Sexual behaviors that contribute to unintended pregnancy and STIs is one of the top six health risk behaviors that contribute to death and disability among adolescents. Earlier sexual initiation has been linked to subsequent engagement in high risk sexual behavior. Researchers have examined critical factors associated with sexual risk taking, including self-objectification. Self-objectification has been linked to sexual self-esteem which was associated with higher levels of engagement in sexual activity. Though the exact mechanism though which this occurs remains unknown. To better understand the effects of self-objectification and self-esteem on sexual initiation in emerging adults, the present study aimed to investigate the role of self-objectification and self-esteem in predicting age of sexual initiation across the sexual timetable. Emerging adults were presented with self-report assessments of self-objectification and self-esteem, as well as a retrospective questionnaire on age of sexual initiation. Results showed that self-esteem did not mediate the relationship between self-objectification and sexual initiation. However, self-objectification and self-esteem appeared to be independent risk factors of sexual initiation. Self-objectification, specifically appearance control was associated with the initiation of French Kissing, touch penis, vaginal sex, and sexting. Body shame was associated with the initiation of anal sex. Self-esteem was associated with the initiation of more intimate sexual behavior including vaginal sex, anal sex and sexting. These results should inform future research to explore intra-individual factors, especially self-objectification to enhance the specificity of education-, prevention-, and treatment programs

Adult Impulsivity and the Role of Parental Smoking: The Role of Gender
No full textLiterature Review
Research confirms that parental smoking is a consistent risk factor for an individual’s smoking habits (e.g. Tyas and Pederson, 1998; Biglan, et al., 1995). There has been minimal research exploring the effect a single parent has on an individual (Reynolds et. al., 2009). In 2014, Herrick, Thamothara, Sferra, Lange and Fields explored parental smoking effects on an individual’s impulsivity. In this study we will further explore this topic through gender differences in adult impulsivity.
Thesis Statement
The current research objective is to find gender differences among adult impulsivity related to parental smoking. A secondary objective is to examine the role of parental smoking on adult smoking.
Theoretical Framework
A short self-report questionnaire will be used to collect basic demographic information from each participant. Each participant will also complete the Delay Discounting Questionnaire (Richards et al., 1999). Both of these tasks will be administered through the SONA online testing service and there will be no direct interaction with the participants.
Project Description
The current study will investigate the relationship between parental smoking status and impulsivity (as measured by a delay discounting task) in a random adult population. The study will also investigate whether parental smoking affects an individual's likelihood to smoke. Ultimately, we will compare gender differences in impulsivity among the adult population. In order to do this, we will use a self-report questionnaire and a DDQ assessment. The self-report questionnaire will include gender, age, ethnicity, and parental smoking status. The DDQ will provide the level of impulsivity of each subject.
It is expected that when the father is the only reported smoker, the females will show higher impulsivity than the males. It is also expected that when the mother is the only reported smoker, the males will show higher impulsivity than the females. Furthermore, it is expected that when both parents are reported smokers, males will show higher impulsivity than females
