Abstract:
|
There is a wealth of literature which focuses on the relationship between family structure and teenage sexual behavior, however very few have examined the differences between single-mother and single-father families. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) which consists of a nationally representative sample of adolescents from 80 U.S. high schools and 52 middle schools, this study explores the possible differences between single-parent families and their effects on age of first sexual intercourse among teens. There is a familiar point of departure in this study in that effects of single-parent families on age at first sexual intercourse are examine using socialization, parental support model and parental control model. My findings are consistent with the parental support model and parental control model, but provide little support for the socialization perspective. |
