Positive and Negative Outcomes of Sexual Behaviors : New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, Number 144 PDF
Edited by Eva S. Lefkowitz, Sara A. Vasilenko
Description
Developing healthy sexual behaviors is critical to adolescents wellbeing. While more emphasis has been on negative outcomes, there are broad positive implications for physical health, mental health, intimate relationships, and identity development. To fully understand the impact, we need to understand both. In addition, the impact of sexual behavior is not universal, but may differ based on individuals demographic, relational, contextual, and attitudinal factors.
This volume provides a framework for understanding the complex role of sexual behavior in adolescents lives, with a specific focus on the roles of sexual minority status, internet-based sexual experiences, relationship context, and sexual learning through formal and informal sex education in determining the outcomes of sexual behavior. It provides:
- A nuanced, multidimensional understanding of the role of sexual behavior in shaping adolescents development and well-being
- Important directions for future research
- Recommendations for sexuality education, prevention, and intervention programs.
