Previous research demonstrated the association between parent–adolescent relationship quality and deviant peer affiliation, but it is unclear whether this relation is mediated by other psychological and interpersonal variables, whether father– and mother–adolescent relationship quality have different pathways in predicting deviant peer affiliation, and whether gender moderates these associations. A sample of 543 students from grades 10 to 12 (42.7% male; age M = 16.2 years, SD = 1.0) was selected from a Chinese high school in Shenzhen, China. They provided demographic variables and completed self-report measures of father– and mother–adolescent relationship quality, self-control, friendship quality, and deviant peer affiliation. The results showed that lower father–adolescent relationship quality was associated with lower self-control, which in turn was associated with higher deviant peer affiliation. Mother–adolescent relationship quality did not have direct or indirect association with deviant peer affiliation. In addition, male and female adolescents had no significant difference in the associations between father– and mother–adolescent relationship quality, self-control, friendship quality, and deviant peer affiliation. Implications and limitations of these findings were discussed.

ABSTRACT. The risk-taking issue of sexual behavior at a young age often leads to bad damage for the teenager and its surroundings when viewed as an asset of a nation to engage in such an aspect of development, the preoccupation of sexual behavior must be overcome by involving a number of important factors among famlies, school, peers, religiousity, social media, and local cultural values. The aims of the discussion, then is to recognize the simultaneous impact of six preventive factors : risky sexual behavior on the teenager, and individual relationships with adolescent risky sexual behavior. The methods used are double-regression quantitative and the correlation by Karl Pearson. Participant engaged by 150 students (sevent – nine grade) with saturated technique sampling. The scales that used are  the parent-adolescent relationship scale (Hair, dkk., 2005), quality of school life scale (Eptein dan McPartland, 1998), CAYCI peer relationship scale : middle/high school student version (Butcher, dkk., 2016), the adolescent religious coping scale (Bjorck, 2009), outside and inside school media of behavior scale (Lu, dkk., 2018), cultural intelligence scale (Earley dan Ang, 2003), and the scale of risky sexual behavior. The result of the research hypothesis is accepted, which means there are simultaneous effect of six factors on adolescent risky sexual behavior with a value of 9,179 and of significance = 0,000, and there is a significant negative relationship between each factor and the risky sexual behavior of adolescents. The value of the six preventive factors is in high categroies, and the risky sexual behavior of adolescents is in a low category. This result indicates that six specific factors can be established as a primary mediator incoping with sexual behavior at risk for the adolescence of the platinum generation

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to examine the role of low self-control as a mediator or moderator between early age at sexual debut and risky sexual behavior in young adulthood. Methods Data on 5734 male and female Add Health participants were used. Self-control (waves 1 & 3), age at sexual debut (wave 3) and risky sexual behavior (wave 4) were used in a structural equation modeling framework to assess the relationships of interest. Results Approximately 17% of respondents were < 15 years at first sexual intercourse. Among females only, both early age at first intercourse (Parent-report: z = 5.08, p < .001; Self-report: z = 2.05, p < .05) and low self-control at wave 3 (Parent-report: z = 2.30, p < .05; Self-report: z = 2.31, p < .05) mediated the relationship between low self-control at wave 1 and risky sexual behaviors in young adulthood. Similarly in the male-only model, both early age at first intercourse (Parent-report: z = 2.92, p < .01; Self-report: z = 3.04, p < .01) and low self-control at wave 3 (Parent-report: z = 1.99, p < .05; Self-report: z = 3.15, p < .01) mediated the relationship between low self-control and risky sexual behaviors in young adulthood. There was evidence of moderation in the male-only model (− 0.26, p < .01), such that lower impulsivity strengthened the relationship between early sex and risky sex. Conclusions This study confirms the role of executive functions in sexual behaviors and suggests that interventions aimed at improving self-control may be beneficial in reducing risky sexual behavior.

Risky sexual behavior is more prevalent in emerging adult populations and emerging adults engaging in risky sexual behavior also may be experiencing higher levels of internalizing problems. Parents and their relationships with their children maintain relevance in emerging adulthood and may decrease negative outcomes. Thus, the current study examined whether parent–child relationship quality decreased the likelihood of risky sexual behavior via internalizing problems and examined gender dyads between parents and children. Participants included 502 emerging adults (172 males and 330 females) ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. Structural equation modeling analyses were conducted and indicated that internalizing problems mediated the relationship between parent (both paternal and maternal)–child relationship quality and risky sexual behavior for both males and females. Maternal–child relationship quality predicted lower internalizing problems more strongly for males than for females, suggesting moderated mediation. Thus, both mothers’ and fathers’ relationship with their children may affect risky sexual behavior indirectly via internalizing problems.
