Assisting communication between parents and adolescents Demographic and Psychological Predictors of Parent--Adolescent Communication About Sex: A Representative Statewide Analysis. 父母 –青少年关于性的沟通的人口学和心理学预测指标：全州范围的代表性样本分析 关于性的沟通（以下简称性沟通）是父母子女间传递性价值，信念，期待和知识的主要手段。尽管这个领域已经受到了相当多的注意，为了确保这些发现反映了整个人群的兴趣，更多的代表性样本的研究是需要的。本研究取样自美国一个庞大且多样化的州，被试是有青少年孩子的家庭，目的是审视父母与他们的青少年子女之间的性沟通的内容和程度，以及所选择的主要人口学变量（年龄和性别），社会人口学变量（西班牙语民族，教育，和宗教活动的出席率），以及心理学变量（自我报告的轻松，知识，以及性沟通的困难）这些因素对于所讨论话题的数量的影响。超过2/3的父母都报告说体验到某种性沟通的困难，诸如成长的担忧，和难堪。分层回归的结果表明，自我报告的轻松，知识，以及性沟通的困难都很强势地预测了所讨论话题的数量，其影响超过了人口学变量。这些发现强化了这样一个观念，即父母与青少年之间的性沟通可以是普遍地具有挑战性，而所有的父母，不论其性别，年龄和各种社会人口学变量如何，都可以从教育和支持中受益。 Sexual communication is a principal means of transmitting sexual values, beliefs, expectations, and knowledge between parents and children. Although this area has received considerable research attention, more studies with representative samples are needed to assure that findings are reflective of populations of interest. A representative statewide sample of households with adolescents (N = 907) from a large and diverse state in the United States was employed to examine the content and extent of sexual communication between parents and their adolescents, and the influence of selected primary demographic (age and gender), socio-demographic (Hispanic ethnicity, education, and religious attendance), and psychological (self-reported comfort, knowledge, and sexual communication difficulties) factors on the number of topics discussed. More than two-thirds of the parents reported experiencing some type of sexual communication difficulty, such as developmental concerns and embarrassment. Hierarchical regression results indicated that self-reported comfort, knowledge, and sexual communication difficulties strongly predicted the number of topics discussed, beyond the effect of demographic variables. These findings reinforce the notion that sexual communication between parents and adolescents can be universally challenging, and parents of bo
