"Early adolescents' "crushing
Bredow, Cate, and Huston hypothesize that individuals initiate romantic relationships by engaging in four stages-deciding whether another is attractive, whether to approach that person, how best to initiate contact, and how to build rapport once contact is made. It is unclear, however, whether this model applies to early adolescents' pursuits of romantic relationships. It is equally unclear whether factors that are a large part of adolescents' li…
"Early adolescents and "going out
Although it is clear that early adolescents pursue and establish romantic relationships, less is known about the hallmarks of these pairings, even though they are linked to current and future close relationships. Based on adolescent identity formation and identity theory, we used theoretical concepts of roles, role expectations, and role enactments to inform our study. We conducted a series of same-sex and same-age focus groups with sixth and eig…
A Socioecological Model of Rape Survivors' Decisions to Aid in Case Prosecution
The purpose of our study was to identify factors underlying rape survivors' post-assault prosecution decisions by testing a decision model that included the complex relations between the multiple social ecological systems within which rape survivors are embedded. We coded 440 police rape cases for characteristics of the assault and characteristics of the rape survivor congruent with rape mythology. In addition, support from friends/family members…
Family and Cultural Correlates of Mexican-Origin Youths’ Sexual Intentions
Mothers, Fathers, Peers, and Mexican-Origin Adolescents' Sexual Intentions
Drawing on a symbolic-interaction perspective and a compensation model, the processes linking mother-and father-adolescent relationship qualities, deviant peer affiliations, and adolescents' sexual intentions were investigated for 246 Mexican-origin youths born in the United States and in Mexico using multiple-group structural equation models. Deviant peer affiliations significantly mediated the relations between paternal acceptance and sexual in…
Sexual exchanges and relationship satisfaction
We surveyed 499 young, single adult heterosexuals in order to test a social exchange-based model where sexual satisfaction mediated the association between individuals' judgments about their sexually-related exchanges and their relationship satisfaction. Path analysis, using structural equation modeling, supported the hypothesized model. Moreover, invariance tests revealed that gender moderated the model. The association between balance of sexual…
Sexual Aggression
Romantic relationships often include sexual interactions. Unfortunately, such interactions may involve sexual aggression whereby one partner uses coercive or assaultive tactics to achieve a sexual

Partner Preferences
The current investigation extends recent studies that have examined the degree to which various traits are preferred in a short-term sexual relationship versus a long-term romantic relationship. College students (N = 561) expressed their preferences for 23 traits or characteristics in a “short-term sexual” or a “long-term romantic” relationship partner (randomly assigned). Across relationship types, participants preferred internal qualities (e.g.…
Sexuality in Marriage, Dating, and Other Relationships
In this article, we review the major research advances made during the 1990s in the study of sexuality in marriage and other close relationships. More specifically, we provide a critical review of the empirical findings from the last decade on such sexual phenomena as sexual behavior, sexual satisfaction, and sexual attitudes within the context of marriage, dating, and other committed relationships. After highlighting the major theoretical and me…

Premarital Sexual Aggressors
Grounded in social learning theory, this study investigated sex differences in and correlates of premarital sexual aggression using two operational definitions of sexual aggression. Analyses of survey responses from 380 single males and 241 females revealed convergent validity for the two measures and consistency in findings across tests of the three hypotheses. Sexual aggression was more common in men's than in women's dating relationships. Mult…

Family, individual, and social correlates of early Hispanic adolescent sexual expression
Investigations of adolescent sexual expression have seldom included Hispanic youth. The current study addressed this deficiency by testing the theory‐based hypothesis that family influences would be stronger predictors of Hispanic adolescent sexual behavior than would individual and social influences. Block regression analyses of the responses of 489 young Hispanic adolescents did not support the hypothesis. However, the control variable of age, …
An Examination of Single Men's and Women's Sexual Aggressiveness in Dating Relationships
This study focused on two forms of sexual aggression used in dating: pressure and manipulation, and antisocial acts. Two research questions were addressed using the responses of 463 males and 455 females. First, single men and women, and individuals with different commitment levels and different sexual motivations were compared in their use of sexual aggression. Significant interactions demonstrated these variables' importance. Second, the sexual…

Strategies of Influence in Sex and Dating
This study examined the use of premarital sexual influence strategies and how these strategies were related to the gender and the sexual motivations of single, dating individuals. Participants (n = 366) responded to a 48-item survey that asked about how much they had used specific sexual influence techniques on their most recent date. Principal-components analysis revealed that four general influence strategies, Antisocial Acts, Emotional and Phy…

An initial investigation into a continuum of premarital sexual pressure
Two hundred seventy‐five undergraduate single women were surveyed to investigate whether a continuum of premarital sexual pressure exists. Participants were asked if they were pressured into 21 different sexual behaviors. For each behavior, they responded to forced‐choice questions about the stage of dating at which the pressure occurred and the type of pressure most often experienced. Over 50% of the participants reported being pressured into ki…
Premarital Sexual Pathways and Relationship Development
Fifty-four dating couples were interviewed in an investigation of the interrelationship of premarital sexual intimacy and relationship development. Using a cluster analytic procedure, the couples were divided into sexual pathway groups based on the developmental progression of their sexual involvement over four points in time (first date, casually dating, considering becoming a couple, and the `couple' stage of dating). The cluster analysis resul…
Factors involved in premarital sexual decision‐making
Premarital sexual decision‐making in a sample of 434 college students was examined. The purposes of the study were (a) to determine the factors that individuals used in their decision to first have intercourse with a particular partner; (b) to compare males and females on the relative importance of derived factors in decision‐making; and (c) to compare individuals with differing levels of sexual experience on the derived decision factors. Data we…
Premarital Abuse
Little research has examined the incidence and dynamics of abuse between premarital partners at all levels of commitment. The present questionnaire study found the incidence of premarital abuse to be substantial and largely reciprocal in nature. Abuse typically began after some degree of commitment was established. Abuse was usually seen as caused by anger, although the effect of abuse on the relationship was not routinely seen as detrimental. It…
