Study participants were undergraduates from three universities taking part of a greater alcohol intervention study. Out of 2,139 students, the final sample of 607 participants were chosen by only selecting students who’ve hooked up in the last three months and had to be of the age 18 to 26 years old. After selected the students, and answering yes to hooking up in the last three months, they were given 17 questions in regards to their negative impacts after the hookups. The questions were based on qualitative and quantitative research on the negative emotion, social, and health impacts of hooking up (Napper et al, 2015 pg. 5).

For the most part, teens don’t recognize the overall issues that the hookup culture endorses. This is important to recognize what the hookup culture is believed to be compared to what it actually is. Fun, freeing, and liberating are often what first year students new to the hookup culture would say and believe it to be (Wade 55). Yet contrary to their beliefs, the hookup culture brings with it consequences such as rape, loneliness, depression, and peer
