Flirting with Communication Accommodation Theory
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper presenting a study of flirting situations and behaviors. Communication accommodation theory holds that individuals change their manner of verbally or nonverbally communicating with each other, dependent on perceived differences between the individuals involved. This theory seems to fit inordinately well into the flirting situation, where individuals may not always be everything they seem to be. The purpose here is to investigate reactions to flirting behaviors in terms of communication accommodation theory in order to make some assessment of what accommodative processes individuals perceive. The research effort seeks to answer the question of what percentage of individual verbal and nonverbal flirting actions viewers perceive. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Formative Sexual Experiences: A Chapter by Laumann et al in Comparison with Other Contemporary Studies
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing formative sexual experiences. Formative sexual experiences are those which relate to initial sexual intercourse and in most social science investigations are based on heterosexual relations. Chapter 9: Formative Sexual Experiences in “The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States” by Laumann et al in 1994, reports the trends found in a national survey done in the United States. Generally, it was found by the investigators that there has been a steady decline in age over the past forty years in regards to first intercourse and this is consistent with other studies. Other results of the study found that men’s motive for their first sexual experience is largely that of sexual curiosity while women motivations are more emotionally based. Other results found that one in twenty women reported being forced for her first sexual intercourse and a substantial proportion of men and women reported preadolescent sexual conduct with adults. In relation to other studies conducted, Laumann’s results are consistent with those reported in the United States but some factors differ from studies conducted in other areas of the world such as New Zealand, Norway, and Thailand to name a few. While all studies reported that the age of initial sexual experience is declining, the long lasting effects on relationships are not always considered to be negative as reported in a New Zealand study and females and males differ in their sexual motivations in Nordic society. The differences in the studies are often based on the differences on the social norms and structures of each society and because of this Laumann’s report can only be taken in the context of American society in the early 1990s.
