Despite increasing egalitarian values expressed among college students, dating is still characterized by traditional gender roles. Because traditional dating scripts are predominantly recited and enacted to the extent that men initiate and pay, there are assumptions that the sexual processes have not changed. This study investigates the sexual processes of male-initiated and female-initiated dates among college students in the US. Using data from the Online College Social Life Survey, we ask whether traditional components of the dating script explain traditional sexual outcomes (non-genital contact), as well as whether alternative dating scripts explain nontraditional sexual outcomes (genital contact). Using multivariate logistic regression models, we found that violations of the traditional script are associated with higher odds of genital contact for male- and female-initiated dates; however, the predictors of genital contact for female-initiated dates are not the same as those for male-initiated dates. This study highlights the variability of sexual scripts in dating practices, suggesting that the sexual scripts associated with dates are not as homogenous as we have previously believed.
尽管大学生中表达出的平等主义价值观在不断增加，但约会仍然以传统的性别角色为特征。由于传统的约会模式主要是男性主动并支付费用，所以人们认为性过程并没有改变。本研究调查了美国大学生中男性主动和女性主动约会的性过程。利用在线大学社交生活调查的数据，我们探讨约会模式的传统组成部分是否能解释传统的性结果（非生殖器接触），以及替代性约会模式是否能解释非传统的性结果（生殖器接触）。通过多元逻辑回归模型，我们发现违反传统模式与男性和女性主动约会中发生生殖器接触的较高几率相关；然而，女性主动约会中生殖器接触的预测因素与男性主动约会的不同。这项研究突出了约会行为中性模式的变异性，表明与约会相关的性模式并不像我们之前认为的那样单一。
