Dissertation
Building character: the paid parenting methodology for counteracting sexualization effects in youth
2015
Overview
The purpose of this study was to examine how the PAID curriculum would increase parental communication skills, behavioral engagement, and discussion of age-appropriate sex-education. The goal of the PAID curriculum is to help counteract the effects of sexualization and objectification in youth through parental activism. Sexualization and objectification of young girls and women impacts their mental, physical, and relational health by increasing depression, anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, disordered eating habits, sexual dysfunctions, and problems in academic and athletic performance. The PAID curriculum provides an innovative solution to address negative media influence. It was hypothesized that parents have insufficient knowledge of topics covered in the PAID curriculum, discuss sex-education less with younger children, religious parents are less likely to discuss sex-education, older parents engage in more measured behaviors (e.g. volunteering with their children), and that there is a positive relationship between communication skills, behavioral habits, and discussion of sex-education. Results from surveys completed by parents indicate that they would benefit from attending the PAID course. Parents have limited knowledge of the curriculum content (59.3%) and tend to delay discussing sex-education until their children enter late adolescence (10-13 year olds, M=13.97; SD=6.59 and 14-17 year olds, M=22.23; SD=8.37; t(76)=-4.7, p<0.001, two-tailed). A moderate positive relationship exists between connectedness (r(79)=.39, p<.001), communication ( r(79)=.32, p=.005), and behavioral engagement between parents and their children (r(79)=.32, p=.005, two-tailed). Along with a review of this research, implications for psychologists and proposals for future research are provided.
