Eleven female undergraduate nursing students and 12 male undergraduates from a private southern university responded to a 163-item questionnaire, the Human Sexuality Knowledge and Attitude inventory, prior to and immediately following a formal course in human sexuality. The results of a pilot test indicated that improvement in respondents' total knowledge score (TOTSC) was correlated with completion of the course. No correlation existed between liberalization of attitudes toward sexuality and completion of the course. Demographic variables of age, sex, perception of self as "somewhat" or "slightly religious" and "somewhat liberal politically", and residence in small cities in the New England/Middle Atlantic area were significantly correlated with improvement of TOTSC. Demographic variables did not appear to affect liberalization of attitudes. The investigators concluded that the course is an effective model for assisting students to accumulate a knowledge base about sexuality. Although attitudinal change was not an immediate outcome of the course, perhaps this variable will change on a long-term basis.
来自南方一所私立大学的11名护理学本科女生和12名本科男生，在参加一门关于人类性学的正式课程之前和之后，立即回答了一份包含163个项目的问卷——《人类性学知识与态度量表》。一项预测试的结果表明，受访者的总知识得分（TOTSC）的提高与课程的完成情况相关。对性取向态度的自由化与课程的完成情况之间不存在相关性。年龄、性别、自我认知为“有点”或“稍微虔诚”以及“政治上有点自由主义”，以及居住在新英格兰/大西洋中部地区的小城市等人口统计学变量，与TOTSC的提高显著相关。人口统计学变量似乎并未影响态度的自由化。研究人员得出结论，该课程是帮助学生积累性学知识基础的有效模式。虽然态度改变并非该课程的直接成果，但或许这个变量会在长期内发生变化。
