Sexual Attitudes and Contraception Among Females Across Five College Samples
研究了722名来自五所不同大学的女性的性态度与避孕行为之间的关系，发现更积极的性态度与更有效的避孕行为相关，且校园环境和性态度对几乎所有调查项目有显著影响。
The generalizability of the findings showing a relationship among sexual attitudes, sexual and contraceptive behavior, and responses to statements about sexual topics was investigated. Females (n = 722) attending five state and private universities in urban and rural locations were administered the Sexual Opinion Survey, a questionnaire dealing with sexual and contraceptive behavior, and semantic differential items involving sexual matters. Associations generally occurred between the expression of more positive sexual attitudes and the reporting of behaviors and attitudes supportive of effective contraceptive activity. Analysis of variance of the questionnaire responses indicated main effects for both the campus setting and erotophobia-erotophilia for nearly all of the items. A correlational analysis found significant relationships in the predicted directions between sexual attitudes and responses to most of the survey items by subjects in each campus setting.
