Peer reviewedMuehlenhard, Charlene L.; McCoy, Marcia L. – Psychology of Women Quarterly, 1991
College women (n=403) attending the University of Kansas (Lawrence) commented on situations of refusal of desire for sexual relations when they actually did want them (scripted refusal). Consistent with theories of proximal determinants of gender-related behavior, scripted refusal provides a way of dealing with the sexual double standard. (SLD)
