CONTEXT: Considerable research has examined reciprocal relationships between
parenting, peers and adolescent problem behavior; however, such studies have
largely considered the influence of peers and parents separately. It is important
to examine simultaneously the relationships between parental monitoring, peer
risk involvement and adolescent sexual risk behavior, and whether increases in
peer risk involvement and changes in parental monitoring longitudinally predict
adolescent sexual risk behavior. METHODS: Four waves of sexual behavior data were
collected between 2008/2009 and 2011 from high school students aged 13-17 in the
Bahamas. Structural equation and latent growth curve modeling were used to
examine reciprocal relationships between parental monitoring, perceived peer risk
involvement and adolescent sexual risk behavior. RESULTS: For both male and
female youth, greater perceived peer risk involvement predicted higher sexual
risk behavior index scores, and greater parental monitoring predicted lower
scores. Reciprocal relationships were found between parental monitoring and
sexual risk behavior for males and between perceived peer risk involvement and
sexual risk behavior for females. For males, greater sexual risk behavior
predicted lower parental monitoring; for females, greater sexual risk behavior
predicted higher perceived peer risk involvement. According to latent growth
curve models, a higher initial level of parental monitoring predicted decreases
in sexual risk behavior, whereas both a higher initial level and a higher growth
rate of peer risk involvement predicted increases in sexual risk behavior.
CONCLUSION: Results highlight the important influence of peer risk involvement on
youths' sexual behavior and gender differences in reciprocal relationships
between parental monitoring, peer influence and adolescent sexual risk behavior.
