download or read book Risky Sex Among African American Adolescents written by Alyssa Lauren Brown and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risky sexual behavior continues to be a public health concern in the United States and studying its antecedents remains an important research endeavor. Utilizing longitudinal data from a sample (N=279) of African American youth and their families, this study examines the relationship between experiences of economic pressure in early adolescence and risky sexual behavior in late adolescence through the processes indicated in the Family Stress Model. Results showed significant relationships between economic pressure, primary and secondary caregiver depression, caregiver conflict, and hostile, inattentive parenting in early adolescence, consistent with the Family Stress Model. Hostile, inattentive parenting positively predicted risky sexual behavior in late adolescence, showing an indirect relationship between economic pressure and risky sexual behavior. Finally, no gender differences in the relationships outlined in this model were observed. This research has important implications for sexual health and prevention programs aimed at reducing risky sexual behavior among adolescents.

Book Synopsis Adolescent Risk Behaviors by : David A. Wolfe
Download or read book Adolescent Risk Behaviors written by David A. Wolfe and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the crucial role that relationships play in the lives of teenagers. The authors particularly examine the ways that healthy relationships can help teens avoid such common risk behaviors as substance abuse, dating violence, sexual assault, and unsafe sexual practices. Addressing the current lack of effective prevention programs for teens, they present new strategies for encouraging healthy choices. The book first traces differences between the “rules of relating” for boys and girls and discusses typical and atypical patterns of experimentation in teens. The authors identify the common link among risk behaviors: the relationship connection. In the second part of the book, they examine the principles of successful programs used by schools and communities to cultivate healthy adolescent development. An illuminating conclusion describes the key ingredients for engaging adolescents, their parents, teachers, and communities in the effort to promote healthy, nonviolent relationships among teens.
Book Synopsis Focus on Adolescent Behavior Research by : Terry C. Rhodes

Book excerpt: Developmentally, puberty is accompanied by major physical and emotional changes that alter a young person's relationships and patterns of interaction with others. The transition into adolescence begins the move toward independence from parents and the need to establish one's own values, personal and sexual identity, and the skills and competencies needed to compete in adult society. Independence requires young people to renegotiate family rules and degree of supervision by parents, a process that can generate conflict and withdrawal from parents. At the same time, social networks expand, and relationships with peers and adults in new social contexts equal or exceed in importance the relationships with parents. The criteria for success and acceptance among peers and adults change. Adapting to all of these changes in relationships, social contexts, status, and performance criteria can generate great stress, feelings of rejection, and anger at perceived or real failure. Young people may be attracted to violent behaviour as a way of asserting their independence of the adult world and its rules, as a way of gaining the attention and respect of peers, as a way of compensating for limited personal competencies, or as a response to restricted opportunities for success at school or in the community. Good relationships with parents during childhood will help in a successful transition to adolescence, but they do not guarantee it. This new book presents new research in the field.
Book Synopsis Risky Sexual Behavior and African-American Youth by : Mir M. Ali
Download or read book Risky Sexual Behavior and African-American Youth written by Mir M. Ali and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the impact of family structure and family context on risky sexual behavior among African-Americans. The research on adolescent sexual behavior finds that youth are more likely to engage in sexual activity at an earlier age and have more partners when they are not raised in two-parent households. This is a concern for African-Americans because they are less likely to live in two-parent families and are also more likely to be sexually active. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, we find that adolescents in cohabitating and step-parent households are more likely to engage in sexual activity and have more partners, compared to their counterparts in two-parent households. We also find differential effects by gender, with family structure and context having a stronger effect on young females. This is an important result because it shows the negative effects of family disruptions in the African-American community.
Book Synopsis An Examination of the Influence of Mother-child Communication and Maternal Monitoring on Sexual Behavior in African American High School Students by : Ludmilla F. Wikkeling-Scott
Download or read book An Examination of the Influence of Mother-child Communication and Maternal Monitoring on Sexual Behavior in African American High School Students written by Ludmilla F. Wikkeling-Scott and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enjoyment of physical contact and expressions of sexual feelings are normal experiences of adolescent development but have also been related to negative health consequences, with a higher prevalence among African Americans. Research has focused on reducing behaviors such as sexual activity among adolescents to avoid related health consequences but often fail to address the parental factor. A few studies on parental factors have noted that parent-child communication and parental monitoring are important influencers of adolescent sexual behavior. They also noted that mothers are the main communicators on topics of sex while fathers communicate about general topics. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of mother-child communication and maternal monitoring on sexual behavior among African American high school students. Secondary data analysis was conducted on a cross-sectional sample of 424 adolescents between 14 and 17 years of age who participated in the Family Adolescent Risk Behavior and Communication Survey. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses and multiple regressions were conducted in order to draw conclusions about the influence of main predictors on outcome variables. The statistical significance for analyses was determined at a level of 0.05 alpha. In this study sample, 209 students had engaged in sexual intercourse, 125 students anticipated sexual intercourse in the next year, and 90 students reported to delay sexual intercourse in the next year. The results from multiple regression analyses showed that when different levels of African American adolescent sexual experience are considered (beyond the traditional sexually active/not sexually active dichotomy), the role of mother-child communication and maternal monitoring are not strong based on the three specific hypotheses that were tested. Results suggested that future studies may benefit from a longitudinal rather than a cross sectional design. The study concluded that the nurturing role of mothers can be greatly enhanced when they learn the appropriate skills to guide their adolescents on the path to adulthood with relevant tools to make healthy decisions.-- Abstract.
