Abstract

Introduction: The widespread availability of the internet, coupled with adolescents' natural curiosity about sexuality, has created avenues for accessing pornographic websites. However, this curiosity, when not tempered with self-restraint, can lead adolescents into the habit of watching pornographic films. One significant consequence of engaging in this behavior is its potential to influence pre-marital sexual activity among adolescents. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between attitudes toward and the frequency of watching pornographic movies and pre-marital sexual behavior among adolescents in Sidoarjo.Methods: The study employed a descriptive analytics approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 138 adolescents was selected using probability sampling, specifically the cluster simple random sampling method. Two research instruments were utilized: the Cyber Pornography Use Inventory (CPUI) for gathering data on porn-watching activity and the Adolescent Sexual Activity Index (ASAI) for collecting information on sexual behavior. The data were then analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation method.Results: The findings indicated that the majority of students in Sidoarjo exhibited a non-supportive attitude category (48.6%, n= 67), with low engagement in watching porn movies (44.2%, n= 61), and most teenagers demonstrated low/less risky sexual behavior (63%, n= 87). Moreover, the results revealed significant relationships between attitudes and sexual behavior (P-value <0.001) as well as between watching porn and sexual behavior (P-value <0.001).Conclusions: This research suggests the importance of parental and teacher involvement in guiding and supervising adolescents to prevent engagement in risky behaviors such as watching pornography and engaging in pre-marital sexual activity. By actively monitoring their children and providing guidance, parents and teachers can play a crucial role in minimizing such behaviors and promoting adolescent reproductive health through counseling and education. Keywords: adolescent; attitude; porn-watching activity; pre-marital sex

青少年观看色情片的态度和活动与婚前性行为的关系

简介互联网的普及，加上青少年对性的天然好奇心，为访问色情网站提供了途径。然而，这种好奇心如果不加以自我克制，就会导致青少年养成观看色情电影的习惯。这种行为的一个重要后果是可能会影响青少年的婚前性行为。本研究旨在调查锡多阿若青少年观看色情电影的态度和频率与婚前性行为之间的相关性：研究采用了横断面设计的描述性分析方法。采用概率抽样法，特别是分组简单随机抽样法，抽取了 138 名青少年样本。研究使用了两种研究工具：网络色情使用情况量表（CPUI）用于收集色情观看活动的数据，青少年性活动指数（ASAI）用于收集性行为的信息。然后采用斯皮尔曼等级相关法对数据进行分析：研究结果表明，锡多乔市的大多数学生表现出不支持的态度（48.6%，n= 67），观看色情电影的参与度较低（44.2%，n= 61），大多数青少年的性行为风险较低/较少（63%，n= 87）。此外，研究结果显示，态度与性行为之间（P 值<0.001）以及观看色情电影与性行为之间（P 值<0.001）存在显著关系：这项研究表明，家长和教师必须参与指导和监督青少年，以防止他们参与观看色情制品和婚前性行为等危险行为。通过积极监督子女并提供指导，家长和教师可以发挥重要作用，最大限度地减少此类行为，并通过咨询和教育促进青少年生殖健康。关键词：青少年；态度；观看色情活动；婚前性行为
