(2007) Elvia Vargas Trujillo; Juanita Henao; Constanza González
The aim of this study was to describe youth sexual and reproductive decision making styles, as well as cognitions associated to them. Testimonies were obtained through in depth interviews carried out with a sample of 72 adolescents from Bogota and Cali , 48 women and 24 men. The authors analyze the way cognitions - knowledge, social norms, beliefs, attitudes, values, expectancies, goals and meanings- constructed in the socio-cultural context, guide youth decision making towards establishing romantic relationships, having sexual intercourse, using contraceptive methods, getting married, getting pregnant or having an abortion. The findings of the study led to recommendations for the design of sexual education programs that include the different socialization agents.
Emergence of Qualitative Research in Colombian Psychology: A Beginning that Still Does not End
(2006) Jorge Larreamendy-Joerns; Juanita Henao; Alexandra Arango
This article deals with the processes of emergence and evolution of qualitative research in psychology in Colombia. Two major arguments are advanced. First, these processes can only be fully understood in the light of the history of psychology in Colombia, and, at the same time, within the context of emergence and consolidation of the social sciences in Colombia. Second, the evolution of qualitative research in North American psychology coincides in some aspects with its corresponding path in Colombian psychology, even though the former exhibits some distinctive features. This article begins with a synthesis of some attempts to divide into historical periods the evolution of qualitative research in the United States. Then, it offers a historical view of psychology in Colombia. Finally, the article proposes three major historical periods to account for the emergence and evolution of qualitative research in our discipline. As a conclusion, the process of development of qualitative research in Colombia is compared to that in the United States and research challenges are proposed for Colombian scholars to address in the years to come.

Toma de decisiones sexuales y reproductivas en la adolescencia
(2007) Elvia Vargas Trujillo; Juanita Henao; Constanza González
A partir de las narraciones que se obtuvieron a través de entrevistas en profundidad con 48 mujeres adolescentes y 24 hombres en Bogotá y Cali, se identificaron las cogniciones -conocimientos, normas, creencias, actitudes, valoraciones, expectativas, metas y significados construidas en el contexto sociocultural, que guían las decisiones de los y las jóvenes acerca de establecer relaciones románticas, tener relaciones sexuales, usar métodos de planificación familiar, unirse o casarse, embarazarse o abortar. Además, se establecieron los estilos de toma de decisiones de las adolescentes y sus parejas. Los resultados permitieron derivar recomendaciones para el desarrollo de programas de educación sexual que incluyan a los distintos agentes de socialización.
