The article that I have chosen to review is titled ‘How Sources of Sexual Information Relate to Adolescents’ Beliefs about Sex’ and is by Bleakley, Hennessy, Fishbein, and Jordan, published in 2009. The article basically discusses how different adolescents rely on different sources for information regarding sex and how each of these sources affects their psychology and attitude towards sex and sexual practices. Surveyed across 459 youths of both male and female gender, comprising of white and African Americans, and covering the age group of 14-year-olds, 15-year-olds, and 16-year-olds, the research tested showed that effects on behaviors and attitude differ across genders and race along with the source as a factor that determines the ultimate impacts.
