[Selected psychosocial factors and the sexual development of girls].
In a group of 771 Czech girls aged 16 to 18 years who were examined by means of an interview, the influence of three psychosocial factors on their sexual development was studied. Through statistical analysis of data it was found that probands living in towns had their first sexual intercourse significantly earlier (p < 0.004) than village girls and further they had more experience with cunnilingus and fellatio. Their level of education and that of both parents was significantly higher than in probands living in villages. However, in the second study we ascertained that sexual development of students in comparison with girl-apprentices was highly significantly retarded (p < 0.004). In the third study a comparison of psychosexual development of 535 girls who lived in complete and stable families, and of 166 probands from divorced marriages was carried out. Sexual development in the later group was accelerated (p < 0.02). The emotional atmosphere in disrupting families and the incompleteness after divorce influenced negatively the development of girls during their adolescence in different directions.
