This mixed methods study investigated how single emerging adult Evangelical Christian women manage their sexuality with potentially competing religious and secular cultural influences, and assessed how sexuality was related to psychological well-being. The researcher utilized qualitative interviews with 24 undergraduate women about the messages they received regarding their sexuality from their faith community and secular culture, and their experiences with their own sexuality amid this dissonance. Using Strauss and Corbin's (1998) grounded theory data analysis, themes emerged from the data to reveal a theory that captures how these women integrate and manage their sexuality among conflicting cultural influences. It was found that this process begins with the Causal Conditions for one's sexual development, which influence the Internalized Experience of sexuality, including Sexual Scripts and Sexual Phenomenology, and lead to the subsequent Outcomes: Action, Emotional Appraisal, and Reaction. Additionally, two hundred and four single Christian female students were administered a questionnaire that measured how sexual identity development and sexual subjectivity were related to sexual health and psychological well-being for Christian women who have and have not engaged in sexual activity. Results indicated that the theistic sanctification of sexuality was positively related to psychological well-being through sexual subjectivity, whereas nontheistic sanctification was positively related to psychological well-being through sexual-spiritual integration. One measure of sexual subjectivity (i.e., Sexual Body Esteem) moderated the relationship between sexual behavior escalation and sexual identity exploration. No relationship was found between sexual experience and psychological well-being. No significant moderators were found between sexual experience and sexual-spiritual integration. Post hoc analyses further investigated how sexual experience related to the other variables; however, due to measurement issues, it is not recommended that the quantitative results be interpreted at this time. Overall, the results of this study expand the current body of literature regarding sexuality for single, Evangelical women, specifically regarding the conflicts they experience between sexual behavior and spirituality.
