Abstract: This study investigated the extent of social resistance to sexual expression by the elderly among a quota sample of 104 young and elderly men and women. A two-version, 22 statement. Likert-type attitudinal questionnaire called the SRSE Attitude Scale was specifically designed to measure social resistance to sexual expression (SRSE). Subjects were divided into eight equal age-sex cells. A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design was employed to test for response differences by age by sex by case. One half of the 104 respondents received the version referring to the case of a 25-year-old newlywed couple, while the other half received the version referring to the case of a 65-year-old newlywed couple. An ANOVA revealed that elderly respondents' scores were significantly higher than young respondents' scores, indicating that these elderly respondents had a higher SRSE.
