Question 6

Most adolescent homosexual behaviour occurs

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that most adolescent homosexual behavior occurs between peers, rather than involving an adult seduction or occurring spontaneously. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that homosexual behavior is more common among girls than boys. While there has been an increased prevalence of adolescents self-identifying as LGBT in recent years, this does not necessarily indicate an increase in the actual behavior.

Question 7

According to this standard for premarital coitus,which of the following states intercourse outside of marriage is considered wrong for both males and females,regardless of circumstances?

Accepted Answer

According to the standard of premarital coitus, abstinence is the only choice that considers intercourse outside of marriage wrong for both males and females, regardless of circumstances. The other options, such as permissiveness with or without affection or a double standard, suggest that premarital sex may be acceptable under certain circumstances, which is not consistent with this standard.

Question 8

Teen sex has attracted a great deal of attention and study during the last two decades.Today close to __________ of both male and female students have engaged in intercourse by grade 11.

Accepted Answer

According to the question, the percentage of both male and female students who have engaged in intercourse by grade 11 is being asked. Out of the given choices, the best choice would be B) one-half, as it signifies 50%.

Question 10

Which term do the authors of your text suggest is more neutral and inclusive than the term "pre-marital" sex?

Accepted Answer

The authors of the text suggest that "non-marital" sex is a more neutral and inclusive term than "pre-marital" sex as it does not assume marriage as the ultimate goal or standard for sexual activity.

Question 11

In order to better understand premarital sexuality,it is necessary to

Accepted Answer

Premarital sexuality involves the relationship between two individuals. It is important to focus on the couple and the nature of their relationship to better understand their sexual behavior. Factors such as communication, trust, and respect can influence their decision to engage in sexual activity before marriage. Measuring self-image, self-esteem, body image, and sense of control can provide some insight, but these factors alone do not fully explain premarital sexuality. The mass media may also have some influence, but it is not the main factor in determining premarital sexual behavior.

Question 12

Which of the following is an example of a sexual script in the introduction of sexual behaviours to adolescent experiences?

Accepted Answer

Option B describes a typical sexual script where two people engage in a series of progressively more intimate activities before engaging in sexual behaviors. This script reinforces the idea of consent and helps adolescents understand the importance of communication and trust in sexual experiences. Options A and C both describe specific sexual experiences but do not provide information on the introduction to sexual behaviors. Option D is incorrect as the other options do provide examples of sexual scripts.

Question 13

The most recent data on the average age of first intercourse suggest that it

Accepted Answer

According to studies and surveys, the average age of first intercourse in Canada appears to be increasing. This trend has been observed in recent years and is believed to be due to factors such as increased awareness and education regarding sexual health, as well as a shift towards later marriage and delayed sexual activity among young people.

Accepted Answer

Research studies and surveys have consistently shown that the decrease in age at first intercourse has been more pronounced for women than for men over the past 30 years. This trend is observed not just in Canada but in many developed countries around the world. Factors such as changing societal attitudes towards sexuality, increased access to sexual education and contraception, and greater gender equality may have contributed to this shift. There is no evidence to suggest that this trend has been significantly different for any particular ethnic or minority group in Canada.

Question 15

Research has found that,compared to adolescents who had not had sexual intercourse,respondents who had sexual intercourse were more likely to

Accepted Answer

The research found that adolescents who had sexual intercourse were more likely to have poorer relationships with their parents. None of the other options were found in the research.

Question 17

Which of the following is TRUE with regards to women's average age of first intercourse across countries?

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that the median age of first intercourse for women in Canada is similar to, if not lower than, that of many African countries. This dispels the myth that young Canadians are more sexually promiscuous than their counterparts in other countries. Brazil may have a lower median age of first intercourse compared to Canada, but the question only asks for a comparison between Canada and African countries. Option D is also incorrect as studies have shown that median ages at which women first have intercourse are relatively similar across various countries in Africa, South America, and North America.

Question 18

In the last two decades a key development in premarital intercourse has been

Accepted Answer

According to research, there has been a greater increase in the proportion of females participating in premarital intercourse as compared to males in the last two decades. This trend has been observed not only in Canada but also in other countries.

Accepted Answer

According to multiple studies and surveys, including those conducted by the World Health Organization and Guttmacher Institute, the median age range for first experience of intercourse in these regions is typically between 16-19 years old. While some individuals may have their first sexual experience earlier or later, this age range is the most common. Choices A and B are too young based on these studies, and choice D is too broad to accurately represent the median age range.

Question 20

In Canada,the rate of males engaging in sexual intercourse by the age of 19 has

Accepted Answer

According to the information given, there is no indication of a significant increase or decrease in the rate of males engaging in sexual intercourse by the age of 19 since the generation born in 1952-1956. Therefore, the answer is choice C, stayed about the same since the generation born in 1952-1956. Option D can be ruled out as it compares the rate of males engaging in intercourse by the age of 19 with the rate of males engaging in intercourse by the age of 15, which is not relevant to the question.
