使用基于网络的调查14-16岁的青少年，异性恋行为的分层指数具有良好的心理测量特性。最容易进行的性行为是“深吻”，最困难的是女性“接受肛交”和男性“给予肛交”。该指数的验证数据显示，随着年龄的增长和少数民族地位的增加，性活动增加，社会特征，如身体发育，拥有浪漫的伴侣，寻求感觉，以及与性行为相关的心理社会变量，如态度，规范，自我效能和意图。
Using a web-based survey of adolescents 14-16 years of age, a hierarchical index of heterosexual behavior was developed with excellent psychometric properties. The easiest sexual behavior to perform was "deep kissing" and the most difficult was "receiving anal sex" for females and "giving anal sex" for males. The index was validated with data that show increased sexual activity with being older and of minority status, with social traits such as physical development, having a romantic partner, and sensation seeking, and with psychosocial variables known to be associated with sexual behavior such as attitudes, norms, self-efficacy and intentions.
