College Student Perceptions of Virginity, Sex and Intimate Relationships
Faculty Sponsor
Vikas Gumbhir, Gonzaga University
Research Project Abstract
My research question is what social and cultural influences have the greatest impact on undergraduates perceptions of sexual behavior.
I have been conducting in-depth interviews as my method of research. I have conducted about 28 interviews and am in the process of transcribing and analyzing them right now. I am analyzing what patterns emerge based on language to see what is common when it comes to Gonzaga students and concepts of virginity.
The types of questions I have asked have been open ended questions about the individual’s background, including religion, their media consumption, their familial values, political affiliation and thoughts about hook-up culture.My transcriptions will be complete within a few weeks and I have been coding the language as I've been transcribing. I look forward to sharing all my findings at the conference.
