Older Adolescents' Engagement in Casual Sex: Impact of Risk Perception and Psychosocial Motivations.
Peer reviewedLevinson, Ruth Andrea; And Others – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1995
The relationship between attitudes about casual sex and casual sex behavior was investigated for 137 male and 187 female active heterosexuals aged 17 to 19. Behavior was more heavily influenced by social-psychological motivations than by disease-based variables, and the relationship between attitudes and behavior was stronger for females. (SLD)
