OBJECTIVE This study examines the sexual socialization experiences of Asian American emerging adults by assessing the content and frequency of parent and peer sexual communication and their links to sexual experience and reasons for abstinence. METHOD In addition to reports of parent and peer communication on four discourses-abstinence until marriage, gendered sexual roles, acceptance of casual sex, and sex is taboo-154 college students (44% female, M = 19.21 years old) also reported on language use with parents, percentage of best friends who were Asian, and parent rules regarding dating and time spent with friends. RESULTS As expected, peer communication was more frequent and more permissive than parent communication, and women reported receiving far more restrictive messages than did men. Of parent messages, only those portraying sex as taboo was linked to stronger endorsement of abstinence to avoid physical risks, whereas proabstinence messages from friends were linked to endorsing abstinence for family and culture reasons, to avoid physical risks, and because of general discomfort. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that parent rules may be a primary means by which Asian parents are perceived as conveying their attitudes and expectations about sexuality and that same-race best friends serve simultaneously as sexual and cultural socialization agents.

亚裔美国人中性经历和禁欲原因的相关性。

目的本研究通过评估父母和同伴性交流的内容和频率及其与性经历的联系和禁欲的原因，来检验亚裔美国新兴成年人的性社会化经历。方法除了报道父母和同伴关于四种话语的沟通-禁欲直至结婚，性别角色，接受随意性行为和性行为外，还有禁忌154名大学生（女性占44％，M = 19.21岁）也有语言报道与父母一起使用，亚洲最好的朋友所占的百分比以及有关约会和与朋友度过的时间的父母规则。结果正如预期的那样，同伴交流比父母交流更频繁，更宽松，女性报告的限制性信息比男性多得多。在父邮件中，只有那些将性别描述为禁忌的人与对禁欲的强烈支持有关，以避免身体风险，而出于家庭和文化原因，避免身体风险以及由于普遍的不适感，朋友的禁欲信息与对禁欲的支持有关。结论研究结果表明，父母规则可能是一种主要手段，亚洲父母可以以此方式表达他们对性的态度和期望，同族最好的朋友同时充当性和文化社会化的推动者。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。结论研究结果表明，父母规则可能是一种主要手段，亚洲父母可以以此方式表达他们对性的态度和期望，同族最好的朋友同时充当性和文化社会化的推动者。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。结论研究结果表明，父母规则可能是一种主要手段，亚洲父母可以以此方式表达他们对性的态度和期望，同族最好的朋友同时充当性和文化社会化的推动者。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
