| Abstract: | This study examines the predictors of premarital, extramarital, and homosexual permissiveness in an attempt to arrive at a framework of general sexual permissiveness. Data from a national probability sample were used. The results indicate that the three types of permissivieness are strongly correlated with one another and have some common predictors. Age and religiosity are found to be negative predictors and education and freedom of expression are found to be positive predictors. A potential framework of general sexual permissivieness emerges from these results. |
