“…For example, DeSteno et al (2002) found with a college-age sample that both men and women reported that they would be more upset by hypothetical sexual infidelity, and no gender differences were found when using a Likert measure of agreement/disagreement and a checklist of target feeling adjectives. Several other studies have replicated this lack of consistent gender differences in college-age samples (Dantzker and Eisenman 2005;Eisenman and Dantzker 2006;Takahashi et al 2006) and one adult sample with a mean age of 48 years (Green and Sabini 2006).…”

Past research has suggested that men are more upset by imagined sexual than emotional infidelity, and women are more upset by imagined emotional infidelity than sexual infidelity. However, experience with infidelity, methodology, and age and gender of the sample may help to explain inconsistent results. Two hundred ninety-four English-speaking undergraduate students and 325 noncollege adults in a large mid-Atlantic urban area of the U. S. completed forced-choice or continuous-scale anonymous questionnaires regarding jealousy over a mate's hypothetical infidelity. Chi-square and MANOVA analyses replicated previous findings of the expected gender difference in all hypothetical forced-choice scenarios. However, results for those participants who reported experience with actual infidelity demonstrated little support for the traditional evolutionary model, as there were no gender differences in which aspect of hypothetical infidelity was reported to be more distressing, and no gender differences at the college level in terms of which aspect of infidelity received the greatest focus. These findings, extrapolated from both undergraduates and adults and accounting for the impact of actual, primed memory of experience of infidelity on hypothetical jealousy scenarios, raise important questions about the validity of hypothetical scenarios of jealousy as proxies for real reactions to actual infidelity. The results of the present study suggest that the lack of a consistent, replicable gender difference across the lifespan may be explained by two related factors: age and actual experience with infidelity.

“…In this sense, the influence of patriarchal cultures may be greater on sexuality if they display a stronger sex-role ideology and gender differences (Eisenman & Dantzker, 2006;Pacheco et al, 2007).…”

This study explores the relation between gender differences and sexuality among young Hispanic people. Eight hundred and forty young people from Spain and Mexico filled out a self-administered questionnaire about sexuality (sexual experience, sexual orientation and sexual relationships) and gender (self-identification). Men in both Spain and Mexico more commonly report the practice of masturbation and vaginal sex, and are more likely to be unfaithful than women. Women in both countries report more steady partners and longer length of relationships. There were greater gender differences for Mexican men and women than for Spanish men and women, in terms of sexual frequency, sexual orientation, infidelity, etc. Therefore, gender may play an important role in young people's sexuality, more so in Mexico than Spain.

“…Much of the current sexual health literature on Hispanic college students focuses on HIV/AIDS knowledge (e.g., Johnston Polacek, Hicks, & Oswalt, 2007), human papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge (e.g., Schiffner & Buki, 2006), sexually transmitted infection (STI) knowledge (Jones, Patsdaughter, & Chadwell, 2011), attitudes about a specific a components of sexual health (e.g., monogamy; , or attitudes about sexuality issues in general (e.g., Eisenman & Dantzker, 2006).…”

Public health data have shown higher rates of unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections for Hispanic individuals as compared with White individuals in the United States. This study compared sexual health behaviors and sexual outcomes between Hispanic and White college students (N = 1,008) at a Hispanic serving institution. Using chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and Brown-Forsythe tests, few differences between the groups were found. Possible causes for this non-difference and implications for college health professionals and campus administrators are discussed. ResumenInformación sobre salud pública ha señalado porcentajes más altos de embarazos no planeados y enfermedades transmitidas sexualmente en individuos hispanos al compararlos con individuos blancos en los EUA. Este estudio comparó conductas sexuales saludables y resultados sexuales entre estudiantes universitarios hispanos y blancos (n = 1008) en una institución de educación superior de servicio a hispanos. Usando chi-square en pruebas Mann Whitney U and Brown Forsyth se encontraron pocas diferencias entre los dos grupos. Causas posibles para esta falta de diferencia e implicaciones para profesionales de salud y administradores universitarios se discuten.Hispanic youth and emerging adults have higher rates of consequences from sexual behavior than many other ethnic and racial groups. For example, Hispanic youth have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the United States (55.7 births per 1,000 females aged
