Abstract

This study assessed whether enrollment in sexual education courses affects University of Northern Iowa students' sexual beliefs and actions. The second goal of the study was to examine whether the current cohort of UNI students' sexual behaviors differed from previous UNI populations. It was expected that participation in a sexual education course would lead students to develop more liberal sexual attitudes and behaviors in comparison to students in a control class. No differences were found on attitudes, and while there were sexual behavioral differences between the classes, the hypothesis was not supported. The current sample of UNI female students was hypothesized to be less conservative in their sexual behaviors than the 1984 sample. More females in the 2000 sample reported participation in anal intercourse as an active partner. No differences were observed between the responses of the females in the 2000 sample and the females in 1984 sample. Implications will be discussed.
