Changes over time in teenage sexual relationships: comparing the high school class of 1950, 1975, and 2000.
This study investigated the sexual attitudes and experiences in adolescence of 242 individuals who graduated from the same high school in the northeastern United States over a 50-year period. Specifically, a survey was mailed to members of the class of 1950, the class of 1975, and the class of 2000 to examine changes over time. Overall findings suggest a significant change in sexual attitudes and experiences when comparing the class of 1950 to the class of 1975 and 2000.
