Moving Toward a More Comprehensive Standard for Sex Education
While sex education has been linked to adolescent health, few studies have examined how comprehensiveness of school-based sex education may promote young adult sexual wellbeing. The current study used latent class analysis to examine patterns in the comprehensiveness of topics included in sex education among a national sample of young adults ( N = 676). Many participants had not received sex education (40%) or had received sex education that was …
Critical media attitudes as a buffer against the harmful effects of pornography on beliefs about sexual and dating violence
Pornography often depicts traditional gender norms and aggression paired with sexual behaviour. Among adolescents, exposure to pornography is related to unhealthy beliefs about gender, sex and relationships. Critical thinking about media may reduce the internalisation of unhealthy messages in pornography. However, there is a dearth of research examining how critical media attitudes are protective of youth in early adolescence. Using a US sample o…
A Media Literacy Education Approach to High School Sexual Health Education
Exploring Parent-gender Differences in Parent and Adolescent Reports of the Frequency, Quality, and Content of Their Sexual Health Communication
Parent-adolescent sexual health communication (SHC) is a protective factor that can reduce adverse adolescent sexual health outcomes, and the frequency, quality, and content of SHC predicts its effectiveness. However, research on this topic has been limited in scope, overwhelmingly focused on mothers; and often has only included the parent or adolescent perspective, not both members of the dyad. Using secondary cross-sectional data, this study us…
Rape Myth Acceptance Reflects Perceptions of Media Portrayals as Similar to Others, but Not the Self
Understanding the antecedents and consequences of rape myths is important for sexual assault prevention programming. We investigated whether general perceptions of media predict rape myth endorsement among community college students, a group with elevated sexual assault risk. Students who perceived greater similarity between people they know and people in media reported higher endorsement of rape myths that blame the victim and exonerate the accu…

Understanding the unique role of media message processing in predicting adolescent sexual behavior intentions in the USA
This study investigated the role that media message processing variables stemming from the Message Interpretation Process (MIP) model play in adolescents' intentions to engage in sexual activity. Data collected from 873 adolescents in the United States were examined in an ordered logistic regression model containing demographic variables; attitudes; self-efficacy; parent and peer normative beliefs; and media message processing variables. The anal…
Boys Earn, Girls Buy
The Web is becoming an increasingly ubiquitous medium in children's lives, and toy brands frequently use Web sites to promote their products to children. Research has shown that exposure to affluence and materialistic behavior on television over time is correlated with materialistic values in children, but little research has explored the amount and types of materialistic content that children are exposed to on the Web. Furthermore, given that so…
