Abstract

Given that parental practices play significant role in the initiation of premarital sex among adolescents and youths, the present study examined the association between parenting styles and attitude towards premarital sex among 235 undergraduates (age range = 16-30) of a public university in Nigeria. Two structured psychological tests which include Buri’s Parenting Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) and Attitude towards Premarital Sex Questionnaire (ATPSQ) were adopted for data collection. Data were analyzed using linear regression. Result showed that for every one unit in paternal authoritative style, there was .31 decrease in premarital sexual attitudes (p = .047). Also, for every one unit in maternal permissiveness, there was .35 increase in premarital sexual attitudes (p = .015). The male gender was associated with positive disposition towards engaging in premarital sex [β = .16, p = .016]. After con trolling for g ender, the influence of paternal authoritativeness on premarital sexual attitudes became non-significant [β = .22, p = .20] whereas maternal permissiveness was [β = -.14, p = .03]. Collectively, findings suggest differences of paternal and maternal rearing patterns on attitudes towards premarital sex. Keywords: Parental practices, Paternal, Maternal, Premarital sexual attitudes, Gender

在一些选定的学术环境中，父母教养方式对婚前性行为态度的差异

鉴于父母的做法在青少年和青年的婚前性行为中起着重要作用，本研究调查了尼日利亚一所公立大学235名本科生(年龄范围为16-30岁)的父母教养方式与婚前性行为态度之间的关系。采用Buri教养权威问卷(PAQ)和婚前性行为态度问卷(ATPSQ)两种结构化心理测试进行数据收集。数据采用线性回归分析。结果显示，父权风格每增加1个单位，婚前性态度减少0.31个单位(p = 0.047)。此外，每增加一个单位的母亲纵容，婚前性态度增加0.35 (p = 0.015)。男性与婚前性行为的积极倾向相关[β = 0.16, p = 0.016]。在对性别进行控制后，父亲权威性对婚前性态度的影响变得不显著[β = .22, p = .20]，而母亲宽容性对婚前性态度的影响[β = -]。14, p = .03]。总体而言，研究结果表明父亲和母亲的养育方式对婚前性行为的态度存在差异。关键词:父母行为，父亲，母亲，婚前性态度，性别
