此前的研究发现,很大一部分大学生并不认为口腔生殖器接触是“性行为”。在所有研究中,提出的问题都是假设的。在这项研究中,大学生被问及他们自己的个人性生活经历。从一大群参与者中,确定了两个小组:对“发生性行为”回答“不”但对有过口腔生殖器接触回答“是”的人(否-是),以及对既有性行为又有口腔-生殖器接触回答“是”的人(是-是)。这两个亚组的参与者中没有一人自我报告有阴道或肛交。用马洛-克朗量表衡量,反对组的社会合意性显著更高(p < .0005),在宗教信仰方面(p < .01)也显著更高(按7分利克特量表衡量)。宗教信仰水平和社会期望之间存在适度的相关性(r = .25,p < .01)。结论是,许多有过口腔-生殖器接触但否认有过性行为的学生这样做是因为印象管理,即希望更积极地展示自己。这些结果进一步证明,社会期望反应对性研究人员来说是一个严重的问题,甚至会影响到关于性行为的最基本的问题。
Previous studies have found that a large proportion of college students do not consider oral-genital contact as having “had sex.” In all studies, the questions posed were hypothetical. In the present study, university students were asked about their own personal sexual experiences. From a large pool of participants, two subgroups were identified: those who responded “No” to having “had sex” but responded “Yes” to having had oral-genital contact (No–Yes), and those who responded “Yes” to having had both sex and oral-genital contact (Yes–Yes). None of the participants in these two subgroups self-reported vaginal or anal intercourse. The No–Yes group was significantly higher in social desirability (p < .0005) as measured by the Marlowe-Crowne scale and was also significantly higher in religiosity (p < .01) as measured on a 7-point Likert scale. There was a modest correlation between level of religiosity and social desirability (r = .25, p < .01). It was concluded that many students who have had oral-genital contact but deny having had sex do so because of impression management, i.e., a desire to present themselves more positively. These results provide further evidence that social desirability responding is a serious problem for sex researchers, one that affects even the most basic questions about having had sex.
