title: Sexual esteem, sexual depression, and sexual preoccupation in the exchange approach to sexuality.
abstract: A sample of 124 undergraduate students completed the Sexuality Scale and the Sexual Approach Questionnaire developed by Snell. The analysis indicated that those who scored high on the Exchange approach to sexuality (n = 43) scored lower on Sexual Esteem and higher on Sexual Depression and Sexual Preoccupation than those who scored low on Exchange (n = 43). Furthermore, men (n = 49) scored higher on preoccupation with sex than did women (n = 75).
