Latina Sexual Scripts

The development of sexual scripts is based in an understanding of messages and meanings an individual is given about sexual roles and behaviors through cultural, interpersonal, and intrapsychic forces. In observing diverse cultures, there was a trend in scripts of women; they are less accepted and are viewed negatively. The main focus of the current study leans towards Latina women. Parental concerns regarding dating, family communication about sexual issues, family rules about dating, and actual dating and sexual experiences will be observed more into depth.
