Sexual values of college students.

Six-hundred-twenty never married undergraduates at a large southeastern university identified the sexual values which guide their behavior in sexual decision making. Both women and men were more relativistic than absolutist or hedonistic. However men were six times more hedonistic than women. Other factors significantly associated with hedonism included being over age 20 uninvolved in a relationship being open to living together and feeling that divorce was justifiable. Implications for university faculty therapists and students are suggested. (excerpt)
