Abstract

This paper concerns the effects of personal support to the sexual double standard on marital attitude and marital desirability among young adults. The decline in the marriage rate is a situation faced by the majority of developed countries today. One of the driven factors behind the long-term decline in the marriage rate is the changing attitudes towards marriage among young adults. The individual’s marital attitude shapes the family composition in society; therefore, it is significant to examine “To what extent does the agreeableness towards explicit sexual double standard affect the marriage attitude among adults?” The explicit measurement tools in this work include the demographic questionnaire, Sexual Double Standard Scales (SDSS), and Marital Attitude Scale (MAS). A new measure of SDSS with 20 items in a 7-point Likert scale is proposed by uniting and modifying Muehlenhard and McCoy’s SDSS in 1991 and Gómez Berrocal’s SDSS in 2019. A new MAS measure with 15 items on a 7-point Likert scale is developed by modifying an existing MAS, and achieved internal reliability and construct validity in assessing respondents’ marital attitudes in three dimensions.
