“…For example, adolescent risk-takers are disproportionately likely to be male and/or African American (Furstenberg et al, 1987;Lauritsen, 1994;Miller and Moore, 1990). Nor is involvement with sports randomly distributed; White males in particular are overrepresented among adolescent athletic participants (Dodge and Jaccard, 2002;Miller et al, 2002).…”

“…Autonomy grows and accompanying opportunities for sexual experimentation become more common as adolescents get older; unsurprisingly, then, age is significantly associated with sexual activity and risk-taking (Benda and DiBlasio, 1994;Harvey and Spigner, 1995;Miller et al, 1997Miller et al, ,1999bMiller et al, ,2002. Risk-takers are also disproportionately likely to be economically disadvantaged (Harvey and Spigner, 1995;Males, 1993;Miller and Moore, 1990).Furthermore, the quality of family relationships, particularly children's relationships with their parents, is demonstrably associated with adolescent sexual behavior. For example, moderate levels of parental strictness (White and White, 1991) and high levels of parental support and monitoring (Barnes and Farrell, 1992;Benda and DiBlasio, 1994) have been linked with lower rates of sexual activity.…”

Despite recent declines in overall sexual activity, sexual risk-taking remains a substantial danger to US youth. Existing research points to athletic participation as a promising venue for reducing these risks. Linear regressions and multiple analyses of covariance were performed on a longitudinal sample of nearly 600 Western New York adolescents in order to examine gender-and race-specific relationships between "jock" identity and adolescent sexual risk-taking, including age of sexual onset, past-year and lifetime frequency of sexual intercourse, and number of sexual partners. After controlling for age, race, socioeconomic status, and family cohesion, male jocks reported more frequent dating than nonjocks but female jocks did not. For both genders, athletic activity was associated with lower levels of sexual risk-taking; however, jock identity was associated with higher levels of sexual risk-taking, particularly among African American adolescents. Future research should distinguish between subjective and objective dimensions of athletic involvement as factors in adolescent sexual risk.Keywords jock identity; athletic activity; sexual risk; adolescent; gender; race Despite declines in overall adolescent sexual activity over the past decade (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2002;Santelli et al., 2000), sexual risk-taking (e.g., multiple partners, sexual precocity, unprotected intercourse) remains a substantial danger to US youth. Each year, American adolescents experience nearly a million unintended pregnancies and more than 4 times that many new cases of sexually transmitted diseases (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Strategies to reduce sexual risk have commonly employed narrowly focused approaches such as contraceptive distribution, sex education, and abstinence programs To whom correspondence should be directed at the Research Institute on Addictions, 1021 Main Street, Buffalo, New York 14203; email: kmiller@ria.buffalo.edu.

In their search for interventions that reduce sexual risk-taking, some researchers and policy-makers have begun to cast a wider net that addresses the larger social and developmental contexts of adolescents' daily lives, including routine behaviors for which the linkage to sexual risk outcomes is indirect (Kirby, 1997;Males, 1993). Adolescent athletic involvement constitutes one such area of interest. The present study examined the gender-and race-specific relationships among two distinct dimensions of athletic involvement (specifically, frequency of athletic activity and "jock" identity), dating, and sexual risk-taking in one longitudinal sample of Western New York adolescents. SPORTS AND ADOLESCENT SEXUAL RISKRecent research has identified adolescent athletic participation as a promising avenue for promoting sexually responsible behavior, particularly among girls. Female athletes at the high school and college levels report less freq...

“…Pourtant, le contexte de la sexualité demande aussi à être approfondi afin d'acquérir des ancrages et une compréhension globale (Brooks-Gunn et Furstenberg, 1989 ;Miller et Moore, 1990). Comment, par exemple, convaincre de l'usage constant du condom un jeune couple qui se considère comme stable ?…”

“…C'est l'accent mis sur le lien affectif et sur la sexualité qui distingue garçons et filles dans leurs amours. De plus, le discours des jeunes décrit souvent des valeurs et des attitudes responsables, décriant même l'âge auquel ils ont euxmêmes eu leur première relation coïtale (Miller et Moore, 1990) ; la difficulté réside plutôt dans l'actualisation de ces valeurs et attitudes (Zabin et Hayward, 1993).…”

Résumé de l'article L'animation théâtrale a été utilisée durant trois périodes scolaires en guise d'outil d'intervention préventive en matière de MTS-sida, auprès de 90 élèves de quatrième secondaire d'une polyvalente de la région de Québec. Cette expérience visait la promotion de la discussion entre l'élève et son ou sa partenaire à propos de leur sexualité et des diverses conduites de protection, dont l'utilisation du condom. La présente recherche a pour but d'évaluer les effets de cette intervention préventive. Un devis quasi expérimental quantitatif a donc été adopté. De plus, douze élèves des groupes expérimentaux (six filles et six garçons) ont été rencontrés en entrevue semi-dirigée. Les filles et les garçons réagissent différemment à l'animation théâtrale. Une attention particulière est apportée à la réaction distinctive des garçons; ces derniers nous fournissent des éclairages sur eux-mêmes et des pistes à poursuivre.
