背景:

イギリスにおける10代の妊娠率と性感染症 (STD) の高い割合は,早期の性行為に関する研究を必要とします.
第2回全国性的態度とライフスタイル調査 (Natsal 2000) は,これらの問題に関する最新データを提供します.

研究の目的:

イギリスの若者の早期性行為の傾向を分析する.
10代の妊娠,性感染症,および関連する結果を決定する要因を特定する.

主な方法:

イギリスの16歳から44歳の男性と女性11,161人を対象に,1999年から2001年の間に確率サンプル調査を実施した.
データ収集には,コンピュータによるインタビューと,性病歴,避妊,妊娠,性感染症に関する自己回答のアンケートが含まれていました.

主要な成果:

16歳以前に初めて異性交をしたと報告した女性の割合は1990年代半ばまで増加したが,増加は続かなかった.
コンドームの使用は増加し,最初の性交時の避妊手段の非使用は年齢とともに減少しています.
早期の初交際は10代の妊娠と関連しており,低学歴は早期の母性に関連している.

結論:

女性の早期性交の増加傾向は安定しているようです.
保護されていない最初の性交はティーンエイジャーの間ではまれで,早期の母性は,家族の背景よりも教育レベルと強く関連しています.

Mate Choice

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Natural Selection and Mating Preferences

The principle of natural selection posits that organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This principle is closely intertwined with mating preferences, a key aspect of sexual selection, which evolutionary psychologists believe is driven by instincts to propagate one's genes. Such instincts significantly influence mating behaviors and preferences between genders.

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital

The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12. During this stage, sexual energy shifts from self-focused interests to external individuals, marking the development of mature adult sexuality. Freud saw this phase as a time of sexual reawakening, with desires directed toward others outside the family. A healthy transition into this stage, according to Freud, signifies the emergence of two key aspects of adult...

Amebiasis

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
