尽管性别剧本在文化层面上占据主导地位，但研究表明，它们在二元和个人层面上可能不那么重要。理解不同层次的性剧本之间的脱节有助于阐明性剧本可以改变的机制。通过对44位年龄在18到25岁之间异性恋活跃的男性和女性的采访，描绘了年轻人在性和关系的文化层面上挣扎的方式。研究结果表明，尽管大多数参与者对性关系行为的文化层面的性别脚本与传统的男性和女性性行为的描述是一致的，但这些脚本如何或是否被纳入个人关系中存在异质性。具体而言，我们发现了三种处理性脚本的风格：一致性，即性行为的个人性别脚本与传统脚本重叠；发现例外，受访者接受文化层面的性别脚本作为现实，但为自己创造了性别规则的例外；在这个过程中，参与者要么试图重塑文化层面的性别脚本，要么将自己的非传统风格解释为同样规范。改变性剧本可能有助于减少性领域的性别不平等，增加获得性满足、安全和幸福的机会，尤其是对女性，但对男性也是如此。
Whereas gendered sexual scripts are hegemonic at the cultural level, research suggests they may be less so at dyadic and individual levels. Understanding disjunctures between sexual scripts at different levels holds promise for illuminating mechanisms through which sexual scripts can change. Through interviews with 44 heterosexually active men and women aged 18 to 25, the ways young people grappled with culture-level scripts for sexuality and relationships were delineated. Findings suggest that, although most participants' culture-level gender scripts for behavior in sexual relationships were congruent with descriptions of traditional masculine and feminine sexuality, there was heterogeneity in how or whether these scripts were incorporated into individual relationships. Specifically, three styles of working with sexual scripts were found: conforming, in which personal gender scripts for sexual behavior overlapped with traditional scripts; exception-finding, in which interviewees accepted culture-level gender scripts as a reality, but created exceptions to gender rules for themselves; and transforming, in which participants either attempted to remake culture-level gender scripts or interpreted their own nontraditional styles as equally normative. Changing sexual scripts can potentially contribute to decreased gender inequity in the sexual realm and to increased opportunities for sexual satisfaction, safety, and well-being, particularly for women, but for men as well.
