Adolescent Non-Sexual and Sex-Related Problem Behaviors Journal of Adolescent Research 7,4 (October 1992): 431-456.

The association between adolescent sexual behavior and problem behaviors is assessed in a sample of male and female adolescents from the NLSY. Preliminary analyses indicate that there are linear associations between age and sexual status (virgin, sexually active but never pregnant, or parents) and involvement in four types of problem behaviors: school-related, personal violence, drug use, and stealing. Log-linear models are being tested to formally test these relationships and how they might differ among males and females, and to further assess the effects of other independent variables (e.g., religiosity, urban vs. rural, SES, etc.). |

Attitudes and Adolescent Nonmarital Childbearing: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Journal of Adolescent Research 6,4 (October 1991): 470-492. Also: http://jar.sagepub.com/content/6/4/470.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Attitudes; Childbearing; Childbearing, Adolescent; Family Influences; Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Self-Esteem; Teenagers; Work Attitudes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This research studied the relationship between adolescent nonmarital childbearing and self-esteem, locus of control, and attitudes toward women's family roles, school, and work. 1,184 girls were drawn from the NLSY, a nationally representative data base containing information on attitudes obtained before nonmarital childbearing occurred. Subjects were surveyed at age 14-15 years in 1979; by age 19 years, 16.9% of the subjects had a nonmarital child. The evidence shows that higher self-esteem and more positive attitudes toward school have been associated with a lower probability of nonmarital childbearing. Subjects with nontraditional views on family and gender roles, higher educational expectations, and strong locus of control were less likely to have become unwed mothers. [PsycINFO] |
