- Abstract
-
In a questionnaire administered to 314 undergraduate college students, most respondents reported an increase in dating opportunities during the beginning of a new dating relationship, and the frequency of this effect was correlated with heterosexual sexual activity. This phenomenon may be a result of psychological mechanisms and/or physiological changes that take place during the development of a new relationship.
