This book was released on 2012 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men and women have historically been held to different standards regarding sexual behavior, known as the sexual double standard. Women have typically been judged more harshly than men for engaging in similar sexual behavior. Both genders report higher levels of sexual activity and more liberal attitudes since the 1940s. Males historically report engaging in more sexual activity than females. However, current studies indicate both genders are engaging in similar levels of sexual activity, although men continue to report slightly higher levels. It is unclear whether attitudes and judgments related to gender and sexuality have kept pace with reported behavior changes. The documented increase in sexual activity for men and women has coincided with a dramatic increase in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Consistent condom use during all forms of sexual activity has been recommended as the most reliable method of pregnancy and STD prevention. However, many individuals report inconsistent condom use. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the potential role the sexual double standard may play in the inconsistent use of condoms in college women. Undergraduate students were asked to read one of three vignettes (male provides condom, female provides condom, no condom was used) in which a casual sexual encounter was described. After reading the vignette, participants completed adjective ratings of the vignette actors, as well as measures of attitudes toward gender and sexuality, sexual history, and demographics. Contrary to expectations, results indicated that females were judged to be more likeable when she provided the condom compared to when no condom was used and more diplomatic when she provided the condom when compared to when no condom was used or when the male provided the condom. Males were equally liked across all condom conditions, and were rated as more diplomatic when providing the condom versus when no condom was used. Unexpectedly, neither judgments of the vignette actors nor attitudes toward gender and sexuality were predictive of personal sexual history. These findings suggest that gender differences in sexual behavior may be quite small, and that standards for sexual behavior are more equal than has been previously documented.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIDS is a serious health threat to college-aged people, due to their risky sexual behavior. To date, there remains no cure for AIDS, thus the only available weapon against the disease is education. Studies show that college students have knowledge and awareness of AIDS, but still do not practice safer sex by using condoms. This study tests the effects of symbolic modeling, a component of self-efficacy theory, on college-aged women's beliefs of self-efficacy that they can negotiate condom use with their partners. The study consists of an experiment comparing two different types of symbolic modeling, verbal and behavioral, and testing for the effectiveness of each in raising participants' levels of self-efficacy

This book was released on 2016 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American college students at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) are disproportionally at risk for experiencing negative sexual health outcomes. African Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 are disproportionally affected by unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, which are associated with risky sexual behaviors, including sex without a condom. The risks and stress associated with living at the intersection of both African American risk factors and college risk factors may play a role in the sexual behavior of African American college students. The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of condom use among African American undergraduates at predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). This study used the constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine the factors that contribute to condom use. An added factor the study examined was the relationship between different types of stress and condom use. The relationship between stress, intention to use condoms, and actual condom use was also investigated. The study employed a cross-sectional design and used surveys to collect data on African American college students between the ages of 18 and 24 years old at PWIs. The survey was disseminated through Qualtrics online survey software. The sample of 202 students engaged in a range of sexual behaviors (vaginal, oral, and anal sex) and had inconsistent condom use during these activities. The study found that constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior, namely intentions and attitudes, were independently significant at predicting condom use. However, the interaction between intentions and overall stress was more significant in predicting condom use among African American college students attending PWIs over the past 30 days. The study findings have promising implications for health education practitioners, university stakeholders, and researchers who are interested in reducing sexual health disparities. Coordinated efforts are needed to reduce the risk factors that contribute to unsafe sexual behaviors among college students, especially among those at greater risk such as African American college students at PWIs.

Book excerpt: The theory of planned behavior was used in this study to determine the intentions of undergraduates to use condoms during sexual activity. This theory states that behavior is a result of intention and intention is influenced by attitude toward the behavior, subjective norm, and perceived control of the behavior. Three hypotheses related to the theory were tested. The first hypothesis states that the theory of planned behavior can be used to predict intentions to use comdoms. Results provided partial support for this hypothesis: Perceived control was not significantly related to behavioral intentions. A second hypothesis was that the theory of planned behavior is a better predictor than an earlier version of the theory, the theory of reasoned action. Results showed that both theories could equally predict condom usage among undergraduates. A third hypothesis was that the underlying beliefs of males and females, as well as those who intend to use condoms and those don't intend to use condoms, would differ. Multivariate analyses showed that these differences were most significant regarding the outcome beliefs of the subjects. Two other hypotheses of interest are whether single undergraduates with more than one partner are more likely to use condoms than those with only one partner, and whether those who rate their chances of getting AIDS as high are more likely to use condoms than those who rate their chances as low. Results indicate no support for the above hypotheses.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are prevalent among American college students. College students engage in risky sexual behaviors and do not use condoms regularly. College freshmen are particularly at risk because they experience an increased level of liberty and have more opportunities to indulge in sexual intercourse. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations with and reasons for condom use and nonuse among college freshmen. The study design was cross sectional and a self-reported survey was used to gather data on demographics, sexual activity, and reasons for use and non-use of condoms among freshmen. All freshmen who reside in the campus residence halls were invited to participate in the study (n=900). Descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the study population. Frequencies and percentages of dependent and independent variables were analyzed using chi-square analysis while means and standard deviations were analyzed using the t-test. Results obtained from this research showed that sexual activity among students was high before they got into college and furthermore increased thereafter. Results also showed that condom use among college freshmen was low and the commonest reasons for non-use were not feeling at risk of contracting an STD, conviction that partner was monogamous and use of alternative form of birth control.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of two studies. Study one examined relationship factors' impact on condom use among college students. Study two examined perceived barriers and benefits of condom use among college students. Study One AbstractResearch indicates that a number of college students are at risk for HIV, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unplanned pregnancy as a result of their sexual behaviors. Specific behaviors placing college students at risk include having sex with multiple partners, poor communication about safer sex practices with their sexual partners and not using condoms consistently and correctly when engaging in sexual activity. The purpose of this paper is to identify potential differences in safer sex practices and factors that influence condom use among college students. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use and the impact of relationship status and other demographic factors on condom use. Analyses revealed that the number of lifetime vaginal sexual partners and participants' sex influenced condom use. There were no significant differences in relationship status, duration, trust, honesty and condom use. These findings should be considered with designing interventions to increase condom use among college students. Study Two AbstractDespite the efforts of health professionals, research indicates that a number of college students engage in high risk sexual behaviors including having sex with multiple partners, not discussing safer sex practices with their partners and not regularly using condoms when engaging in sexual activity. These behaviors increase the likelihood that individuals will contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD), HIV or have an unplanned pregnancy. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify perceived barriers and perceived benefits to condom use among this population. A four-page, 18-item survey was developed to determine participants' condom use, barriers to condom use, benefits of condom use, and participants' basic knowledge of STDs and safer sex practices. Results indicated the leading barriers to condom use were using condoms reduce pleasure, knowing a partner's sexual history, and condoms limit intimacy. The leading benefits of condom use were condoms prevent pregnancy and STDs, and condoms give the user a feeling of safety. Analyses also determined that the number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners significantly influenced the number of perceived barriers and participants' sex and number of vaginal, anal, and oral sexual partners influenced the number of perceived benefits to condom use. These findings may beneficial to those creating safer sex educational programs aimed at increasing rates of condom use among college students.
