摘要：
The current study explored cultural differences in romantic and sexual attitudes and experiences as well as their associations with mental health and well-being among young adults in India and the United States of America. We recruited a sample of 883 unmarried young adults from both countries (n USA = 459; n India = 424). The results revealed that American participants endorsed liberal sexual attitudes and reported more involvement in sexual activities. Indian participants showed more pro-romantic attitudes and reported more mental health problems. The cultural effects on sexual and romantic attitudes were stronger for women. Most of the associations between romantic and sexual attitudes and experiences differed across cultural groups. Implications for future cross-cultural research on the sexual and romantic experiences of young adults are discussed.
