Theoretical and clinical anecdotal studies have assigned considerable significance to the witnessing of and fantasizing about parental sexuality for a person's later understanding and behavior, especially with regard to sexuality and male-female relations. Little is known, however, about the psychology of primal-scene experience, especially if one seeks any systematic or formal data. Even such basic facts as the incidence of recalled primal-scene exposure or fantasy are unavailable, as are any normative data regarding the reactions that may be provoked by such experience. In this study, 345 college student respondents completed questionnaires stating their age and reactions at the time of their initial awareness of their parents' sexual relationship, any actual primal-scene observations, and their ideas and reactions to the idea of their parents' present sexual lives.
理论研究和临床轶事研究都十分重视目睹父母性行为及对此进行幻想对一个人日后理解和行为的重要意义，尤其是在性和男女关系方面。然而，对于原初场景体验的心理学，我们知之甚少，特别是如果有人寻求任何系统或正式的数据。甚至像回忆起原初场景暴露或幻想的发生率这样的基本事实都无法获得，也没有关于这种经历可能引发的反应的任何规范数据。在这项研究中，345名大学生受访者填写了问卷，陈述了他们初次意识到父母的性关系时的年龄和反应、任何实际的原初场景观察，以及他们对父母当前性生活的想法和反应。
