Madeleine is in the final year of the BA program in Psychology and is completing her honours project. The primary purpose of her honours research is to explore the sexual experiences of Canadian undergraduate students who have chosen to remain sexually abstinent, whatever their personal definition of abstinence may be. Taking a qualitative approach, she hope to provide an in-depth perspective on the various factors, such as personal experience and both peer and sociocultural norms and values, which contribute to and inform personal decisions. Using sexual script theory, the premise that sexual behavior is socially constructed, will aid in discerning how participants conceptualize their personal experiences and behaviors.
