Presentation Abstract

In past psychological studies researching impulsive and risky sexual behaviors were typically only studied in men (Derefinko et al., 2014). The purpose of this study is to further the research in men and to compare those traits between men and women. The study consists of two surveys and a demographic form; the study will be available to Coastal Carolina students via Coastal's SONA system. The two surveys being used are the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-15) and the Sexual Risk Survey (SRS); the demographics page asks the participant their age, gender, and sexual preference. Participants will anonymously fill out the surveys and demographics page. This study will examine whether or not gender has an impact on impulsive and risky sexual behaviors. Possible implications of this study include intervention programs, updated sexual education, and using this research to further the study.
