Sexual Encounters

One-hundred and twenty male and 109 female unmarried college students participated in a questionnaire study of actual and expected male-female differences in the use of 10 strategies for having and avoiding sexual intercourse. As predicted, both men and women viewed strategies for having sex as used predominantly by males and strategies for avoiding sex as used predominantly by females. However, sex-role attitudes were unrelated to students' expectations of sexual encounters. Both traditional and profeminist students expected that strategies for having sex would be used predominantly by males and strategies for avoiding sex would be used predominantly by females. It appeared that students still stereotyped having sex as a male goal and avoiding sex as a female goal. Men and women were unexpectedly similar in their personal strategies for influencing a sexual encounter. Both men and women reported using more indirect strategies to have sex and more direct strategies to avoid having sex. These findings suggest that when men and women share the same goals (such as having or avoiding sex), expected differences between male and female influencing agents disappear

Black And White

A sample of southern college students is used to investigate race and sex differences among nine Likert-type sex role attitudes. Results show that black and white men share a similar sex role orientation while black and white women also share a similar world view. There were only two instances where blacks were notably different from whites. First, blacks were more likely to feel that a woman's real fulfillment in life comes from motherhood, and second, blacks were more likely to feel that it was appropriate for a mother with school-age children to work.

Egalitarian Attitudes

To examine relationships between sex-role attitudes and biographical and personality characteristics, 147 college students were administered three instruments on separate occasions: (a) the Sex-role Egalitarianism Scale, (b) an inventory measuring six personality traits, and (c) a biographical information sheet. Data indicated women to be more egalitarian in their sex-role attitudes than men. Significant findings based on work history of mothers also were noted, with more egalitarian attitudes for students reporting that their mothers worked for reasons of financial necessity and for children being younger when mothers began working. Finally, sex-role egalitarianism was related to higher needs for autonomy and achievement and to lower needs for succorance and social recognition.
