Resumo
Com o objetivo de verificar se existe correlação entre as atitudes sexuais, locus de controlo da saúde e ajustamento emocional em jovens adultos, foi constituído uma amostra de conveniência, com 200 participantes com idades entre os 18 e os 25 anos, média de idades de 21 anos e desvio padrão de 2,09. Para medir as caraterísticas psicológicas foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: escala de ansiedade, depressão e stress (EADS-21), escala de atitudes sexuais (EAS) e a escala multidimensional de locus de controlo de saúde.
Os jovens adultos maioritariamente iniciam a atividade sexual antes dos 18 anos, dando maior importância à procura de prazer sexual e formas alternativas de obtenção de prazer físico.
Foram encontradas correlações entre as variáveis psicológicas, tendo-se verificado que as mulheres revelam mais comportamentos de sexo inseguro, enquanto os homens aparecem como mais conservadores e sexualmente mais responsáveis, contrariamente ao referido na literatura.
In order to check whether there is a correlation between sexual attitudes, locus control of health and emotional adjustment in young adults, a convenience sample was constituted with 200 participants aged between 18 and 25 years. This sample has an average age of 21 and a standard deviation of 2.09. To measure the psychological characteristics, were used the following tools: anxiety scale, stress and depression (EADS 21), range of sexual attitudes (EAS) and multidimensional scaling health locus of control. Mostly young adults initiate their sexual activity before 18 years old with a focus in sexual pleasure and alternative ways of getting physical pleasure. Were found correlations between psychological variables, had also been found that women reveal more unsafe sex behaviours, while men’s appear as more conservative and sexually responsible, contrary to mostly ideas in the literature.
