Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study conducted in 1997 on the student sample. The questionnaires were completed by 107 male and female students from the Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb. The focus was on gender differences in attitudes concerning permissiveness and sexual responsibility reported in a similar US study. Our results confirmed the hypothesis of gender differences and pointed out the influence of the number of sexual partners on attitudes concerning permissiveness and sexual responsibility. In conclusion we note some cultural differences in results between the Croatian and US studies.
