In addition, sexual permissiveness was significantly, positively correlated with commitment, r=.22, p<.01, such that low sexual permissiveness scores, which suggest greater sexual permissiveness, were related to lower reports of commitment to one’s primary relationship. As such, the positive correlation demonstrates that individuals who have elevated permissive attitudes towards the sexual experiences of others, tend to have lower commitment to their primary relationship.

This may be seen as a controversial finding. What measures did you use to define a person's "sexual permissiveness"? You state people who are sexually permissive have a lower committment to their primary relationship than people who are less sexually permissive. What measures did you use to determine they have a lower committment?
