Gender and Patterns of Sexual Risk Taking in College Students.
Poppen, Paul J.
Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, v32 n7-8 p545-55 Apr 1995
Determined the role gender plays in influencing the prevalence and patterns of sexual risk taking. Responses from 245 undergraduate students show gender differences in risk-taking patterns. For females, potentially risky behavior in the partner domain was negatively related to risky behavior in the sexual practice domain, whereas for males, the domains were positively related. (GR)
