The Influence of Experiential Socialization on
the Sexual Activities of College Students
Literature Review
IV: Cultural Values and Goals DV: College Students Definitions of Sex and Likelihood of
sexual Activity. General Explanatory: How do cultural values and goals influence student's
definitions of sex and their likelihood of participating in sexual activities?
Cultural values and norms play a primary role in determining what someone’s definition of sex
is, the behaviors they engage in, and the researcher’s approach and ability to study sexual behavior
(Michaels and Giami 1999:401, 418). One specific issue is the amount of support and funding for
research about sex. Regions have varied greatly in the past as to whether researchers receive federal
and/or state government funding for sexual research (Michaels and Giami 1999:401).
Discontinuations of funding have often been a result of cultural sentiments (Michaels and
Giami 1999:401). American and British values have led to discontinuations of funding for specific
sexual surveys (Michaels and Giami 1999:401). The public funding of a national sexual behavior
survey was allowed to take place in France which was only possible due to the “less political
atmosphere about sex” (Michaels and Giami 1999:401). With these issues in mind, it is clear that
cultural values and norms about sex vary between regions and that this fact will affect how people
relate to the subject (and act).
Hypothesis 1: Individuals from a sexually permissive cultural background are more likely than
their counterparts to engage in sexual activities.
There are two tangible ways in which cultural background can influence a college student’s
perspective regarding sexual activities. It wasn’t to long ago when pre-marital sexual activities were
extremely taboo, and as such we must acknowledge the constraints that prior generations had, versus
the current one. For example, “62% of men born between 1933 and 1937 experienced oral sex
(lifetime), whereas, for men born between 1948 and 1952 it was 90%” (Helm et al., 2009: 236).
Second, “ an evolutionary standpoint suggests that since males accrue more advantages form having
multiple partners, they should be more likely to engage in hookups; in contrast, females would be
2
expected to eschew sexual encounters devoid of emotional intimacy in order to find a mate who invests
more in the relationship” (Carey, Fielder 2009: 1105,1106).
IV: Definitions of Sex DV: Likelihood of Sexual Activity General Explanatory: How do
college student's definitions of sex affect their likelihood of sexual activity?
“Hookup is a catch-all term used by adolescents and young adults to describe a sexual
interaction between two partners who expect no romantic commitment” (Carey, Fielder 2009:
1105).University students and adolescents have had a wide variety of definitions for sex and what
constitutes a sexual act. Students predominantly include penile-vaginal intercourse as well as penileanal intercourse in their definitions of sex (Byers, Henderson, and Hobson 2008:665). When it comes
to oral sex and the touching of genitals there is more variation as to whether or not these behaviors
constitute sex or abstinence (Byers et al. Hobson 2008:665). Students have predominantly not listed
sexual behaviors that do not involve genital stimulation in their definitions of having sex (Byers et al.
Hobson 2008:665). The question of whether or not an orgasm is achieved in all types of sexual contact
adds a small variation as a slight percentage of students are less likely to include an act in their
definitions of sex if an orgasm is not achieved (Byers et al. Hobson 2008:670).
Adolescents, ages 15-19, were found more likely to avoid vaginal sex because they were
waiting for the right person and time to have sex, and to guard against “life-altering consequences”
which include things like sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy (Uecker, Angotti, and Regnerus
2007:1200, 1210). Although religion plays a key role in determining the decisions of those who
completely abstain from all sexual contact, it is a weak determinant for supposed substitute behaviors
like oral and anal sex (Uecker et al. 2007:1200). Age also has a positive correlative effect on likelihood
to engage in sexual acts (Uecker et al. 2007:1211).
Hypothesis 2: Females are more likely than males to experience negative emotions (i.e.
distress) due to sexual promiscuity.
The most prevalent way that sexual experience can influence a college student’s perspective
regarding sexual activities is through perception. “Young women who strive for self-sufficiency and
independence prefer hookups to traditional committed relationships, because hookups provide sexual
interaction with interesting or attractive men without compromising their freedom or independence”
(Carey, Fielder 2009: 1106). However, research suggests that such promiscuity among females leads
them to suffer from mental distress, yet male’s self-esteem has been projected to increase due to sexual
3
promiscuity. Moreover, “ Scholly, Katz, Gascoigne, and Holch, found that 80% of their college subjects
reported from zero to one sexual partner, while they believed that only 22% of their peers had limited
themselves to the same number” (Helm el al., 2009: 232).
IV: Religion and Sub-Cultural Belief Systems DV: Likelihood of sexual activity General
Explanatory: How do student's religiosity and sub-cultural belief systems affect their liklihood of
sexual activity?
Religious sub-cultural belief systems may have some effect in the reduction of sexual activity
among college students (Helm, McBride, Knox, & Zusman 2009: 231). However, while religiosity is
an important factor in influencing the sexual attitudes and behaviors of college students, their desires
and/or impulses fall subject to a multitude of surrounding social influences. Moreover, individual
perception and reference groups become an especially important agent in the overall decisions about
sexual activity among college students. In other words, because of religious belief systems, college
students hold contradicting ideologies and actions in regards to sexual activity. Particularly the comfort
level with sexual activities and overall lifetime engagement in such activities contain discrepancies
among college students(Helm et al., 2009: 237). When it comes to vaginal intercourse, church affiliated
college students have predominantly listed feeling discomfort with sexual activities.(Aziz et al, 2009:
174) However, the same set of students have engaged in vaginal intercourse at nearly twice the
frequency of their reported comfort levels for both males and females (Helm et al., 2009: 237).
The frequency in which students engage in oral sex is nearly twice that of their reported comfort
level, with females being less active in the activity, and more receptive in oral sex than their male
counterparts (Helm et al., 2009:236). Primary motivations among church affiliated college students
vary in the reported data. The primary motivation of female college students for engaging in vaginal
intercourse for the first time was “affection for their partner,” while the primary motivation for males
was “physical pleasure” (Helm et al., 2009: 238). Nevertheless, although ideologies and actions vary
among college students in regards to sexual activity, not only has their primary reason for not engaging
in sexual activity been reported as their beliefs, but they engage in lower rates of sexual activities than
other populations (Helm et al., 2009: 242).
Hypothesis 3: College students who adhere to religious sub-cultural belief systems, are less
likely than their non-religious counterparts to engage in sexual activities.
There are two tangible ways in which religiosity can influence a college student’s perspective
regarding sexual activities. First, although many college students engage in sexual activities, those who
4
adhere to their religious beliefs reported not commissioning in sexual activities because “it is against
their religious beliefs to have sexual intercourse outside of marriage” (Helm et al., 2009: 239). Second,
both males and females prefer stimulating their genitals as an alternative to sexual intercourse due to
their belief systems (Helm et al., 2009: 242).
Hypothesis 4: Individuals seeking to attain a graduate level or professional level education are
more likely to masturbate at a higher frequency than their counterparts.
The most prevalent factor for years in college is positively related to the frequency of
masturbation. “For males who have graduate degrees, 80% report having masturbated within the last
year, while only 45% with less than a high school degree report doing so” (Helm et al., 2009:236). “For
females it is 60% and 25% respectively” (Helm et al., 2009: 236).
IV: Alcohol Intake and Sexual Experience DV: Likelihood of Sexual Activity General
Explanatory: How does student's level of alcohol consumption affect their level of sexual activity?
Drinking alcohol to intoxication (getting drunk) may increase the likelihood that college
students engage in sexual behavior that increases the likelihood of unplanned sex, and/or unprotected
sex (Hingson, Heeren, Winter, & Wechsler 2003: 34). Furthermore, starting to drink at a younger age
has been associated with heavier drinking patterns later in life, which in turn is correlated to having
unplanned sex, and/or unprotected sex (Hingson et al., 2003: 34,36). College students that reported
being drunk for the first time before age 13 were more likely than those who were first drunk at age 19
or older to meet alcohol dependence criteria according to the DSM-IV (Hingson et al., 2002: 36).
Moreover, college drinkers first drunk before age 13, had 2.1 times the odds of reporting recent binge
(heavy episodic) drinking than college drinkers first drunk at age 19 or older (Hingson et al., 2003: 34,
36).
Additionally, those first drunk before age 13 compared with those never drunk until age 19 or
older had 2.0 times the odds of having unplanned or unwanted sex reported to be cause of their
drinking and 2.2 times the odds of having unprotected sex reportedly because of their drinking
(Hingson et al., 2003: 37). This could be due to a multitude of things, such as, individuals who were
drunk at an earlier age may be greater risk-takers in general, or these individuals may be more likely to
believe that potential partners will be more likely to have sex when they drink and drink heavily
(Hingson et al., 2003: 3, 37). College students who drink at younger ages may increase the likelihood
of being alcohol dependent and prone to take health compromising risks such as, unprotected sex,
and/or unplanned sex. Additionally, male and female college students in a Greek style
5
fraternity/sorority system reported having received unwanted sexual advances nearly equally between
genders, although women report more frequent use of physical force against them under drinking
circumstances. (Larimer et al., 1999: 295) Both genders reported heaver alcohol consumption than their
peers who had not received similar advances. (Larimer et al., 1999: 299)
Hypothesis 5: College students (18-24 years of age) are as likely as individuals 25 years old
and older, to engage in sexual activities.
There are two tangible ways in which age can influence a college student’s perspective
regarding sexual activities. First, younger college students, especially those that engage in early life
health compromising behaviors (such as early age drinking) are at greater odds to commission
unplanned and unprotected sex (Hingson et al., 2003: 36, 37). Second, “NHSLS reports that for college
students 18-24 years of age, 7905% reported lifetime sexual intercourse, while those 25 years old and
older reported 97.8%” (Helm et al., 2009: 238 )
IV: Race DV: Likelihood of Sexual Activity General Explanatory: How does college
student's race affect their level of sexual activity?
Sexual attitudes and behaviors of the majority of blacks and whites tend to be similar however,
outlying attitudes of blacks tend to be more conservative while those of whites tend to be more
progressive. Both blacks and whites indicated relativism as the highest percentage of sexual value, but
blacks had a much higher incidence of absolutist sexual values while whites had a higher incidence of
hedonistic values (Knox 2009). Blacks were also shown to have more conservative attitudes and
behavior in rates of “hooking up” (having oral sex or intercourse after meeting someone for the first
time), regretting their decision to have first intercourse, whether you can have oral sex and still be a
virgin, likelihood of having previously given oral sex, cohabitation before marriage, marriage outside
their religion, and approval of same sex marriage .
However, blacks reported that they were more willing to marry outside their race than whites
(Knox 2009). One explanation for this apparent conservatism is the much higher rate of religiosity of
blacks. Nearly three fourths (71.0%) of blacks indicated themselves as very or moderately religious
while less than half (49.3%) of whites indicated equal religiosity (Knox 2009). The data reported by
this study did not support the common stereotype of the hypersexualized animalistic black mentality, in
fact it showed just the opposite.
Hypothesis 6: There will be little difference between races on a scale of conservatism and
6
liberalism when it comes to sex. Any perceivable difference will likely show blacks to have a more
conservative outlook on instances of casual sex or 'hooking up'.
IV: Gender DV: Likelihood of Sexual Activity General Explanatory: How does a college
student's gender affect their participation in sexual activities?
According to a study conducted by Mary Beth Oliver titled 'Gender Differences in Sexuality',
the largest difference between genders is the incidence of masturbation. While there is no significant
difference between masturbation attitudes of men and women, men masturbate nearly twice as much as
women (Oliver 1993). This may allude to a higher sex drive or libido in men as opposed to women.
Men were also reported to have more permissive attitudes towards sexual behavior, especially in casual
settings. They also experience less guilt, fear and/or anxiety from extramarital intercourse (Oliver
1993).
These findings might suggest that men view sex as an act geared more towards physical
pleasure while women hold a more emotional attachment to the act. These gender differences were
negatively correlated with the age of respondents indicating that women may carry less emotional
attachment to sex, men may have more emotional attachment, or a combination of the two as people
age (Oliver 1993). However, incidence of masturbation has a positive correlation with age, supporting
the theory that while men and women's reasons for their sexual behavior may be changing, men
continue to have a stronger libido. While men reported a higher incidence of homosexual experience
there was no gender difference shown in attitudes towards homosexuality or towards civil liberties of
homosexuals. There was also no gender difference in sexual satisfaction shown by the study (Oliver
1993).
Hypothesis 7: Males are more likely to seek sexual activity for physical pleasure than are
females.
There are two critical ways in which gender can influence a college student’s perspective
regarding sexual activities. First, males have reported having vaginal intercourse for the first time for
“physical pleasure,” where females have reported having vaginal intercourse for the first time due to
“affection for their partner” (Helm et al., 2009:238). Second, the mental health implications for
engaging in sexual activities with no romantic commitment, have suggested that females experience
high levels of distress and feelings of being “used;” while their male counterparts experience higher
levels of self-esteem and masculinity.

Data and Methodology
Research data comes from a 2011 self-administered survey to the students of Portland State
University (PSU) who are enrolled in at least one for-credit, on-campus course. Located in Portland,
OR, PSU is an urban campus which is in the southwest downtown area of the city. As of the fall, 2010
term PSU enrolls 28,522 students (OIRP 2010). Information about class standing is outlined in Table
(insert table number).

PSU enrolls 1,746 international students, with students from Saudi-Arabia, China, Japan, Korea,
India, and Vietnam constituting at least 100 or more (OIRP 2010). The OIRP constitutes only those
who are non-resident aliens as international students and so the actually number of students with a
country of origin different than the U.S. is greater than 1,746 (2010).
The sampling frame has been constructed using a list of the Winter 2011 classes (OIRP 2010). Classes
eliminated from the list include non-credit courses, labs (since those enrolled in a lab will also be
enrolled in a corresponding regular course), and those classes that either meet off-campus or not at all
(such as web courses, internships, capstones, etc) and, hence, our discriminate population. Since our
sampling units are student individuals and it is impossible to acquire a comprehensive list of all units
we are using stratified random cluster sampling of every fortieth (this number will change) class from
the sample frame. We then emailed instructors for permission to enter the classrooms and administer
the surveys.

DV's
There are two dependent variables. One measures students’ sexual behaviors, namely what
types of sexual behavior they engage in. Sexual behavior includes any act of sexual gratification
involving the touching, directly or through clothing of the sex organs, or buttocks, or anus of a person
(Crisis Intervention Center 2011). Specific indicators include: partner genital stimulation, vaginal, anal,
and oral (citation needed). The other dependent variable is students’ definitions of what constitutes sex.
The aforementioned behaviors were posed to students to see what was included in their definitions of
sex along coupled with the variable of whether or not orgasm is achieved during these activities
(citation needed).
IV's
There are several independent variables that are of particular interest. One is religion. We
studied religion from two dimensions, one being current religious affiliation and the other being the
religion the student was mostly brought up in until the age of 16 (Pew Forum 2011). Participants were
also asked from what country they originate and if it is the U.S. then what state. We then grouped the
states into specific regions (General Social Survey 1978-1998) (need reference info). Additionally,
students were asked what their primary sources of sexual education are: peers, parent(s), other
relative(s), formal learning, other adult, or none of the above (Albright 2006:18). In addition to these
independent variables we also controlled for sex, age, class standing (OIRP 2010), and total years spent
in college.
