Does Permissiveness Mediate the Relationship between Sexual Identity Exploration and Sexual Behavior

Year: 2016

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Sexual identity exploration and permissive attitudes about sex increase emerging adults' sexual behaviors. This study surveyed (N=301) 18-29 year-olds’ sexual attitudes and anal/ vaginal sex acts. Findings support that permissiveness accounts for some of the relationship between sexual identity exploration and sex acts but did not show a mediation effect.
