Sexual scripts are cultural expectations for how men and women are supposed to behave sexually in different situations. The finding that nearly half of high school students believe that a woman saying "No" to sexual advances doesn't really mean it suggests that many of these students may be following a cultural script that minimizes the importance of a woman's refusal. This highlights the power of sexual scripts to influence attitudes toward sexual aggression. The other options (violent pornography, spontaneous romance, and sex roles) may also have some influence on attitudes toward sexual aggression, but they are less directly related to the specific finding in the survey.
