Note. The n for each group varied among the dependent variables due to drop out, missing data, and whether or not the individual was sexually active. PED = positive effect dimension, NED = negative effect dimension, SL = sex life, LG = life in general, PATOG = perception of attitudes toward the opposite gender, ATS = attitudes toward sex, and SK = sexual knowledge.
*p = .05.
