Summary

In this study, the Alternate Life Styles Perceptions Scale (ALPS) was developed and administered to a sample of 768 college students representing five regions of the nation. The results indicated that the college students' perceptions toward alternate life styles are more conservative and negative than is often believed. The most favorable perceptions were expressed toward trial marriage, and the least favorable perceptions were expressed toward extramarital sexual relations without the knowledge of one mate. ALPS scores were found to be significantly related to several background factors.
