Family Communication About Sex: What are Parents Saying and Are Their Adolescents Listening?

Abstract: Consistent with research among white samples, mothers of black and Hispanic adolescents are the primary parental communicators about sexual topics. To facilitate communication, educational programs for parents should cover not only what is discussed, but how the information is conveyed.

“…The findings of studies also suggest that comfort might be associated with frequency of conversations; research shows that the more parents converse about sex issues, the less discomfort they feel (DiIorio et al, 1996). Likewise, discussion of sexual issues increases when communication between the parent and the adolescent is considered more open (Miller, Kotchick et al, 1998).…”

“…Because parent-adolescent sex-based communication is now being considered a primary mode for HIV and pregnancy prevention for young people (Holtzmann & Rubinson, 1995;Leland & Barth, 1993), it is important to examine factors that are associated with this communication. Although the content and pattern of parent-adolescent sexbased communication have received considerable attention in the literature (Miller, Kotchick, Dorsey, Forehand, & Ham, 1998;Nolin & Peterson, 1992;Tucker, 1989), there has been little study of parental factors that might foster such communication. In order to better understand why some parents talk to their children about sex and others do not, we examined the role of two social cognitive variables in predicting sex-based communication.…”

“…Similarly, none of the included interventions explored whether intervention effects varied according to adolescent gender. Given that parental discussions about sex vary in frequency and content for adolescent boys and girls, 66,69,70 additional work is needed to determine if these interventions produce differential effects based on adolescent gender.…”

“…Autoři Lefkowitz a Stoppa (2006, s. 116) a Shtarkshall et al (2007) se shodují na tom, že sexuální socializace "je jedním z druhů socializace, který je typicky zahrnut v rodinném prostředí a směřován k ovlivňování dětí v rámci fyzického vývoje, fyzické náklonnosti, cudnosti, nahotě, genderových rozdílů, sexuálního chování, manželství apod.". Autoři hovoří o tom, že primárním prostředím pro tento druh socializace je rodina, a na základě prostudovaných výzkumů uvedených výše však můžeme říci, že primárním sexuálně socializačním činitelem je pak matka (Dilorio, Kelley, & Hockenberry-Eaton, 1999;Dilorio, Pluhar, & Belcher, 2003;Feldman & Rosenthal, 2000;Jerman & Constantine, 2010;King & Lorusso, 1997;Macdowall et al, 2006;Miller, Kotchick, Dorsey, Forehand, & Ham, 1998;Nolin & Petersen, 1992;Raffaelli, Bogenschneider, & Flood, 1998;Sprecher, Harris, & Meyers, 2008;Swain, Ackerman, & Ackerman, 2006;Weiss & Zvěřina, 2001). Já se v tomto příspěvku soustřeďuji právě na matku jako aktivní součást sexuální socializace a nositele rodinné sexuální kultury.…”
