摘要

Aim: To investigate sexual attitudes and their underlying factors in senior high school students in Taoyuan County.
Method: Multistage cluster proportional sampling and an anonymous questionnaire were used.
Results: In September and October of 2005, 1,019 students were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The response rate was 93.7%. A history of sexual activity was reported by 6% of male students and 5.3% of female students. On a scale from 1 to 4, the mean scores for five sexual attitude subscales were 2.37 for sexual ethics, 2.42 for premarital sex, 2.79 for interpersonal relationships, 2.85 for sex education, and 3.0 for contraceptives. There was a significant positive correlation between the subscales for premarital sex and sexual ethics (r=0.64, p＜0.0001). The sex education subscale was significantly negatively correlated with both the premarital sex and sexual ethics subscales (r=-0.32, p＜0.001 and r=-0.36, p＜0.001, respectively). The sex education subscale was positively correlated with the contraceptives subscale (r=0.19, p＜0.001). Regarding factors related to sexual attitudes, students in a higher academic year and students with a history of sexual activity tended to be more liberal in their attitudes toward premarital sex and sexual ethics. Female students tended to be more conservative than male students in the five sexual attitude subscales. Students with fathers who had high expectations of their children or who encouraged independent decision-making in their children had a more conservative attitude toward sexual ethics.
Suggestion: Our findings indicate that sex education is important. When providing sex education to senior high students, instructors should focus on the importance of positive attitudes towards sexual ethics, the equality of sexuality, respect between partners, and male responsibility for decision-making regarding sex. Moreover, safe sex and contraception should be taught so as to avoid undesired or adverse sexual outcomes.
