The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether manipulated and biographical parent disengagement were associated with sexually risky attitudes and intentions. College women (N = 140) completed an online experiment in which they were asked to recall a time when one of their parents (father or mother) was either engaged or disengaged, write about it, and then complete a series of inventories measuring their sexual attitudes, sexual intentions, and biographical information. Experimental data were analyzed using a 2 (Parent Prime: father or mother) × 2 (Engagement Prime: engaged or disengaged) ANCOVA, with the Mini-K (Figueredo et al., Developmental Review 26:243–275, 2006) as the covariate. Experimental results showed a significant main effect for the engagement prime on sexually risky attitudes and intentions, F(1, 98) = 4.34, p = .04, \({\eta }_{partial}^{2}\) = .04. Women who recalled a time when a parent was disengaged (M = 24.25, SD = 6.84), endorsed more sexually risky attitudes and intentions than those who recalled a time when a parent was engaged (M = 21.83, SD = 7.31). Consistent with these results, correlational analyses also revealed that childhood and current biographical parent disengagement were significantly associated with sexually risky attitudes and intentions. Results are discussed from an evolutionary perspective using Life History Theory.

本研究的目的是调查是否操纵和传记父母的脱离与性危险的态度和意图有关。女大学生（N = 140）完成了一个在线实验，要求他们回忆一下父母（父亲或母亲）订婚或脱离婚约的时间，写下有关的内容，然后完成一系列评估其性态度和性意向的清单以及传记信息。实验数据是使用2（亲子素数：父亲或母亲）×2（亲子素数：已婚或脱离婚约）ANCOVA进行分析的，其中Mini-K（Figueredo等，Developmental Review 26：243-275，2006）作为样本。协变量 实验结果表明，订婚初婚对性危险的态度和意图有显着的主要影响，F（1，98）= 4.34 ，p  = .04，\（{\ eta} _ {partial} ^ {2} \） =。 04。回想父母离婚的时候的女性（M  = 24.25，SD  = 6.84），比那些回想起父母订婚的时间（M  = 21.83，SD  = 7.31），他们更认可性危险的态度和意图。与这些结果一致的是，相关分析还表明，儿童时期和当前的传记父母离婚与性危险的态度和意图显着相关。使用生命历史理论从进化的角度讨论了结果。
