Abstract

Gender differences in 136 college students’ attitudes toward risky sexual activities (e.g., multiple partners and unprotected sexual activity) and self-reported changes in attitudes and behaviors since enrolling were examined. Both genders agree that certain risky behaviors are acceptable, but gender differences are noted for other behaviors and for attitude changes.
