Abstract:

Using data from a longitudinal survey of adolescents, the present study examined the effects of parental monitoring and parent-child communication about sex on adolescents’ subsequent initiation of sexual intercourse. Controlling for baseline sexual behavior, adolescents’ reports of monitoring and communication at round 1 were used to predict sexual intercourse at round 2. Bivariate results indicated that parental monitoring significantly decreased the odds of sexual initiation; however, once relevant covariates were added to the model, including sensation-seeking and relationship status, the effect of monitoring was no longer statistically significant. Parent-child communication about sex was positively associated with sexual initiation, and this result persisted after controls were added to the model. A 1-point increase in the communication scale was associated with a 38% increase in the odds of sexual initiation.
