dating scriptsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Dating scripts are the cognitive models that guide individuals’ dating interactions. In one study, first dates were highly scripted along gender lines. The males followed a proactive dating script, the females a reactive one. The male’s script involved initiating the date, controlling the public domain, and initiating sexual interaction. The females’ script focused on the private domain, participating in the structure of the date established by the male, and responding to his sexual advances. These gender differences give males more power in the initial stage of a dating relationship.
