An Undergraduate view on sexuality: Virginity beliefs as predictors of sexual attitudes among college students
The study aims to see the predictive relationship of the three virginity scripts or beliefs as constructed by Carpenter (2001), to the four sexual attitudes as described by Hendrick, Hendrick, and Reich (2006). As part of Fishbein & Azjen's (1980) theory of reasoned action it was stated tha...

| Summary: | The study aims to see the predictive relationship of the three virginity scripts or beliefs as constructed by Carpenter (2001), to the four sexual attitudes as described by Hendrick, Hendrick, and Reich (2006). As part of Fishbein & Azjen's (1980) theory of reasoned action it was stated that attitudes reflects a person's belief. The previous and latter was used as the basis for an integrative framework for the predictive relationship between virginity beliefs and sexual attitudes. Using a sample of 309 undergraduate students, a multiple regression analysis was used to see if virginity beliefs can become predictors of sexual attitudes. Results show that the three predictors - gift, stigma, and process, explained 97.5% of the variance (R2=0.95, F(3,305)= 1996.5, p < 0.05). Findings suggest that each virginity script predicted the appropriate sexual attitudes significantly as hypothesized by the researchers. |
