“…Restrictive norms about non-marital sexual activities among immigrant populations (Kim & Ward, 2007) may reduce first generation women’s risk-taking in sexual relationships. Our findings for young adult women extend findings from past research on adolescents showing that foreign-born adolescents engage in less sexual risk taking than the native-born (Becker et al, 2014; Deutsch & Crockett, 2015; Guarini et al, 2015; Hussey et al, 2007; Karoly et al, 2015). …”

“…Among adolescents, high quality relationships with parents protect against risky sexual behavior for both native born (Halpern et al, 2006; Kao & Manczak, 2013; Markham et al, 2010) and immigrant populations (Kao et al, 2014; Karoly et al, 2015; Lam et al, 2008; Trejos-Castillo & Vazsonyi, 2008). A sense of connectedness to parents and communicating with parents about both general and sexual topics was associated with lower levels of ever having sex, lower likelihood of early sexual debut, less frequent sex, higher rates of contraceptive use, and lower pregnancy and birth rates among adolescents (Markham et al, 2010).…”

In studies that consider nativity, for Hispanic youth of different generations, communication about sex with mothers and maternal support protect against early sexual onset and risky sexual behaviors in adolescence (Karoly et al, 2015; Trejos-Castillo & Vazsonyi, 2008; Velez-Pastrana et al, 2005). …”

Parents’ influence on young adult sexual behavior receives little attention compared to influence on adolescent behavior. Yet effective parenting should have lasting effects. Even fewer studies examine parents’ influence on sexual behavior of both foreign and native-born young adults. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) Waves I (1994–95) and III (2001–02), we examine longitudinal associations among mother-daughter relationship quality and nativity during adolescence and young adults’ risky sexual behaviors of condom use at last intercourse, number of sexual partners, and STI diagnoses (N=4,460). Women, 18 to 26 years old, who had good mother-adolescent daughter relationships have fewer partners and STIs in the past year. Second generation women have worse mother-adolescent daughter relationships, compared to third generation. Relationship quality does not explain associations between nativity and risky behavior. Lasting associations between relationship quality and risk behaviors suggest that reproductive health interventions should enhance motheradolescent relationships.

“…See Table for descriptive statistics and correlations in the overall sample and divided by gender. As shown in Table , results indicated that both perceived maternal and paternal overprotection were significantly associated with lower levels of RSB, as evidenced previously (Karoly, Callahan, Schmiege, & Feldstein Ewing, ; Nelson et al., ; Sylvester, ). Higher levels of perceived maternal and paternal overprotection also were significantly associated with higher levels of emerging adult peer alienation, and higher levels of peer alienation were associated with lower levels of RSB.…”

Emerging Adult Risky Sexual Behavior Predicted by Parental Overprotection: Moderated Mediation Analysis

Parental control behaviors are suggested to be related to emerging adult outcomes, such as risky sexual behavior. Although parental control behaviors are more likely to be considered protective against risky sexual behavior, the relation between parental overprotection and risky sexual behavior is unclear. Furthermore, parental overprotection may influence peer selection and prosocial behaviors in emerging adults, which may in turn influence outcomes of risky sexual behavior, as suggested by primary socialization theory. Thus, the current study investigated the relations among paternal and maternal overprotection, emerging adult peer alienation, and risky sexual behavior, and expanded on these relations by examining gender effects of both parents and children. The sample consisted of 505 participants (228 males and 277 females) ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. Analyses were conducted with AMOS path analysis and indicated that peer alienation mediated the effect between both maternal and paternal perceived overprotection and risky sexual behavior, but more strongly for males, suggesting moderated mediation. Overall, parental overprotection may be protective against risky sexual behavior via pathways that are harmful such as peer alienation, thus recommending research continues to clarify the nuances of these relations.

“…These behaviors serve to strengthen parent-child affectional ties, and are a buffer against involvement with deviant peers (i.e. reduce the impact of deviant influences, Wills et al, 2018 ; Karoly et al, 2016 ). Conversely, adverse family factors, such as family conflict, operate indirectly, but also predict earlier and heavier substance use.…”

Neurodevelopmental maturation takes place in a social environment in addition to a neurobiological one. Characterization of social environmental factors that influence this process is therefore an essential component in developing an accurate model of adolescent brain and neurocognitive development, as well as susceptibility to change with the use of marijuana and other drugs. The creation of the Culture and Environment (CE) measurement component of the ABCD protocol was guided by this understanding. Three areas were identified by the CE Work Group as central to this process: influences relating to CE Group membership, influences created by the proximal social environment, influences stemming from social interactions. Eleven measures assess these influences, and by time of publication, will have been administered to well over 7,000 9-10 year-old children and one of their parents. Our report presents baseline data on psychometric characteristics (mean, standard deviation, range, skewness, coefficient alpha) of all measures within the battery. Effectiveness of the battery in differentiating 9-10 year olds who were classified as at higher and lower risk for marijuana use in adolescence was also evaluated. Psychometric characteristics on all measures were good to excellent; higher vs. lower risk contrasts were significant in areas where risk differentiation would be anticipated.

Abstract: Rather than direct evidence supporting the Hispanic Paradox, we found a more nuanced relationship for generational status in this sample.
