The role of sexual attitudes has been largely ignored in explaining different emotional reactions to breakups among young adults. The authors examined the role of conservative sexual attitudes as a moderator of the relationship between breakups and depressive symptoms. Participants were 428 undergraduate students at a mid-western university. Data collection was completed in 2013. Participants completed the questionnaires in class or at home in this cross-sectional survey. OLS regression and Structural equation modeling were used in data analysis. Increased level of sexual conservativeness significantly exacerbated depression after the breakup for those college students who reported sexual behavior with their ex-partner. Although conservative sexual attitudes may show positive effects in promoting healthy sexual behavior, it was found here to be detrimentally related to depression after breakups for college students. This information may help university counselors gain a deeper understanding of post-breakup depression of college students.
在解释年轻人对分手的不同情绪反应时，性态度的作用在很大程度上被忽视了。作者研究了保守性态度作为分手与抑郁症状之间关系的调节因素所起的作用。参与者是一所中西部大学的428名本科生。数据收集于2013年完成。在这项横断面调查中，参与者在课堂上或家中完成问卷。数据分析采用了OLS回归和结构方程模型。对于那些报告与前任有性行为的大学生来说，性保守程度的提高在分手后显著加剧了抑郁。尽管保守性态度在促进健康性行为方面可能显示出积极作用，但在此研究中发现，它与大学生分手后的抑郁呈负相关。这些信息可能有助于大学辅导员更深入地了解大学生分手后的抑郁情况。
