Dramatiseren of normaliseren? De culturele constructie van tienerseksualiteit in de Verenigde Staten en Nederland

Samenvatting

Dramatization or Normalization? The Cultural Construction of Teenage Sexuality in the United States and the Netherlands. In a study of cultural conceptions of teenage sexuality in the Netherlands and the US, 71% of Dutch parents interviewed would allow their teenage child to sleep with a boy or girl friend at home, only 7% of US parents would do so. This cultural difference in teenage sexuality is analyzed at four levels: (1) terms, expressions, and characteristics of teenage sexuality; (2) images of the adolescent maturation process; (3) parent-held principles of family life; and (4) the impact of Dutch and US societal differences on teenage sexuality. 29 References.
