Samenvatting

Seksualiteit van jongeren wordt in de onderzoekswereld vooral bekeken door te focussen op seksueel gedrag en de gezondheidsrisico’s die daarmee gepaard gaan (bijv. SOA’s). Maar seksualiteit bestaat uit veel meer dan alleen seks. Om een beter beeld te krijgen van de ontluikende seksuele ontwikkeling van jongeren, volgde Wieke Dalenberg het dagelijks leven van jongeren met behulp van een weblog dagboekonderzoek.

Om een antwoord te geven op de vraag hoe jongeren zich ontwikkelen op romantisch en seksueel gebied, voerde Dalenberg en collega’s verschillende dagboekstudies uit onder zo’n 300 jongeren (12-17 jaar). Een deel van die jongeren vulden gedurende twee jaar weblog vragenlijsten en dagboeken in. Met dit exploratieve onderzoek hebben Dalenberg en collega’s een uniek inzicht gekregen in het dagelijks leven van adolescenten en hun beleving van seksualiteit.

Alles bij elkaar genomen laat dit proefschrift zien dat de romantische en seksuele ontwikkeling van adolescenten in het dagelijks leven omschreven kan worden als een true love story: In het dagelijks leven zijn adolescenten vooral georiënteerd op de romantische aspecten van seksualiteit en minder op expliciete seksuele ervaringen (geslachtsgemeenschap-gerelateerde onderwerpen). Dit proefschrift was een eerste poging om het, normaal gesproken onzichtbare, gedachtengoed over de romantische en seksuele ontwikkeling van adolescenten in kaart te brengen.

abstract = "Previous research on sexual development mainly focused on sexual behavior and the risks of sexual behavior, such as sexually transmitted diseases. However, sexuality is more than having sexual intercourse. To provide a complete picture of how young people develop sexually throughout adolescence, Wieke Dalenberg and colleagues focused on young people{\textquoteright}s romantic and sexual development in the context of everyday life. In her PhD project, Dalenberg and colleagues implemented a weblog diary study. The project consists of four diary studies involving a total of 306 young people (12-17 years old). A segment of these young people was followed over the course of two years. In this way, the researchers were able to gain insight into young people{\textquoteright}s emerging romantic and sexual development from the unique viewpoint of young people themselves. One main result of the whole PhD project was that the romantic and sexual development of young people in the context of everyday life can be described as a true love story: The everyday experiences about sexuality were mainly about romantic aspects of sexuality instead of intercourse-related topics. This PhD project was an initial attempt to reveal the, normally invisible, feelings and thoughts that comprise young people{\textquoteright}s sexual development.",
