Abstract

The current research explores the relationship between Sexual Double Standard (SDS) endorsement and women’s sexual health and attitudes. Women (n = 705) completed an SDS endorsement scale, and then answered a variety of questions in three main categories of outcome variables: sexual comfort, sexual reputation, and sexual health. Results suggest that women’s SDS endorsement was not related to women’s sexual comfort. Further, SDS endorsement was slightly positively related to how concerned women were about their sexual reputation. Regarding sexual health, SDS endorsement was related to a shorter timespan since women’s last OBGYN screening, and unrelated to women’s discomfort discussing birth control with their OBGYN. Results suggest there is much more to explore in targeted studies on the relationship of SDS endorsement to women’s perceptions of their sexual reputations and their interactions with OBGYNs with respect to the SDS. Previous and related research is discussed, along with implications of the current research.

 抽象的

当前的研究探讨了性双重标准（SDS）认可与女性性健康和态度之间的关系。女性（ n = 705）完成了 SDS 认可量表，然后回答了三个主要结果变量类别的各种问题：性舒适、性声誉和性健康。结果表明，女性对 SDS 的认可与女性的性舒适度无关。此外，SDS 的认可与女性对其性声誉的关注程度略有正相关。关于性健康，SDS 的认可与女性上次妇产科筛查后的时间间隔较短有关，与女性在与妇产科医生讨论节育问题时感到不适无关。结果表明，关于 SDS 认可与女性对其性声誉的看法以及她们与妇产科医生在 SDS 方面的互动之间的关系，还有更多需要探索的针对性研究。讨论了先前的相关研究以及当前研究的影响。
