The sample included 799 U.S. adolescents, 15-18 years old. The abstinence motivation measure included 10 items, with five items each for controlled and autonomous abstinence motivations. The measure demonstrated strong psychometrics properties and validity. Controlled and autonomous motivations to abstain from sex and alcohol both correlated negatively with sex and alcohol behaviors. However, in structural equation models only autonomous abstinence motivation for a specific behavior predicted that behavior. A mediation model also found that autonomous but not controlled abstinence motivations mediated relations between religious involvement and risk behaviors. This study generated a theoretical-based measure of adolescent abstinence motivation. Additionally, autonomous abstinence motivations more strongly and uniquely predicted sex and alcohol behaviors than controlled abstinence motivations.","PeriodicalId":47792,"journal":{"name":"Applied Developmental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43727443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three findings stood out: 1) Older children employed a rich set of indigenous duty concepts, thereby also using the Ethic of Community more than younger children. 2) Younger children already reasoned in terms of the Ethic of Divinity. 3) High-SES children used the Ethic of Autonomy more than low-SES children and conceptualized the individual in independent and psychological terms; whereas low-SES children’s view of autonomy invoked fear of physical punishment.
