TY - JOUR PY - 1952// TI - Dating Behavior as Evaluated by High-School Students JO - American journal of sociology A1 - Christensen, Harold T. SP - 580 EP - 586 VL - 57 IS - 6 N2 - A nation-wide sample of twenty-five hundred high-school students was studied to determine attitudes toward dating practices, with the following results: (I) Feelings of shyness in the dating situation were found to be rather common among both sexes. (2) Males were considered to be more careless, disrespectful, and sex-driven, while females were thought to be more inhibited, touchy, and money-minded. (3) Though males and females agreed on both self-criticisms and sex criticism, there were some differences-and these mainly in the direction of projected blame.
