The Influence of Perceived Parenting Style and Contraceptive Self-Efficacy on College Student Contraceptive Use
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY REVIEW(2016)
Abstract
Few studies have examined the influence that parenting style has on the contraceptive use of college students. The current study explored the relationships between perceived parenting style, contraceptive attitudes, contraceptive self-efficacy, and contraceptive use in 270 college students. Analyses revealed that perceived parenting style had a relationship with contraceptive attitudes and when combined with contraceptive self-efficacy predicted contraceptive use. Findings suggest that for college students, both internal and external influences on beliefs contribute to contraceptive use and the parent-child relationship remains influential. Further research should explore specific aspects of parent-child communication that increase self-efficacy and subsequent contraceptive use. The implications of current results could inform the delivery of parent education and student sexual health programs.
