The study was a quantitative, cross-sectional study involving 220 participants aged 18–29, 53.6% female. Data was collected with an online questionnaire consisting of items assessing background, attitudes towards hookups, hookup experiences, alcohol use and an adapted, translated version of the Hookup Motives Questionnaire (HMQ). The HMQ is a standardized questionnaire assessing five motivational categories related to hookup participation: enhancement, coping, conformity, social-sexual, and relationship motives. Results showed that 65.9% of participants had engaged in hookups at some point in their lives, and most participants considered hookups a normal part of Icelandic culture. Enhancement was the main motivator among those who had participated in a hookup. Alcohol was strongly associated with hookups, with 95.2% of participants who had engaged in a hookup reporting alcohol use in at least one experience, and 61.4% stated that alcohol was present during their last hookup. This study contributes to the limited research on hookup culture in Iceland and has potential practical value for sex education and further research. Keywords: Hookup culture, Motivations, Alcohol, Young Adults, Iceland Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að skoða þá þætti sem liggja að baki “hookup” menningar meðal ungs fólks á Íslandi. Rannsóknin var megindleg þversniðsrannsókn með 220 þátttakendum á aldrinum 18–29 ára, 53,6% konur. Notast var við rafrænan spurningalista sem innihélt spurningar um bakgrunn, viðhorf til “hookups”, reynslu af “hookup”, áfengisnotkun og aðlagaða, þýdda útgáfu af Hookup Motives Questionnaire (HMQ). HMQ er staðlaður spurningalisti sem metur fimm hvata flokka sem leiða til þátttöku í “hookup”. Niðurstöður sýndu að 65,9% þátttakenda höfðu einhvern tímann á ævinni tekið þátt í “hookup” og flestir þátttakendur töldu “hookup” vera eðlilegur hluti af Íslenskri menningu. Ánægja var helsti hvatinn meðal þeirra sem höfðu tekið þátt í “hookup”. Áfengi tengdist “hookup” sérstaklega, þar sem 95,2% þátttakenda sem höfðu tekið þátt í “hookup”, sögðu að áfengi hafi verið til staðar í allavega eitt skipti. Einnig sögðu 61,4% að áfengi hafi verið til staðar við síðasta “hookup”. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar bæta við þá takmörkuðu þekkingu á þessu sviði á Íslandi og hefur mögulega hagnýt gildi kynfræðslu og frekari rannsóknir.
