Abstract
SUMMARY: The authors describe a 69 item sexual knowledge questionnaire that covers the areas: physiology, pregnancy, the sex act, masturbation, contraception, types of sexuality, and venereal disease. There is also a ‘Belief in Myths’ scale. Mean scores for delinquent boys and young mentally handicapped adults are given, with the latter having lower scores. All areas correlate with total score. The handicapped group showed increased sexual knowledge when re‐tested after a human relations course. A control group, tested after the same interval, showed only random changes. Further research is suggested.
