Three samples of college students at a small New England liberal arts college received questionnaires regarding their sexual philosophies, behavior, relationship with most recent partner, self-perceived attractiveness, relationship with parents, use of drugs and alcohol, attitudes toward marriage and abortion, and other subjects. The college was sampled in 1974, 1979, and 1986. Sexual behavior increased dramatically from 1974 to 1979 and then decreased in 1986 to approximately where it was in 1974. The reason for this change, and findings regarding the relationships between sexual behavior and many of the variables cited above are discussed.
一所位于新英格兰地区的小型文理学院抽取了三组大学生样本，向他们发放了问卷，内容涉及性观念、性行为、与最近一任伴侣的关系、自我认知的吸引力、与父母的关系、毒品和酒精的使用、对婚姻和堕胎的态度以及其他主题。该学院分别于1974年、1979年和1986年进行了抽样。性行为从1974年到1979年急剧增加，然后在1986年下降到接近1974年的水平。本文讨论了这种变化的原因，以及性行为与上述诸多变量之间关系的研究结果。
