Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine how sexual self-esteem and appearance anxiety are related to risky sexual behavior. Participants from Illinois State University reported on sexual self-esteem, appearance anxiety, and sexual risk-taking behavior. It is hypothesized that young women who exhibit low sexual self-esteem are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior. It is hypothesized that young women who score high on appearance anxiety are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.
