Guided by social exchange theory, we utilized thematic analysis to qualitatively identify themes related to the rewards and costs of hooking up from six focus groups of first-year students (N = 38). We then identified themes within their perceptions of alternatives to hooking up (i.e., alternatives) and expectations of what one desires in a hook up (i.e., comparisons). Overall, we found multiple reward-related themes of having fun, fulfilling sexual desires, gaining a sense of status or accomplishment, and the potential to develop a relationship. Cost themes included regrets/mistake, ambiguity, increased sexual risk, and loss of respect. Comparison and alternative levels focused on relationship standard, attractiveness standard, social script standard, romantic relationships, and friends with benefits. Gender differences and participants' perceptions of the college environment were also explored throughout each theme. Implications for college sexual education programs and future research are discussed.
在社会交换理论的指导下，我们利用主题分析方法从六个一年级学生焦点小组（n=38）中定性识别与 hookup 的回报和成本相关的主题。然后，我们在他们对 hookup 替代方案（即替代品）的看法和对 hookup 期望的看法（即比较）中确定了主题。总的来说，我们发现了多个与乐趣、满足性欲望、获得地位或成就感以及发展关系的潜力相关的回报主题。成本主题包括遗憾/错误、模糊性、增加性风险和失去尊重。比较和替代水平侧重于关系标准、吸引力标准、社会脚本标准、浪漫关系和炮友。性别差异和参与者对大学环境的看法也在每个主题中进行了探讨。讨论了对大学性教育计划和未来研究的影响。
