We examined the scripts associated with heterosexual Hispanic and White young adults' most recent initial sexual or romantic encounter using two samples of heterosexual undergraduates: 224 Hispanic students (49% female) and 316 White students (51% female). Scripts were identified for three types of encounters: dating, hanging out, and hooking up. The three scripts had more than half of their actions in common. Items such as get to know one another, feel aroused, and engage in physical contact were present across all scripts for all participant groups. As expected, traditional gender roles were present within all scripts, but more so for dates than for hangouts and hookups. Men reported a higher presence of traditional gender roles than women across scripts and put a higher priority on the goal of physical intimacy across all scripts. Dating was the most prevalent script for all young adults, contradicting contemporary claims that "dating is dead." In terms of ethnicity, a higher proportion of Hispanic than White young adults went on dates, and a higher proportion of White students went on hookups, implying that social and contextual variables are important in understanding young adults' intimate relationships.
我们使用两组异性恋本科生样本,研究了与异性恋西班牙裔和白人青年最近初次性接触或浪漫邂逅相关的脚本:224名西班牙裔学生(49%为女性)和316名白人学生(51%为女性)。确定了三种邂逅类型的脚本:约会、出去玩和一夜情。这三种脚本有超过一半的行为是相同的。诸如相互了解、产生性冲动和进行身体接触等项目在所有参与者组的所有脚本中都存在。正如预期的那样,所有脚本中都存在传统性别角色,但约会中的传统性别角色比出去玩和一夜情中更为明显。在所有脚本中,男性报告的传统性别角色比女性更多,并且在所有脚本中都更优先考虑身体亲密的目标。约会是所有年轻人中最普遍的脚本,这与当代“约会已死”的说法相矛盾。在种族方面,西班牙裔青年约会的比例高于白人青年,而白人学生一夜情的比例更高,这意味着社会和背景变量在理解年轻人的亲密关系中很重要。
