Espada Psicología Personality adolescents sexual health consistent condom use unplanned pregnancies Associations between personality traits and sexual risk-taking behaviors have been widely studied in the general population and in university students; however, much less is known about this association in adolescents. A better understanding of the relationship between sexual risk and facets of personality during adolescence is needed to improve sexual education in this population. This study explores the relationship between facets of personality and sexual risk outcomes – knowledge, attitudes, intention, and condom use – in a sample of adolescents by gender. Students (N = 1,458) aged 14-16 years were recruited from five areas of Spain to participate in the study. Multiple linear regressions were computed using SPSS Statistics v22. Results highlighted the weak but significant link between sexual risk and personality facets. Adolescents with higher scores on extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness, but lower scores on emotional stability were more likely to engage in sexual risk behaviors and, consequently, they were more likely to inherit STIs and unplanned pregnancies. In boys, higher sexual risk was associated with greater scores on gregariousness, sociability, warmth, openness, and perfectionism, but lower scores on the confidence characteristic. In girls, higher sexual risk was associated with greater scores on agreeableness and sensitivity, and lower scores on calmness. Personality profiles of sexual risk in adolescents differed by gender, which highlights the importance of gender when tailoring sexual health promotion interventions. 2017 artículo científico 2340-8340 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=477152555005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4771 Revista de Psicología Clínica con Niños y Adolescentes application/pdf Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche Revista de Psicología Clínica con Niños y Adolescentes (España) Num.1 Vol.4 |
