The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of anger regulation cognitive behavior therapy on sexual cognitive distortions and rape proclivity on sexual offenders.

The participants were sexual offenders who are currently imprisoned. The 37 participants were randomly assigned to either treatment group (n=18) or control group (n=19). The treatment group was administered 5 sessions (120-minute each). The program included how to recognize anger and practiced effective strategies to deal with it. All participants completed questionnaires at baseline and post-treatment.

No significant pre-post differences in anger, sexual cognitive distortions and rape proclivity were found between treatment group and control group.

The findings suggest that anger regulation program is not enough to make significant differences in anger, sexual cognitive distortions and rape proclivity. However this study shows the potential possibilities of combination of anger regulation treatment and current CBT programs that would make current correcting programs for sex offenders more effective. Limitations and suggestions for further studies were proposed at the end.

Repeated strong contraction and relaxation of muscles during exercise can cause tension in the muscle tendon unit. The physical stress caused by tension on muscle tissue is closely linked to pain. This study evaluated sex differences in pain after stretching of hamstring muscles and the decrease in pain over time.

Hamstring flexibility was measured with an active knee extension test before and after stretching. Pain was measured using the visual analogue scale immediately after stretching, on day 1, and day 2.

Pain reported by men was higher than that reported by women, but the difference was not significant. The pain reported by both men and women was significantly decreased on day 1, with a smaller decrease on day 2. There was no correlation between the increase in flexibility and pain.

Pain did not differ between men and women. Additionally, pain was not simply determined by intensity of stretching. Individual characteristics and other factors must also be considered.

This study was conducted to investigate the factors that influence sexual intercourse experience of university students in Korea.

We selected 244 students who completed a questionnaire about general characteristics, sexual attitude, sexual intercourse experience, depression. It was analyzed by logistic regression using sexual attitude of university student, father, and mother as explanatory variables.

The results showed that sexual intercourse experience was more frequent in the respondents who were more open about sexual attitude, those whose mothers have more open mind to sexual attitude, and those who were less depressed.

The sexual intercourse experience is important to affect the upcoming adult period in university students. This study suggests that it is necessary to develop systematically the sexual education program in university and society.
