    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Family background variables such as race, religion, and gender of household head emerged as significant predictors of communication about sex in interviews conducted with a sample of mothers and teenage daughters. A suprising finding was a strong positive association between family religion and early sexual communication, although this may reflect a cautionary conservatism about children's sexual development. Mothers who were heads of households were more likely to communicate with daughters about sex than were mothers in male-headed homes. The data suggest that two of the most important predictors of frequency of current communication are the pattern of early mother-daughter communication and the quality of the relationship. Communication about sensitive topics is apparently less difficult in the adolescent years if it builds upon a general pattern of open communication. These findings support program initiatives that seek to strengthen families, and especially women in their role as mothers. (Author/CS)
