我们调查了与伴侣关系的性质（认真与随意的关系）是否会影响青少年的性行为和态度。我们询问了452名18-25岁的青少年，他们来自4个种族（白色、非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔和亚裔美国人），询问了他们过去的性行为（个人性时间表）和青少年一般可接受的不同性行为年龄（规范性时间表）。学生们回答了两次这些问题：一次是在描述一段严肃关系中的伴侣时，另一次是在伴侣不太知名时。结果表明，人际环境有相反的影响规范和个人的时间表。虽然与一个认真的伴侣进行性探索更容易被接受，但年轻人通常会与他们不太了解的伴侣开始性活动。正如所预测的那样，人际环境的影响白色青少年的性时间表比其他群体，虽然只有在一定的条件下。与预测相反，人际环境对性时间表的影响对男女都是相似的。此外，女性的时间表比男性更严格，亚裔美国青少年的时间表比其他群体更严格。非裔美国青少年的个人时间表比其他种族群体较少限制，虽然这一结果是减少时，社会人口因素controlled.This研究探讨之间的关系，自我报告的行为，对一个浪漫的合作伙伴和三组相关性的性背叛：接受背叛在各种不同的情况下，性和亲密的变量，和人口变量。参与者包括417名来自北方加州社区、公立和私立大学的学生，他们都有过恋爱关系。结果表明，虽然接受背叛的程度极低，但背叛的发生率却相当高，超过三分之一的样本发生了背叛。接受背叛的程度因背叛发生的情况而异。在一段糟糕的关系中，或者当一个新的伴侣有磁性吸引力时，背叛比当犯罪者出于报复或确信他们不会被抓住时更容易被接受。背叛行为与性和亲密变量显著相关，包括对背叛的态度，性放纵，性活动的早期发生，以及回避的关系风格。男性参与者比女性参与者更容易接受背叛，但在实际背叛发生率方面没有观察到性别差异。这项研究表明，背叛行为并不像他们看起来那样随意，因为态度和人格特征是背叛行为的重要相关因素。
We investigated whether the nature of the relationship with a partner (a serious vs. casual relationship) influences youths' sexual behaviors and attitudes. We asked 452 youths, ages 18-25, drawn from 4 ethnic groups (White, African American, Latino, and Asian American) about their own past sexual behavior (personal sexual timetables) and about acceptable ages for youths, in general, to engage in different sexual behaviors (normative sexual timetables). Students answered these questions twice: once when describing partners in a serious relationship and once when the partner was not well known. The results revealed that the interpersonal context had opposite effects on normative and personal timetables. Although sexual explorations were more acceptable with a serious partner, youth generally began sexual activities with a partner they did not know well. As predicted, the interpersonal context influenced the sexual timetables of White adolescents more than other groups, although only under certain conditions. Contrary to predictions, the effect on interpersonal context on sexual timetables was similar for both genders. Additionally, women had more restrictive timetables than men, and Asian American adolescents held more restricted timetables than other groups. African American adolescents had less restricted personal timetables than other ethnic groups, although this result was diminished when sociodemographic factors were controlled.This study examines relations between self-reported acts of sexual betrayal against a romantic partner and three groups of correlates: acceptance of betrayal under a variety of different circumstances, sexual and intimacy variables, and demographic variables. Participants included 417 students at community, public, and private colleges in Northern California who had been in a romantic relationship. Results indicate that although acceptance of betrayal is extremely low, the incidence of betrayal is nevertheless quite high, occurring in more than one third of the sample. The acceptance of betrayal varied with the circumstances under which betrayal occurred. Betrayal was more acceptable in a bad relationship or when there was a magnetic attraction to a new partner than when the perpetrators were being vindictive or were certain they would not get caught. Betrayal behavior was significantly correlated with sexual and intimacy variables including attitudes to betrayal, sexual permissiveness, early onset of sexual activity, and an avoidant relationship style. Male participants were more likely than female participants to be accepting of betrayal, but gender differences in the actual incidence of betrayal were not observed. This study illustrates that acts of betrayal are not as haphazard as they appear, because attitudes and personality characteristics are significant correlates of betrayal behavior.
