“…Erotophobia scores contributed an additional .14 of variance explained over behavioral intention alone (R = .33). Kelley (1979) extended this line of reasoning to preferences among contraceptive methods. She predicted that emotional response to sexual stimuli would influence attitudes toward contraceptive use, but also that those with negative emotional responses to masturbation would have the most negative attitudes toward using contraceptive methods which entail genital manipulation, such as a condom or diaphragm.…”

This review examines the psychologically oriented literature on adolescent contraceptive use. Descriptive studies, individual difference studies, and theory-based studies from family planning, medical, and applied journals are covered, as well as studies appearing in psychology journals. The research covered suggests that adolescents are largely uninformed about reproductive physiology and about many methods of contraception. They have negative attitudes toward contraception generally and toward using contraceptives. The widespread nonuse of contraception by sexually active adolescents is not irrational, given their levels of information and their beliefs and attitudes. Psychological models using cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors have been used to predict and explain these behaviors, and they hold promise for future research.Someday you'll find a chap you'll love with your whole heart and who will adore you as wholeheartedly. When that time comes you'll be glad if you've kept the intimate parts of your body for him. You'll understand then how cheap it is to allow yourself to be handled for a mere sexual thrill. (Schultz, 1955, p. 192) Birth control is probably the most important thing for young people to know about sex, because to enjoy sex and make it part of caring, it is absolutely essential to be sure you won't produce a baby unless you want one. (Comfort & Comfort, 1979, p. 70) Attitudes toward adolescent sexuality have changed greatly during the past three decades. There have been even more dramatic changes in contraceptive technology during the same period, including the introduction of oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (ILTDs), and, most recently, the contraceptive sponge. Despite these changes, adolescent pregnancy rates continue to rise. In 1978, 1.14 million American teenagers-over 10% of all teenage women-became pregnant. The large majority of these pregnancies were unplanned and unwanted. Over 80% were conceived premaritally, and almost 40% ended in abortion (Alan Guttmacher Institute, 1981). In 1979, one

“…Studies based on emotional models have focused on the relationship between individuals' emotional responses to sex and their use of contraception. Byrne and Fisher and their colleagues suggest that learned emotional responses to sexual cues generally will affect contraceptive use (Byrne, Jazwinski, DeNinno, & Fisher, 1977;Fisher, 1984;Fisher et al, 1979;Fisher, Byrne, & White, 1983;Kelley, 1979). Individuals who respond negatively to sexual cues are less likely to use contraception than those who respond more positively to sexual cues and, when they do use contraception, those with negative responses to sexual cues tend to be less consistent users (Fisher et al, 1979) and are less likely to use methods that entail genital manipulation (Kelley, 1979).…”

Other research has documented that low sex guilt is a significant predictor of adolescents' contraceptive use, at least for female respondents Gerrard, 1982;Herold, 1981;Herold & McNamee, 1982;Mosher & Vonderheide, 1985;Upchurch, 1978).…”

The relationship of knowledge and attitudes to adolescent contraceptive efficacy was investigated in a multivariate study, with demographic and sexual history variables covaried. Subjects were unmarried, sexually active 15‐ to 19‐year‐old women. Two studies were conducted: one using a large and representative sample and the second using a smaller, high socioeconomic status sample that is more typical of samples generally used in earlier research. Subjects were classified as effective, ineffective, or nonusers of contraception, based on both frequency of use and effectiveness of the method(s) they used. Two discriminant function analyses were performed to determine (a) whether knowledge and attitudes contributed to discrimination among the groups over and above discrimination attributable to demographic and sexual history variables, and (b) which variables distinguished ineffective users from both other groups. The results of both studies indicate that attitudes, particularly attitudes toward contraception, are strong predictors of patterns of contraceptive use. Ineffective users were distinguished from nonusers by their greater knowledge of contraception, and from both other groups by their greater sexual activity and more positive attitudes toward intercourse. The discussion focuses on the theoretical implications of the results, the usefulness of the effective/ineffective/nonuser categorization, and applications of these findings to design of interventions.
