  • The social construction of sexual interaction in heterosexual relationships : a qualitative analysis

    Creator:
    Greaves, Kathleen M.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined the process by which couples, in the context of a heterosexual romantic relationship, participate in sexual activity. As they did so, their interactions helped to construct their relationship. Social construction theory and the gender perspective provided the theoretical foundation for this qualitative research. Nine heterosexual couples...

  • Characterization and localization of arginine vasotocin receptors in the brain and kidney of an amphibian

    Creator:
    Boyd, Sunny K.
    Abstract:
    Because arginine vasotocin (AVT) activates male sexual behaviors in the rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa), quantitative autoradiography with radiolabelled arginine vasopressin (³H-AVP) was used to localize and characterize putative AVT receptors in the brain of this amphibian. Binding of ³H-AVP to sites within the medial pallium was saturable, specific, reversible, of...

  • Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

    Creator:
    Latham, Kristin Lynn
    Abstract:
    Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...

  • Adolescent sexual initiation : a predictor of adult female romantic attachment?

    Creator:
    Waggoner, April R.
    Abstract:
    There is a knowledge gap concerning the outcomes of early adolescent sexual initiation (ASI). In particular, the influence of early ASI upon adult attachment is unknown. A multiple regression study was conducted to address this knowledge gap. Adult partner/spouse attachment was the criterion variable, and the predictor variables included both...

  • Family planning and sexual risk-taking among Mexican immigrant men : how does fatherhood matter?

    Creator:
    Cancel-Tirado, Doris I.
    Abstract:
    Men are frequently left out of the picture in the study of family planning and sexual risk behavior. This approach means few programs and policies address men's family planning and sexual health issues. There is also a lack of understanding of the role fatherhood plays in men's development and in...

  • The Relationship Between Sexual Orientation Identity and Specific Health Behaviors

    Creator:
    Muzacz, Arien K.
    Abstract:
    The American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics states that counselors and counselor trainees must be competent providers of multicultural counseling, able to practice effectively with clients whose identities differ from their own. Counseling students and trainees receive very little training around sexual orientation and how to work with clients who...

  • College women, alcohol consumption, and negative sexual outcomes

    Creator:
    Good, Debora L.
    Abstract:
    While it is generally assumed that alcohol consumption plays some role in the advent of negative sexual outcomes among college students (sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancies, and date rape), that role has not been empirically demonstrated or quantified. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of alcohol...

  • Pheromonal mediation of reproductive behavior in the brown tree snake

    Creator:
    Greene, Michael John
    Abstract:
    In animals, reproductive behaviors serve to attract individuals together during the breeding season and to coordinate the behavioral and physiological states of individuals so that mating can successfully occur. In snakes, the various reproductive behaviors including courtship, mating, courtship inhibition, male combat and trailing are mediated primarily by pheromones. Pheromones...

  • Chemical signaling and pheromone evolution in plethodontid salamanders

    Creator:
    Palmer, Catherine Anne
    Abstract:
    My dissertation focuses on the evolutionary forces that have shaped the chemical signaling system of plethodontid salamanders. Pheromones mediate two phases of plethodontid reproduction: mate attraction prior to courtship and female persuasion during courtship. Substrate-borne chemical signals are believed to play an important role in mate attraction for these animals....

    Creator:
    Vaccaro, Elyse A.
    Abstract:
    Darwin devised the evolutionary theory of sexual selection to account for the manifold extravagances of courtship behaviors and displays. Mating interactions represent a major evolutionary process driving the elaboration, vibrancy, and peculiarity of these courtship traits. For my dissertation research, I strived to elucidate the dynamics that constitute the complex...
