This research paper investigates the complex dynamics between casual sexual
relationships, relationship attitudes, and commitment levels in a sample of 219 individuals
aged 18 to 29. By utilizing an extensive range of statistical analyses, including
regression, correlation, and moderation analysis, the key findings suggest a significant
negative association between engagement in casual sexual relationships and levels of
commitment among young adults. Secondly, significant correlations are identified
between certain relationship attitudes and commitment levels among young adults.
Thirdly, it is discovered that young adults’ relationship attitudes do not moderate the
association between their experiences in casual sexual relationships and subsequent
commitment levels. The study has also taken influence of social desirability into account,
adding valuable insights to the existing knowledge about the nature of relationships
among today’s youth and lays a solid foundation for future research
