“…The sample size for the above studies depended on the total student population, research design, and research question ( = 716.7; = 827.6). The sample size for the cross-sectional studies ranged between 55 (a single-site study in Vadodara, India, that compared medical and dental students [Agrawa, Sadadi, Dat, & Trived, 2013]) and 4,769 (a multisite study that examined sexual health knowledge among female undergraduate students from 16 colleges in China [Li et al, 2013]). The sample size for the qualitative studies ranged from 21 (Burchard et al, 2011) to 105 (Brown et al, 2008).…”

“…Contraception. Twenty-four studies (26%) investigated students' knowledge about various contraception methods, including oral contraception, condoms, and overall family planning (Agrawa et al, 2013;Ajmal, Agha, & Karim, 2011;Aygin & Fidan, 2012;Barbour & Salameh, 2009;Franklin & Dotger, 2011;Li et al, 2013;Reis, Ramiro, Matos, & Diniz, 2013;Simbar et al, 2005;Zhang, Maddock, & Li, 2010;Zhou et al, 2012). Ten of the 91 studies investigated students' knowledge about emergency contraception: four from the United States (Corbett, Mitchell, Taylor, & Kemppainen, 2006;Hickey, 2009;Miller, 2011;Sawyer & Thompson, 2003), four from African countries (Ahmed, Moussa, Petterson, & Asamoah, 2011;Aziken, Okonta, & Ande, 2003;Ebuehi, Ekanem, & Ebuehi, 2006;Kebede, 2006), one from Australia (Calabretto, 2009), and one from India (Puri et al, 2007).…”

Sexual health plays an important role in the well-being of university students. The literature shows that the majority of university undergraduates are sexually active and at high risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs); however, the breadth and degree of the literature on their sexual health knowledge is unclear. The purpose of this scoping review was to gain a deeper understanding of the state of research on the sexual health knowledge of university/college students globally. A 5-stage framework was used to guide the review and to characterize the literature on sexual health knowledge. Articles published in English between 2000 and 2014 were reviewed if they included university students as a population of interest and described the methods used to measure sexual health knowledge. Of the 2,386 articles retrieved, 91 met the criteria. The majority of the articles (n = 79) used a cross-sectional design to investigate students' knowledge about HIV/AIDS (n = 45), STIs (n = 23), HPV (n = 9), and contraception (n = 24). The review highlights gaps in the literature and in findings relating to the research dominance of various geographic locations, common research designs, the wide range of measurement tools used, and the variety of sexual health knowledge outcomes of interest. The review provides a useful description of the literature on sexual health knowledge among university/college students and some recommendations for moving the field forward.

“…It is generally believed that the family environment inevitably makes only-child groups different from non-only-child groups in terms of the children's cognition, personality, and affect characteristics (Feng, 1992; Hao and Feng, 2002; Li et al, 2013). However, relatively few studies have explored the associations between only child status and non-cognitive outcomes (academic self-efficacy, academic self-concept, academic motivation); especially the potential moderators in the associations.…”

Do Demographic Characteristics Make Differences? Demographic Characteristics as Moderators in the Associations between Only Child Status and Cognitive/Non-cognitive Outcomes in China

Different family compositions and sizes may affect child development through the different modes of interaction between family members. Previous studies have compared only children with non-only children in cognitive/non-cognitive outcomes. However, relatively little research has systematically investigated the potential moderators among them. Using a large and representative sample of Chinese students (Grades 7–8; N = 5,752), this study examines the roles of demographic characteristics, such as gender, region, parental educational level, parental expectations, family socio-economic status and family structure, in the associations between only child status and cognitive/non-cognitive outcomes. For the cognitive outcomes, only child status exerts an influence on the students' academic performance in Chinese and mathematics in the sample of three districts' students. The examined associations between only child status and cognitive outcomes are different in region, parental education, parental expectations and family structure, while gender and family socio-economic status did not. For the non-cognitive outcomes, only child status exerts an influence on the students' school well-being, academic self-efficacy, academic self-concept, and internal academic motivation in the full sample of students, but not on external academic motivation. Further, the examined associations between only child status and non-cognitive outcomes are different in region, parental education, family socio-economic status and family structure, while gender and parental expectations did not. These findings suggest that the associations between only child status and cognitive/non-cognitive outcomes are heterogeneous in terms of some of the demographic characteristics. Possible explanations are proposed in some concepts of region and family environment in China.

“…Kornreich, Hearn, Rodriguez, dan O'Sullivan (2003) indicate that having siblings or older brothers generally has effect on adolescent girls in their sexual interaction. However, Li, Chen, Cao, Li, Zuo and Yan (2013) in China find that of 4,769 female students who do not have siblings, it indicates 41% higher to approve premarital sexual behavior with more than one spouse.…”

Adolescents' problematic behavior is in relation to premarital sexual behavior. Adolescents' premarital sexual behavior can cause abortion, unwanted pregnancy, death, potential HIV/AIDS infection as well as moral decency crime in Gowa District. Factors of premarital sexual behavior among adolescents include gender, origin of school, status and frequency of dating, religious norms, household norms, knowledge and the uses of smartphone. This research aims at analyzing adolescents' characteristics of and the uses of smartphone in relation with premarital sexual behavior among high school students in Gowa District, South Sulawesi Province. It was the correlational design quantitative research. Total samples amounted to 500 high school students in Gowa District, South Sulawesi Province after these were selected with the cluster sampling. The questionnaire used in this research consisted of religious norms (the reliability test results of 0.791, R-value of 0.397-0.678), household norms (the reliability test results of 0.856, R-value of 0.430-0.893), knowledge (the reliability test results of 0.738, R-value of 0.362-0.514), and premarital sexual behavior (the reliability test results of 0.844, R-value of 0,483-0,763), smartphone use with the calculated R value > r table (0.514) the reliability indicates the alpha cronbach's value> 0.60. The analyzed data use Chi square and logistic regression. The research results show that the premarital sexual behavior has total risk value of 66.0% and the unrisky value of 34.0%. It relates to some adolescents' characteristics among others frequency of dating (p=0.000), status of dating (p=0.000), religious norms (p=0.000), household norms (p=0.000), knowledge (p=0.000), and smartphone use (p=0.000), the variables of adolescents' characteristics i.e. gender and the origin of school do not have significant relationship (p> 0.05). The smartphone use is the most significant factor with the premarital sexual behavior (OR=3.583). The smartphone use is the most significant factor with premarital sexual behavior, and therefore, it indicates that teachers at school and parents at home should who carry out the control and adolescent education in the smartphone use are important factors to be upgraded. The school based health education program can avoid the risky premarital sexual behavior, and the program can focus on the control of smartphone use and skill training among adolescents.
