The sexual double standard and risk taking among young adults
| Resumo: | This study investigated the perceptions on beliefs, stereotypes, roles, preferences and sexual risk-taking with a focus on gender differences from a sample of 1284 young adults. We assessed these perceptions using a sociodemographic questionnaire, a sexual double standard, gender roles and sexual risk-taking scales. We unexpectedly found women to be more permissive than men regarding a sexual double standard. Men showed more sexist attitudes regarding gender roles and engage in greater sexual risk-taking. |
