“…Since the early 1960s, the sharpest increase in liberal attitudes toward premarital sexual intercourse occurred between 1969and 1973, with increases moderating between 1973. But between 1982and 1998 no clear trends emerged.…”

Decades of increases in premarital sexual involvement of college students have been related to numerous variables, one of which is religiosity. This investigation sought to determine any change in the premarital sexual attitudes and behaviors of students enrolled at a private religiously-affiliated university over a two-decade period of time. Using anonymous questionnaires administered in social science classes in 1981, 1991, and 2000, a total sample of 1,545 never-married undergraduates, 791 women and 754 men, was obtained. Significant behavioral differences were found between time intervals for women and men in age at first intercourse, number of sex partners, and demographic and personal characteristics. Among women, significant attitude changes concerned acceptance of sexual intercourse with casual and serious dating partners. Religiosity and participation in sexual intercourse were inversely related for women and men.

“…With regard to college coeds, the premarital coitus rates of 20-25% presented by these researchers might be cited as failing to show the presence of any sexual revolution, as these percentages have been reported since the early 1900's (Bell, 1966). Other reports, however, would speak in support of the existence of a changing pattern in sexual permissiveness that could be termed revolutionary (Bell & Chaskes, 1970;Bernard, 1966;Broderick, 1966;Kaats & Davis, 1970;Luckey & Nass, 1969). These researchers point to increased premarital coitus rates of around 40-45% for college women.…”

At a large midwestern state university, 330 women living in dormitories responded to a questionnaire at the beginning of the winter term. About two-thirds were freshmen or sophomores, were between the ages of 18 and 19, had grades between 2.0 and 2.9 on a 4-point scale, and came from homes with a parental income of $10-20,000. Forty-three per cent reported having engaged in premarital coitus, two-thirds of these before the age of 19. More than three-fourths underestimated the percentage of virginity on campus. Virginity was related to church attendance among those women who reported they attended because they wanted to, but not among those who attended because their parents wanted them to. In the spring of 1971 at a large Rocky Mountain area state university, 166 mainly undergraduate students drawn from an introductory psychology class and from socialpolitical and non social-political activist groups were given Kerpelman's Politico-Economic Conservatism Scale (PEC), Kerpelman's Political Activity Scale, two intelligence tests the Quick Word Test (QWT) and the Control Test AA (CTAA), the Trait Anxiety Inventory, the revised Alienation Scale, the Gordon Personality Profile, and the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale. Nine subgroups were created, consisting of left, right, and middle ideology for nonactivists, social-political activists, and non social-political activists.The PEC means ranged from 1.4 for the leftist social-political activists to 4.9 for the rightist non social-political activists, with a mean for all students of 3.4 on a 7-point scale. The social-political activists were more active on the Political Activity Scale than were the non social-political activists and the nonactivists, while the leftist students were more active than the middle and rightist students. The social-political activists gave more correct answers on the Q W T and the non social-political activists on the CTAA than did the nonactivists. The activists had higher grade-point averages and lower levels of trait anxiety than did the nonactivists. The activists described themselves as more responsible than did the nonactivists. The leftist students were more external in their control scores than were the rightist students.-Interuniversity Psychological a n d Counseling Center, Vanderbilt University. 0 1066-09 /SBR[567

“…The figures characterizing this period range from about 50 per cent (Christensen and Gregg, 1970, for their non-Mormon population; Teevan, 1972) to a little less than 60 per cent (Cams, 1973;Hobart, 1972;Kaats and Davis, 1970;Luckey and Nass, 1969). If there was in the 20-25 years following World War II a second 20th-century "sex revolution," it apparently did not take the form of increased heterosexual behavior of males (Vener et al, 1972, emphasize this in cross-generation comparisons of high school students).…”
