Notes
- Abstract:
- The emerging trend for adolescents has been for teens to engage in sexual behaviors, and consequently higher-risk sexual activities, at earlier ages. A lack of sufficient sexual education has been shown to be partly responsible for this trend. Research has shown that parents play the primary role in sexual education for their children. This study examined the relationship between an adolescent’s recalled perceptions of openness and honesty in their communication with their parents and the ages at which they engaged in various sexual behaviors. Female young adults (N=54) completed three self-report measures. Results did not illustrate a significant relationship between levels of perceived openness and honesty, age of sexual activity onset, frequency of sexual behaviors, age of initial protection usage, or frequency of protection usage.
