|a Recent studies show that Hispanic adolescents are more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors (SRB). As a result, cases of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) are higher compared to their White non-Hispanic peers. The current literature indicate that adolescents who are oriented toward an acculturation process that emphasize receiving culture (i.e., Americanism) are more likely to be involved in sexual risk behaviors (SRB). Recent studies also show that involvement in risky sexual behaviors vary by gender among Hispanic adolescents. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to identify differences by gender and acculturation orientation (i.e., Hispanicism and Americanism) on involvement in SRB in a sample of Hispanic adolescents. The study used a 2x2 factorial ANOVA to examine the main and interaction effects of both acculturation levels and gender on SRB. Main and interaction effects between acculturation and gender on SRB were not observed in the current study. Descriptive results indicated that female adolescents with an American orientation to acculturation reported higher mean levels in the number of sexual risk behaviors in the past 90 days. Findings suggest the practical significance of gender and acculturation which accounted for a small amount of the variability in sexual risk behaviors among Hispanic adolescents. |
