Abstract

Youth sexuality is a fascinating phenomenon, characterized by multiple manifestations; linked to multiple ecological correlates; and developed through multiple pathways. As this diversity of developmental pathways indicates a need for utilizing a dynamic systems (DS) approach to model typical changes and transitions in youth’s sexual trajectories, this chapter presents an overview of how this approach is represented in the current literature. I first sketch dynamics in the approach of youth sexuality research over the past decades, after which I summarize trends in longitudinal research, focusing on a distinction between macro-, meso-, and micro-time development. After illustrating current applications of a DS approach in youth sexuality research, I discuss how the DS approach can be further incorporated in future research. In the final section, I argue how improving our understanding of youth’s sexual relationships and development through a DS approach leads to improved practical applicability for relational and sexual health promotion strategies.
青少年的性关系及其发展
青少年性行为是一种令人着迷的现象,其特征是多种表现;与多种生态相关的;并通过多种途径发展。由于这种发展途径的多样性表明需要利用动态系统(DS)方法来模拟青少年性轨迹的典型变化和转变,本章概述了这种方法在当前文献中的表现。我首先概述了过去几十年来青少年性研究方法的动态,然后总结了纵向研究的趋势,重点是宏观、中观和微观时间发展之间的区别。在说明了当前DS方法在青少年性研究中的应用之后,我将讨论如何将DS方法进一步纳入未来的研究中。在最后一节,我将讨论如何通过DS方法提高我们对青少年性关系和发展的理解,从而提高关系和性健康促进策略的实际适用性。
