DESCRIPTION: The primary aim of the present research is to examine factors associated with sexual risk taking in Latino youth. The project seeks to examine social, familial, and cultural forces that impact adolescent sexual decision making in samples of diverse (Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Dominican) Latino populations. The focus will be on Latino adolescents transitioning from middle school to high school and who reside in the South Bronx, New York City. The aims are (1) to examine the role of two core Latino cultural constructs, "familismo" and "machismo/marianismo" in the formation of adolescent romantic relationships and the engagement in sexual risk activity, (2) to examine the relationship between parental embracement of familismo and machismo/marianismo and the extent to which their children embrace these concepts, (3) to elucidate the developmental dynamics of the above as adolescents transition from middle school to high school, (4) to examine Latino adolescent and parental conceptions of preferred partners and activities that are appropriate for "couples" in a healthy relationship and to explore the implications of these for sexual risk taking, and (5) to examine how acculturation related stress impacts the above and to test the generalizability of the above across different Latino subgroups. The proposed project has a 2X3X5 factorial design. The first factor is gender (male versus female), the second factor is Latino ethnicity (Dominican versus Mexican versus Puerto Rican) and the third factor (a repeated measure factor) is time of assessment. We will interview both adolescents and their mothers on five separate assessment occasions. The final sample size will be approximately 125 mother-adolescent dyads per cell representing a total of 750 dyads in total.

描述： 本研究的主要目的是调查与拉丁裔青少年性冒险行为相关的因素。该项目旨在研究影响不同拉丁裔（墨西哥、波多黎各和多米尼加）样本的青少年性决策的社会、家庭和文化力量。重点将放在从初中过渡到高中并居住在纽约市南布朗克斯的拉丁裔青少年。目的是（1）研究两种核心拉丁文化结构“家庭主义”和“大男子主义/玛丽亚主义”在青少年浪漫关系的形成和性风险活动中的作用，（2）研究父母之间的关系对家庭主义和大男子主义/玛丽亚主义的接受程度以及他们的孩子接受这些概念的程度，(3) 阐明青少年从初中过渡到高中时上述概念的发展动态， (4) 研究拉丁裔青少年和父母对健康关系中“情侣”的首选伴侣和活动的看法，并探讨这些对性冒险的影响，以及 (5) 研究与文化适应相关的压力如何影响并测试上述内容在不同拉丁裔亚群体中的普遍性。拟议项目采用 2X3X5 因子设计。第一个因素是性别（男性与女性），第二个因素是拉丁裔种族（多米尼加人、墨西哥人、波多黎各人），第三个因素（重复测量因素）是评估时间。我们将在五个不同的评估场合采访青少年及其母亲。最终样本量约为每个细胞 125 个母-青少年二元组，总共 750 个二元组。
