In the context of examining a wide range of correlates of sexual experience—defined as the lifetime number of sexual partners—an hypothesis is tested that sexual experience enhances personality by bolstering self-esteem and self-confidence. Three independent samples are examined separately and then compared ( ns = 173, 136, and 148). These groups vary by sex and amount of sexual experience. Within each of these samples, correlates of sexual experience are examined in regard to background variables, parental sexual attitudes, various sexual behaviors, history, satisfaction, and responsiveness measures, social competence, relationship attachment, and personality. Clear support for the hypothesis of enhancement of personality by sexual experience appeared for men, but little support among the women. Correlates of sexual experience among the female samples appear to reflect sexual facilitation (general involvement) or biological preparedness theory.

The research reported is based on an analysis of anonymous questionnaire data received from 72 Ss who were students at a southern public university. Ss filled out questionnaires at their leisure and returned them in sealed envelopes. A wide range of sexual behaviors and fantasies were self-reported by Ss including oral-genital sex, genital sex, homosexuality, bondage, sadomasochism, partialism, incest, pederasty, oralism, scatological acts, number of sexual partners, and premarital intercourse. The resulting data were presented in tabular form and compared with earlier national data sets. It was also noted that often fairly strong measures of association emerged in a positive direction between socioeconomic status and participation in (and/or approval of) “deviant” sexual behaviors.

Communicative Activity

The article presents the results of an empirical study of relation between the communicative activity and self-evaluation of teenagers (n = 85), whose personality development takes place in the information society and allows us to characterize modern adolescents as generation Z («digital» generation). Communicative activity is considered as the willingness and ability of a person to interpersonal interaction, the outgoing desire to implement the functions of the subject of communication. The authors have analyzed theoretical information about the self-evaluation and communicative activity of adolescents. The communicative activity of adolescents of generation Z is characterized by a wide range: from self-centeredness and minimal involvement in communication, to the desire to maximize the range of social contacts as in real communication, so in communication mediated by technical means. The identified gaps in the scientific knowledge about communicative activity, in terms of its connection with the self-esteem of modern teeagers, became the prerequisite for this study. The principle of consistency and theoretical provisions on self-esteem by L. V. Borozdina, ideas about the activity of personality by A. I. Krupnov, A. A. Volochkov and S. A. Vasyura formed the theoretical and methodological basis of the work. The relations of communicative activity and self-evaluation of adolescents are established. The basic components of the system of these relations are ease of contact and self-evaluation of appearance. The ease of coming into contact is associated with self-evaluation on the scales of “authority among peers”, “appearance (beauty)”, “self-confidence”, as well as the level of claims on the scales “mind” and “self-confidence”. The self-evaluation of appearance (beauty) is associated with the need for communication, initiative in communication, ease of contact, expressiveness in communication. The obtained results contribute to the development of scientific ideas about communicative activity, its potential for the development of the personality of adolescents of generation Z.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a wide range of risky behaviors (e.g., substance use and risky sexual behaviors); however, few studies have examined mechanisms that may underlie risky behaviors in this population. The present study utilized a prospective experimental design to examine the effects of emotion dysregulation and impulsivity on risky behaviors across time. Thirty women with sexual assault–related PTSD were randomly assigned to receive emotion modulation (EM), impulsivity reduction (IR), or healthy living (HL; comparison condition) skills trainings. Participants completed measures of emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and risky behaviors pre-manipulation and 1-month post-manipulation. Participants in the EM and IR conditions reported a significant reduction in risky behaviors from pre- to post-manipulation relative to the HL condition. Changes in emotion dysregulation from pre- to post-manipulation fully accounted for reductions in risky behaviors over time. Results provide preliminary experimental support for the role of emotion dysregulation in risky behaviors.

The Impact

Abstract Parental alienation is defined as a mental state in which a child, usually one whose parents are engaged in a high-conflict separation or divorce, allies himself strongly with one parent (the preferred parent) and rejects a relationship with the other parent (the alienated parent) without legitimate justification. Parental alienation may affect men’s mental health: a) parental alienation negatively influences mental health of male children and adolescents who are victims of parental alienation. Alienated children/adolescents display guilt, sadness, and depressed mood; low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence; distress and frustration; lack of impulse control, substance abuse and delinquent behavior; separation anxiety, fears and phobias; hypochondria and increased tendency to develop psychosomatic illness; suicidal ideation and suicide attempt; sleep and eating disorders; educational problems; enuresis and encopresis; b) parental alienation negatively affects the mental health of adult men who were victims of parental alienation when they were children and/or adolescents. Long-term effects of parental alienation include low self-esteem, depression, drug/alcohol abuse, lack of trust, alienation from own children, divorce, problems with identity and not having a sense of belonging or roots, choosing not to have children to avoid being rejected by them, low achievement, anger and bitterness over the time lost with the alienated parent; c) parental alienation negatively influences mental health of men who are alienated from their children. Fathers who have lost some or all contact with their children for months or years following separation or divorce may be depressed and suicidal.
