Figure 1. Path Analysis of Exposure to Sex Content in Television Genres on Having Sex among Adolescents through the Integrated Model.

Figure 1

Source: ASAMS longitudinal survey and content analysis. Notes: Had sex in past 12 months is from wave 3; all other variables were measured one year prior in wave 2. Analysis uses a robust weighted least squares estimation method conducted using Mplus software. Non-significant paths are dashed light grey lines. All coefficients are standardized. To measure R2 of categorical dependent variables, Mplus uses a continuous latent response variable approach (see McKelvey and Zavoina, 1975); thus, R2 for had sex in past 12 months uses this approach.
