For example,
in Kenya, Kiragu & Zabin
(1993) found that female adolescents
whose parents often
argued were almost twice as
likely to be sexually experienced
than are those who
came from more conflict-free environments. In the
Philippines, Cruz, Laguna, and Raymundo (2001)
found that, compared with those from unstable
marriages, adolescents who viewed their parents to
have a stable marriage were significantly less likely
to engage in premarital sex.
