P-44 Hookup Culture: Predictors of Engagement in Casual Sex

Presenter Information

Cooper B. Hodges, Andrews University

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to attempt to discover statistical predictors of college student engagement in casual (hookup) sex. A nested multiple regression analysis revealed that religious internalization (F(199)=6.536, p<.000) and tobacco use (F(199)=4.0914, p<.001) caused significant changes in the regression model. Alcohol use, marijuana use, parental involvement/conflict, and pornography use were not significant. The β values produced by the regression became significant in model two, specifically for identified regulation (β= -0.23, t(199)= -3.412, p<.000), remaining significant through the rest of the regression, increasing somewhat in model 4, for tobacco use (β=.193, t(199)= 2.50, p=.013) Results show a strong indication that religious internalization is a strong predictor of risk behaviors within a prohibitionist university setting.
