oooo shit amazing result. kids who are rebellious have sex at an earlier age... next thing they will be studying is the color of the sky.
what is this.. information toally irrelevant! or does this "theory" only apply to those in japan? i think it's total nonsense tbh lol
so kids cant be late or in a rush..?!.... whut a lame reason to explain why kids are sexually active younger nows...
Er, excuse me, but I think you're missing the point. The study here (from the perspective of teen pregnancy reduction) questions what sort of familial dynamics kids have; how obedient children are, and how much effect their parents have on their behavior. Kids who actively and consistently listen, and take heed of their parents have already incorporated a much more robust super ego and thus are generally more conservative and less likely to take risks (eg. sex). They are nominally better behaved (or at least better controlled by their parents), and will get up on time. Hence, they will never be late for school and have plenty of time for breakfast. An externally sourced example of this psychologically, would be a military drill instructor or a strict boss at work. You would seriously hesitate to do shit that you know would get you into trouble. -innocent2 On the other hand, kids who have already rejected parental influence at an early age, are much more likely to seek easy self gratification (ie, satisfy their id, with sex, dropping out of school to get a job, criminal behavior, etc). These are the folks who would eventually have a much harder time in the military (eg AWOL, bad conduct discharge) and have difficulty in keeping long term jobs, along with having a child out of wedlock or becoming a parent while they themselves were still teenagers. -noclue The study in and of itself doesn't explore any new ground, but rather burnishes decades of already well proofed adolescent psychology.
*got my psychological cap on* basically, if u have a secure attachment with ur mother = sex at 19+ insecure/anxious avoidant attachment with ur mother = sex at 16+ nufin to do with breakfast, since they talking about how they felt about their mother....
Well, actually, it does. Like I had stated before, what the research was trying to show, was that kids who consistently ate breakfast were more likely to have familial dynamics that rendered their decision making processes towards a more conservative course (stronger super ego), ie. not engaging in sexual relations until after 19 years of age (or avoiding underaged pregnancy). Their familial dynamics would, as you'd stated, probably include a secure attachment to their mother. But more importantly, one has to consider the formative process of that super ego; that is, a parent that ensured that their child got up early enough to have breakfast, and who themselves took the responsibility to get up even earlier just to prepare that breakfast, meant that the parent consistently invests a tremendous amount of time into their child's life on a daily basis. Such a parent would also be more likely to check up on the whereabouts of the child, take an active interest into the child's schoolwork, leisure time, and most importantly, their child's social life and contacts. -innocent2 IOW, this child has a parent that is consistently involved with all aspects of the child's life, including breakfast. Parents who are no shows, don't care about the child, or are too preoccupied with their own lives would hardly be there every morning making breakfast. Again, this is a question not just of child attachment to their parent, but parental attachment to child as well, or simply put, the cohesion of their familial dynamics. Hence, the breakfast question is really a simple indicator of whether there is consistent parental involvement in the child's life or not. Such that a school counselor might ask a student, "what do you usually have for breakfast?" If a student answers, "I never eat breakfast..." this would alert the school worker and identify that student to be at risk for early sex, and for teen pregnancy. The counselor may then explore the social aspects of the student life and provide them with information and counseling on such risks thereof. -what?
