To examine the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of maternal abstinence attitudes, adolescent-maternal relationship satisfaction, and the occurrence in the ensuing 12 months of: (a) sexual intercourse, (b) the use of birth control at intercourse, and (c) the occurrence of pregnancy. We also examined the accuracy of adolescents in perceiving the attitudes of their mothers as well as factors that predicted underestimations of these attitudes. Finally, the study evaluated the relative predictive power of adolescent perceptions of maternal abstinence attitudes and the actual maternal abstinence attitudes.

PIP: This prospective study examined the relationship between adolescents' perceptions of maternal abstinence attitude, adolescent-maternal relationship satisfaction, and the occurrence in the ensuing 12 months of sexual intercourse, the use of birth control during intercourse, and the occurrence of pregnancy. It further examined the accuracy of adolescents in perceiving the attitudes of their mothers as well as factors that predicted underestimations of these attitudes. The study also evaluated the relative predictive power of adolescent perceptions of maternal abstinence attitude and the actual maternal abstinence attitude. Included in the study were approximately 10,000 adolescents in grades 7-11 who completed 2 interviews in their homes at a 1-year interval. The analysis showed that perceived maternal opposition to sex and relationship satisfaction, as well as the occurrence of pregnancy was predictive of sexual intercourse. The more adolescents perceived disapproval from their mothers and the more satisfied they were in their maternal-adolescent relationship, the less likely adolescents were to initiate sexual activity or to become pregnant. In addition, only relationship satisfaction was noted to be predictive of the use of birth control. Overall, the results highlight the importance of adolescents' perceptions of maternal attitudes in determining sexual risk behaviors. Since adolescents may misperceive the attitudes of parents, communication between parent and teen should be enforced.
