The researcher's study is composed of 200 female Filipino adolescents, 18-25 years old, from various colleges in Metro Manila. Researchers gave out two scales, specifically the Sexual Risk Taking Behavior Scale (SRTBS) and the UNIDIVE INVENTORY scale. The Sexual Risk Taking Behavior Scale have five sub-categories under it, namely, having multiple sex partners, using contraceptives, engaging in premarital sex, risk proneness, and self regulation. The researchers' data was analyzed by using Cronbach's Alpha and Descriptive Statistics. And by correlating the obtained data from the respondents will help the researchers track down if there are any significant relationships to their sexual behavior.
