Parental Influence on Mate Selection and Romantic Ideals

چکیده
ABSTRACT A review of the literature suggests that cultural differences between Asian and Western societies account for a wide disparity on sexual attitudes and mate selection practices. The influence of parents in the development of romantic/sexual attitudes and mate selection has also consistently been found to be a factor in both cultures. This study examines the relative influence of culture and perceived parental influence on several attitudinal areas of love, sex, and mate selection in a comparative study of Korean and U.S. college students. Data analysis indicates a prevailing cultural difference. Korean young adults were found to be more conservative on every dependent variable. Additionally, the perceived influence of parents on life choices emerged as an influential factor on dependent variables regardless of the respondent's culture of origin. Finally, multiple regression models were tested to reveal other independent factors influencing personal perceptions of sexuality. With few exceptions, culture and parental influence remain the best predictors of attitudes about love and sexuality.
