Abstract

Research has demonstrated that social-ecological risk and protective factors at multiple levels are associated with sexual behavior in adolescence. However, relatively little is known about how different patterns of these factors may work together in combination to influence sexual risk. In this study, we use nationally representative data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to (a) uncover latent classes of adolescent social-ecological risk and protective factors, (b) examine how membership in these classes differs by demographic characteristics, and (c) examine how these classes are associated with concurrent adolescent and later young adult sexual behavior. We selected a model with seven latent classes: protected, no romantic relationship (25%), permissive peer norms (16%), poverty/single-parent home (16%), peer disconnection (16%), protected, in romantic relationship (10%), multidimensional risks (9%), and family and community disconnection (8%). In general, participants in the permissive peer norms and multidimensional risks classes were most likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors; and those in the protected, no romantic relationship, and peer disconnection classes were least likely. Findings suggest a combined impact of multiple risk factors on both adolescent and young adult sexual behaviors as well as the unique role of peer risk.

青少年社会生态风险和保护因素与青少年性行为的多维概况。

研究表明，社会生态风险和保护因素在多个层面上与青少年性行为有关。然而，对于这些因素的不同模式如何共同影响性风险，人们知之甚少。在这项研究中，我们使用了来自美国国家青少年到成人健康纵向研究的具有全国代表性的数据来(a)揭示青少年社会生态风险和保护因素的潜在类别，(b)检查这些类别的成员如何因人口统计学特征而不同，以及(c)检查这些类别如何与青少年和后来的青年性行为相关。我们选择了一个具有七个潜在类别的模型：受保护的，没有浪漫关系（25%），宽容的同伴规范（16%），贫困/单亲家庭（16%），同伴断开（16%），受保护的，在浪漫关系中（10%），多维风险（9%），以及家庭和社区断开（8%）。总体而言，宽容同伴规范和多维风险类别的参与者最有可能从事性风险行为；而那些受保护的、没有恋爱关系的、与同伴断绝关系的班级里的人患病的可能性最低。研究结果表明，多种风险因素对青少年和年轻人的性行为有综合影响，同伴风险也起着独特的作用。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
