This pioneering monograph integrates the major research findings
of the past four decades and offers a new model for the study of
human sexuality. The author examines the empirical literature on
sexuality for the developmental stages of childhood, adolescence,
and young adulthood and for experiences of sexual aggression. He
then uses symbolic interactionism to develop a theoretical model
which integrates the research across the developmental periods and
for instances of sexual aggression, providing one of the most
comprehensive views of sexuality development that has yet been
offered.
The work investigates the role of family, peers, romantic
partners, and personality in the development of sexual expression
and offers a unique vision of how symbolic interactionism can
inform one's understanding of sexual beliefs and behaviors through
the developmental stages. By acknowledging developmental
differences and changes in individuals and their interpersonal
relationship context, a more integrated understanding emerges of
how sexuality develops.
This volume is intended for students and scholars interested in
the influences on the development of sexual expression of youth and
young adults. It will be of great interest to readers in
psychology, family studies, communication, sociology, adolescent
studies, and specialized areas of sexuality research. It is
appropriate for undergraduate seminars and graduate-level courses
on human sexuality, close relationships, family theory, sociology,
communication, social psychology, developmental psychology, and
related areas.
