Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of SDA emerging adults (N = 558) to remain sexually abstinent prior to marriage in spite of pressures to engage in such act. The researchers explored whether gender and racial differences exist among this group. The results showed a significant difference between SDA emerging males and females regarding their levels of self-efficacy (t (df=372) = 2.207; p < .05), and a significant difference among SDA emerging Caucasians, African Americans and other races as it relates to their levels of self-efficacy (F (df 2, 555) = 6.602, p < .05). The researchers recommend that religious institutions focus on the factors that influence the levels of self-efficacy, rather than simply emphasizing a sexually-abstinent lifestyle.

SDA新生成人自我效能感与性纯洁:双变量分析*

摘要:本研究的目的是检查SDA新生成人(N = 558)在婚前保持性节制的能力，尽管有这种行为的压力。研究人员探究了这一群体中是否存在性别和种族差异。结果显示，SDA新生男女在自我效能水平上存在显著差异(t (df=372) = 2.207;p < 0.05)，在SDA新兴高加索人、非洲裔美国人和其他种族之间，自我效能感水平存在显著差异(F (df 2, 555) = 6.602, p < 0.05)。研究人员建议宗教机构关注影响自我效能水平的因素，而不是简单地强调禁欲的生活方式。
