Purpose: To examine the influence of Value-Systems and Sexual Self-Regulation
of adolescents sexuality.
Methods: A study conducted on adolescents aged 19 - 21years, The measures were a personal data questionnaire; the scale for value-system had 110 item however, using multi dimension analysis of items, 89 items with reliability with (α = .858), and 118 for sexual self regulation, 105 items were reliable with (α = 988) .
Results: Concerning the relationship between value-systems and sexual self-regulation of adolescents revealed (P< 0,00) indicating that value-systems influence ones sexual self-regulation, further analysis were conducted and the analysis indicated (P< .001), 36,12% as an influence from Sexual Self-Regulation and (P< .000), 63,68% as being influence from Value-Systems. Findings showed that both variables predict adolescent’s sexual behaviors. Because the author was much interested in how adolescents self-regulate their behaviors, further analysis were made concerning Sexual Self-Efficacy to goal setting and (P < 0.00) that 46,10%, monitoring ones behavior (P < 0,002) that 30,25% and finally evaluation (P < 0,030) indicating 15,84% all these were significant but with varying percentages.
Conclusions: The findings about the influence on value-systems indicated that their influence is still strong and that sexual self-regulation is influenced by value-systems, however, the sample studied indicated their inability to structure their environment to seek assistance and information concerning their sexuality and this was attributed to the traditional held view that sexual issues can not be discussed between parents, teachers as these may suspect that the individual is sexually active, they lacked adaptability to goal setting and meeting the aspirations of the value-systems as indicated by their acknowledgment that their failure is not their own making but the settings in which sexual behaviors are done, though its necking that was committed most by adolescents studied, this indicates the trend where necking behaviors are considered appropriate yet this contradicts the theory of sexual behaviors that moves from dating, necking and finally to intercourse because virginity is considered a belief of the past.
