Hooking up, or a sexual encounter ranging from kissing to intercourse that occurs on one occasion and where the partners do not necessarily expect future physical encounters or a committed relationship, has become commonplace among college students. This study (N = 500) examined gender differences in emotional reactions after hooking up and explored the relationship between specific processes in the hooking up encounter and reactions to hooking up. Compared to women, men reported more positive and fewer negative emotional reactions; however, both men and women reported that the experience was largely more positive than negative. Coital hook ups were associated with fewer negative emotional responses for men as compared to women who engaged in coital and non-coital hook ups and to men who engaged in non-coital hook ups. For those who engaged in coital hook ups, women reported that condom use was associated with fewer positive and more negative emotional reactions whereas condom use was related to fewer negative emotion reactions for men. Negative emotional reactions were also related to reports of depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness; however, feelings of loneliness were not related to negative emotional reactions after accounting for young adults' positive emotional reactions. Positive emotional reactions were related to hope for and discussion of a committed relationship. Implications for relationship education and future research are outlined.
hookup 或一次性的性行为,包括从亲吻到性交,发生在没有期望未来有身体接触或承诺关系的伴侣之间,在大学生中已经很常见。本研究(N=500)考察了性行为后的情绪反应中的性别差异,并探讨了性行为中的特定过程与性行为反应之间的关系。与女性相比,男性报告的情绪反应更积极,消极情绪反应更少;然而,男性和女性都报告说,这种经历总体上是积极的多于消极的。与同时进行性行为和非性行为的女性相比,与仅进行非性行为的男性相比,男性发生性行为的 hookup 与较少的消极情绪反应相关。对于那些进行性行为的 hookup 的人,女性报告说使用避孕套与较少的积极情绪反应和更多的消极情绪反应有关,而男性使用避孕套与较少的负面情绪反应有关。负面情绪反应也与抑郁症状和孤独感的报告有关;然而,在考虑到年轻人的积极情绪反应后,孤独感与性行为后的负面情绪反应无关。积极的情绪反应与对承诺关系的希望和讨论有关。概述了对关系教育和未来研究的影响。
