Modified Sexuality Standards Scale

Another way of assessing sexuality standards would be to assess how acceptible sex or abstinence is for self for a range of relationship levels.

We asked each participant:

On a scale from 1 to 9, please indicate the degree to which you approve or disprove of the following behaviors for yourself. Circle the number of the response for each statement that best describes your feelings regarding that statement.


How strongly do you believe that these behaviors are acceptable for you?


Abstinence (no sexual activity) between you and your partner if you are engaged.
