    Introduction

    The SAAQ is a 44-item self report measure which assesses (I) sexual activitiesas well as (II) sexual attitudes.

    I. Sexual activities include1. Age at first intercourse2. Birth control efficacy3. Intercourse partners4. HIV-risk behaviors5. STDs6. Pregnancies7. Sexual behaviors of peers

    II. Sexual attitudes assessed include 1. Sexual preoccupation. This subscale assesses positive attitudes

    toward, and high frequency of, masturbation, being turned-on by pornographicpictures or sexual themes, and thinking about sex frequently. This scale has 15items (α = .91) and has been shown to be correlated with teen pregnancy andsexual abuse.

    2. Sexual permissiveness. This 12-item subscale (α = .96) assessespermissive attitudes toward a relatively normative set of desires and behaviors,including intimate affection, light and heavy petting, and voluntary intercourse.

    3. Internal and external pressure to engage in sex. This 6-item subscale(α = .70) assesses the belief that a sense of maturity and respect from friends willbe gained, that is sex is expected, and that one will feel more loved and wantedupon having sex.

    4. Negative attitude toward sex. This 10-item subscale (α = .85)assesses attitudes that sex is dirty and embarrassing, being frightened by sex,believing that sex results in the loss of respect for self and from friends, andworrying about becoming pregnant.

    5. Sexual Aversion. The SAAQ measures this construct by the followingequation: -1 * (permissiveness) + (negative attitude toward sex). The constructahs been shown to be related to childhood sexual behavior problems earlier indevelopment for sexually abused females.

    6. Sexual Ambivalence. The SAAQ measures this construct by thefollowing equation: (preoccupation) + (aversion). Thus, this is a measure ofsimultaneous compulsion coupled with an aversion (see preliminary studiessection1). This construct has been shown to be related to dissociative symptomsearlier in development for adolescents sexually abused in childhood.
