Past evidence has documented that attitudes toward marriage and cohabitation are
related to sexual behavior in adolescence and young adulthood. This study extends
prior research by longitudinally testing these associations across racial/ethnic
groups and investigating whether culturally relevant variations within
racial/ethnic minority groups, such as skin tone (i.e., lightness/darkness of
skin color), are linked to attitudes toward marriage and cohabitation and sex.
Drawing on family and public health literatures and theories, as well as
burgeoning skin tone literature, it was hypothesized that more positive attitudes
toward marriage and negative attitudes toward cohabitation would be associated
with less risky sex, and that links differed for lighter and darker skin
individuals. The sample included 6872 respondents (49.6 % female; 70.0 % White;
15.8 % African American; 3.3 % Asian; 10.9 % Hispanic) from the National
Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. The results revealed that
marital attitudes had a significantly stronger dampening effect on risky sexual
behavior of lighter skin African Americans and Asians compared with their darker
skin counterparts. Skin tone also directly predicted number of partners and
concurrent partners among African American males and Asian females. We discuss
theoretical and practical implications of these findings for adolescence and
young adulthood.
