ABSTRACT

Television narratives present conflicting information regarding heterosexual, adolescent sexuality. In response to this, the present study examined the associations between adolescent girls’ (N = 419, Mage = 16.37, SD = 1.36) sexually oriented television viewing and their expectations in romantic and sexual relationships in two related domains. Results showed that sexually oriented teen television viewing was positively associated with adolescent girls’ endorsement of the sexual double standard in relationships and earlier expectations about the timing of sexual activities in relationships. This relationship did not differ by levels of perceived television realism, and remained even after controlling for covariates.

摘要

电视叙事提供了关于异性恋和青少年性行为的相互矛盾的信息。针对这一点，本研究调查了青春期女孩（N = 419，M年龄 = 16.37，SD  = 1.36）以性为导向的电视观看与她们在两个相关领域对浪漫和性关系的期望之间的关联。结果表明，以性取向的青少年电视观看与青春期女孩对关系中性双重标准的认可以及对关系中性活动时间的早期期望呈正相关。这种关系在感知的电视现实主义水平上没有差异，即使在控制协变量后仍然存在。
