Adolescents' Thoughts and Feelings about AIDS in Relation to Cognitive Maturity.
Peterson, Candida C.; Murphy, Lisa
Journal of Adolescence, v13 n2 p185-87 Jun 1990
Studied adolescents' (N=163) formal operational reasoning in relation to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) knowledge, AIDS fear, sexual knowledge, and reactions to AIDS victims. Found that advanced reasoning predicted better AIDS knowledge and general sexual knowledge. Advanced reasoning and AIDS knowledge were also linked with heightened fear of AIDS. (PVV)
