College Student Sexual Morality Revisited: A Consideration of Pre-Marital Sex, Extra-Marital Sex and Childlessness between 1940 and 2000-2005
Lance, Larry M.
College Student Journal, v41 n3 p727-733 Sep 2007
Much attention has been given to the new "sexual morality" of college students today. Indeed, some maintain that the American family is doomed because of the attitudes of young people today toward sex and the family. How does the sexual morality of college students today compare with the sexual morality of college students over half a century ago? To answer this question a replication of the 1940 study of sexual morality of college students by John Cuber and Betty Bell published in the "American Journal of Sociology" was conducted between 2000 and 2005. Gender comparisons were made with respect to sexual morality involving pre-marital sex, extra-marital sex, and childlessness. (Contains 3 tables and 19 sources.)
