Het verband tussen de kwaliteit van de ouder-kindrelatie, ouderlijke gedragscontrole, kwaliteit van de vriendschapsrelatie en druk van leeftijdsgenoten enerzijds en seksueel risicogedrag van adolescenten anderzijds

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the quality of the parent-child relationship, parental behavioural control, the quality of friendship relationships and peer pressure on the one hand and the sexual risk behaviour of adolescents on the other. In this study, sexual risk taking is defined as teen pregnancy and STDs. Gender is seen as a moderator. The participants (n = 58) ranged from 12 to 16 years of age, of which 65,5% were boys. The adolescents completed online questionnaires at school about sexuality. No significant correlations or moderating effects were found as regards both the connection between parents and the sexual risk behaviour of adolescents or as regards the connection between peers and the sexual risk behaviour of adolescents. Future studies are advised to make use of a larger sample range.
