This article attempts to illuminate the understanding of swinging, or mate swapping, an increasingly common form of extramarital sexual activity. A theoretical formulation argues that swinging is a form of extramarital sexual activity which serves to define as good and acceptable a behavior that in other forms and in the past has been considered deviant or immoral. A stratified area probability sample of 579 married adults was drawn from a Midwestern community of 40,000. Areas investigated included community knowledge and perception of swinging, values of respondents with regard to participation in and acceptance of swinging, and the incidence of swinging in the community. Most respondents dispproved of mate swapping as well as other forms of extramarital sex. Over half of the respondents knew about mate swapping, although less than 7% of the sample would consider participating. Swinging was found to exist in the community, but less than 2% of the respondents had ever participted. The data analysis is descriptive and exploratory, focusing on social correlates and characterisitics.
本文试图阐明对交换性伴侣这一越来越常见的婚外性活动形式的理解。一种理论表述认为，交换性伴侣是婚外性活动的一种形式，它将一种在其他形式和过去被视为越轨或不道德的行为定义为良好且可接受的行为。从一个拥有4万人口的中西部社区抽取了一个由579名已婚成年人组成的分层区域概率样本。调查的领域包括社区对交换性伴侣的了解和认知、受访者对参与和接受交换性伴侣的价值观，以及该社区中交换性伴侣的发生率。大多数受访者不赞成交换性伴侣以及其他形式的婚外性行为。超过一半的受访者了解交换性伴侣，尽管样本中不到7%的人会考虑参与。研究发现该社区存在交换性伴侣的现象，但只有不到2%的受访者曾经参与过。数据分析具有描述性和探索性，重点关注社会关联因素和特征。
