| Assessing the Personal Negative Impacts of Hooking Up Experienced by College Students: Gender Differences and Mental Health. | Napper, L. E., Montes, K. S., Kenney, S. R., & Labrie, J. W. (2015). Assessing the Personal Negative Impacts of Hooking Up Experienced by College Students: Gender Differences and Mental Health. The Journal of Sex Research, 53(7), 766–775. doi: 10.1080/00224499.2015.1065951 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5184218/ | Using a multi-site sample of college students, we developed the 14-item Negative Impact of Hookups Inventory (NIHI) to assess negative health outcomes, emotional responses, and social consequences associated with hooking up. | Unprotected sex and having more hookup partners were associated with greater negative experiences of hooking up. No gender differences in the total number of negative hookup effects, although males reported more frequent hookups. In addition, negative impacts of hooking up were positively associated with psychological distress regardless of gender. | Men and women have similar outcomes when it comes to risk behaviors and psychological well- beinga after hooking up, but men do it more. May be due to convergenging expectations around gendered sexual expression and engagement. | College culture normalizes sex; increasingly fewer consequences for women engaging in sex |

Additionally, several studies measured broad constructs of sexual assault that typically include combined forms of college-based sexual victimization (i.e., forcible completed or attempted rape, unwanted sexual contact, and/or sexual coercion). | Hooking up involves being in sexually framed contexts; it is when you know the person that there is an increased risk for coercion and other types of sexual assault. This study highlights how common sexual assautl is on campus. | Sexual assault common on college campus |
| Examining the influence of gender and sexual motivation in college hookups. | Blayney, J. A., Lewis, M. A., Kaysen, D., & Read, J. P. (2018).

However, alcohol use affected hookup behaviours and lower levels of condom use were associated with heavy alcohol use, even with less well known partners. | Drinking- key college culture increased risk taking during hook ups, even when the partners are not as well known |
| Gender and Ethnicity in Dating, Hanging Out, and Hooking Up: Sexual Scripts Among Hispanic and White Young Adults. | Eaton, A. A., Rose, S. M., Interligi, C., Fernandez, K., & Mchugh, M. (2015). Gender and Ethnicity in Dating, Hanging Out, and Hooking Up: Sexual Scripts Among Hispanic and White Young Adults. The Journal of Sex Research, 53(7), 788–804. doi: 10.1080/00224499.2015.1065954 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26445242 | Two samples of heterosexual undergraduates: 224 Hispanic students (49% female) and 316 White students (51% female). | Women put a lower priority on the goal of physical intimacy across all scripts compared to men. Dating was the most prevalent script for all young adults, contradicting contemporary claims that "dating is dead." In terms of ethnicity, a higher proportion of Hispanic than White young adults went on dates, and a higher proportion of White students went on hookups, implying that social and contextual variables are important in understanding young adults' intimate relationships. | Hooking up not first choice among students. White women engaged in hooking up more than Hispanic women |
| Hooking up during the college years: is there a pattern? | Roberson, P. N., Olmstead, S. B., & Fincham, F. D. (2014). Hooking up during the college years: is there a pattern? Culture, Health & Sexuality, 17(5), 576–591. doi: 10.1080/13691058.2014.972458 | https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/13691058.2014.972458 | Undergraduate students (n = 1003) | Rates of hooking up peak between spring semester of the first year of college and autumn semester of the second year of college, followed by a gradual decline in hook up rates over subsequent semesters. Findings indicate that gender is significantly related to hooking up with women reporting fewer hook ups. | Important to consider stage of degree, lower level students and those early in degree more likely to hook up. Newer independence more likely to engage in college culture risky behaviors |

| Predictors of Sexual Hookups: A Theory-Based, Prospective Study of First-Year College Women | Fielder, R. L., Walsh, J. L., Carey, K. B., & Carey, M. P. (2013). Predictors of sexual hookups: a theory-based, prospective study of first-year college women. Archives of sexual behavior, 42(8), 1425–1441. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-013-0106-0 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3779659/ | Participants (N = 483, 67 % White) completed an initial baseline survey that assessed risk and protective factors, and nine monthly follow-up surveys that assessed the number of hookups involving performing oral sex, receiving oral sex, and vaginal sex. | Over the course of the school year, 20 % of women engaged in at least one hookup involving receiving oral sex, 25 % engaged in at least one hookup involving performing oral sex, and 25 % engaged in at least one hookup involving vaginal sex. Risk factors for sexual hookups included hookup intentions, impulsivity, sensation-seeking, pre-college hookups, alcohol use, marijuana use, social comparison orientation, and situational triggers for hookups. Protective factors against sexual hookups included subjective religiosity, self-esteem, religious service attendance, and having married parents. Race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status were not consistent predictors of sexual hookups. | There are different meanings given to what is considered hook up behavior- oral or vaginal sex. College norm behaviors increase risk like substance use. Common personality factors women experience increase risk like social comparison and sensation seeking. But race and SES not predictive of hook ups. |
| Prospective Risk for Incapacitated Rape among Sexual Minority Women: Hookups and Drinking. | Jaffe, A. E., Blayney, J. A., Lewis, M. A., & Kaysen, D. (2019). Prospective Risk for Incapacitated Rape among Sexual Minority Women: Hookups and Drinking. The Journal of Sex Research, 1–12. doi: 10.1080/00224499.2019.1661949 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31556751 | National sample of Sexual Minority Women SMW (N = 1,057), | Overall, findings from this longitudinal study highlight that in combination, heavy drinking and hookups with multiple men elevate risk for rape. Specifically, more frequent heavy drinking was associated with increased risk for subsequent IR, but only among SMW who reported more than one male hookup partner, indicating exposure to more potential perpetrators. | Women who may still be having sex with men but are SMW at greater risk. Need to consider sexual diversity of women in college and if they must hide their sexual orientation. |
| Relationship intentions, race, and gender: Student differences in condom use during hookups involving vaginal sex. | Hall, W. J., Erausquin, J. T., Nichols, T. R., Tanner, A. E., & Brown-Jeffy, S. (2018). Relationship intentions, race, and gender: Student differences in condom use during hookups involving vaginal sex.

Further, White and Female students were less likely to have used condoms during their last vaginal hookup. Unclear about factors driving STI disparities facing Black students despite higher condom use. | Differing experiences for Black women when compared to White women indiciate that there are culturally different experiences with hooking up in college settings. |

In the current sample, significant differences within hook-ups were found by sex for kissing, oral sex, and vaginal intercourse. Differences in ethnicity were also found between our data and that of prior research, suggesting that ethnicity as it relates to hooking-up is an area that needs much further study. | Culture college sexuality depends on type of institution; this was religious institution. Also, definition of hooking up behaviors differs. Added layer of race important to consider |
| Sexual Hookups and Alcohol Consumption Among African American and Caucasian College Students: A Pilot Study | Ross, L. T., Zeigler, S., Kolak, A. M., & Epstein, D. (2014). Sexual Hookups and Alcohol Consumption Among African American and Caucasian College Students: A Pilot Study. The Journal of Psychology, 149(6), 582–600. doi: 10.1080/00223980.2014.946461 | https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00223980.2014.946461 | Students at a midsized southeastern university who identified as Caucasian or African American (N = 227) completed a survey assessing sexual behavior, demographics, and alcohol consumption. | Heavy drinking was associated with ever hooking up, number of hookup partners, hookup frequency, and level of sexual contact during hooking up for Caucasian students, but not for their African American peers. Lower levels of alcohol consumption and hooking up was found among African American students. | College cultural values and behaviors may differ for African American women. Avoidance of alcohol may serve as a buffer from sexual risk in hook ups |
| Some types of hookups may be riskier than others for campus sexual assault. | Flack, W. F., Hansen, B. E., Hopper, A. B., Bryant, L. A., Lang, K. W., Massa, A. A., & Whalen, J. E. (2016). Some types of hookups may be riskier than others for campus sexual assault. Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, 8(4), 413–420. doi: 10.1037/tra0000090 | https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2015-55813-001 | A stratified random sample of female undergraduate students (n = 373) from a single, small campus in the northeastern United States completed measures of demographics, alcohol consumption, hooking up, and sexual victimization in an online survey. | Results revealed high-risk levels of drinking, and a low-to-moderate frequency of hooking up. Overall prevalence of abuse reported by this sample was 44%, with 40% reporting nonconsensual sexual contact, and 33% attempted rape or rape. Follow-up questions to reports of sexual assaults indicated that most (78%) took place during hookups, and that the riskiest hookups were those with acquaintances and previous romantic partners. | College culture includes normalizing drinking, high levels of drinking associated with non consensual sexual contact during hooking up |
| The Longitudinal Relationships Among Injunctive Norms and Hooking Up Attitudes and Behaviors in College Students. | Napper, L. E., Kenney, S. R., & Labrie, J. W. (2014). The Longitudinal Relationships Among Injunctive Norms and Hooking Up Attitudes and Behaviors in College Students. The Journal of Sex Research, 52(5), 499–506. doi: 10.1080/00224499.2014.952809 | https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00224499.2014.952809 | Close friend injunctive/ expected norms were a stronger predictor of student approval of engaging in hooking up for males, as compared to females | Peer group normalizing of hooking up had less of an effect on women than men; may have to do with consequences women face if they hook up. Females were found to be less approving of hooking up than males, there was no significant gender difference in the proportion of students who reported hooking up. | Consider gender differences in college culture values around sexuality- particulalry among women themselves. These sex differences may reflect that females’ hooking up behaviors are influenced more strongly by contextual factors (e.g., pressure from partners or alcohol use) than males, and therefore females’ personal attitudes and close friend perceived norms are less influential for predicting future behavior. |

Mediated Hook-Up: Gratifications and Psychological Attributes as Predictors of Chinese College Students' Hook-up Behaviors.International Journal of Cyber Behavior, Psychology and Learning, 8(3): 17 | https://www.igi-global.com/article/mediated-hook-up/222778 | 350 Chinese university students using MoMo app for hooking up | This study explores the uses and sought gratifications of MoMo—a location-based real-time app, among Chinese college students seeking for hook-ups. The results show that MoMo users were motivated by two gratifications—sexual freedom and online inclusion. Results from regression analysis illustrated that loneliness was a strong predictor of both gratifications. Additionally, loneliness, self-esteem, and to a lesser extent, both gratifications significantly predicted patterns of MoMo usage for hook-up. | In China hook-up apps are flourishing and associated with increased sexual expression among youth; traditionally viewed as sexually suppressive culture. Hooking up differs in meaning and motivation cross culturally |
