Study on Human Sexuality Attitudes in Hispanic Males and Females | Chapter 2 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 12

The overarching biological hypothesis is evolution. With its recent surge in popularity, evolution has also grown to be a key concept in psychology and may perhaps be the field's leading theory at the moment. The sexual views of male and female Hispanic college students at a university close to the Mexican border are the focus of the current study. We refer to them as "Hispanic" since it is the phrase that is most commonly used. Other regions of the US may even view "Hispanic" as inappropriate while "Latino" is viewed as more acceptable. Three Psychology classes were given the survey by their researcher teachers. who, before allowing the students to read the consent section to themselves, read the survey's opening paragraph aloud to all of the pupils. 130 college students' sexual views were examined at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, a Hispanic-serving institution in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, close to the border with Mexico. In an updated version of a previously used sexual attitudes test, men and women scored their levels of agreement with 38 items on a 1-to-5 scale. These students generally agreed with one another, but there were some significant discrepancies, with men being more tolerant than women on several issues. The data' direction revealed that in our Hispanic sample, both men and women detested relationship infidelity, whether it entailed having sex or making a commitment to someone else. Again, this contradicts Buss, who would have anticipated that while men are more concerned than women about the partner having sexual relations with another, women are more likely to criticise the partner's emotional interest in another.
