Abstract | For this study, college students were asked to describe their sexual histories and how their sexual behavior related to alcohol consumption, contraceptive use, and concern over Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) so that more could be learned about gender and self-monitoring differences in sexual behavior. College undergraduates (N=94) completed a series of sexual behavior questions and the Self-Monitoring Scale. The results revealed no differences in terms of the proportion of male and female respondents who reported engaging in sexual intercourse over the past year. Similarly, high and low self-monitors were equally likely to report engaging in sexual intercourse over the preceding year. A greater proportion of low self-monitors, compared to high self-monitors, reported having sexual relations with only one partner. Other findings suggest that a greater proportion of males, as compared to females, used a condom while a greater proportion of females reported always or almost always using some form of effective birth control. A greater proportion of males than females reported drinking at least some of the time while on a date. A greater proportion of females and a greater proportion of high self-monitors reported being concerned about AIDS. (NB) |
