[摘要] English: Article one: Since sexual mate swinging came about in the fifties, a lot of research has been done on the subject. This research, however, seem to have come to an end in the eighties. This means that there is no current data on the matter, and the current state of affairs is also unknown. The goal of this study, namely to investigate the attitudes of married couples towards sexual mate swinging, has been reached by handing out questionnaires to residents of Bloemfontein. A total of 500 useable questionnaires were received back. The questionnaire consisted of an attitude scale as well as a biographical questionnaire. The influence of various variables, namely gender, age, church attendance and language on the attitudes of respondents towards sexual mate swinging was investigated. A factorial analysis of variance was used, as were several one-way analyses of variance. The results have shown that gender, church attendance and language had a significant influence on sexual mate swinging, while age was the only variable which had no significant influence.Article two: Research conducted in the past have shown different results concerning the effect of sexual mate swinging on marriage. Some findings yielded positive effects, while others have shown negative effects. With the high incidence of unhappy marriages, as well as the high divorce rate in South Africa, it is of utmost importance to study the factors that may have a positive or negative effect on marriage. The goal of this study was to determine what the effect of level of training, involvement with mate swinging, level of marital satisfaction as well as language is on the attitudes of married couples towards sexual mate swinging. For this purpose, 125 Afrikaans and 125 English married couples took part in the study (N=500). The questionnaire consisted of an attitude scale as well as a biographical questionnaire. A factorial analysis of variance was applied, as well as several one-way analyses of variance. It was found that involvement with mate swinging, level of marital satisfaction as well as language had a significant influence on attitudes towards sexual mate swinging, while level of training had no effect.
