“…Specifically, the excitation factors Arousability, Setting, and Partner Characteristics and Behaviors showed low to moderate correlations with BAS (Behavioral Activation Scales ;Carver & White, 1994), and moderate correlations with the SOS (Fisher et al, 1988) and SSS (Kalichman & Rompa, 1995). Inhibitory Cognitions, an inhibition factor, was positively correlated with BIS, and negatively correlated with BAS, SOS, and SSS.…”

“…Scores on the SOS were significantly correlated with higher-and lower-order SESII-W factors; specifically, excitation factors were positively correlated (r's between .24 and .53) with SOS and inhibition factors were negatively correlated (r's between -.17 and -.41) . Kalichman & Rompa, 1995) The 11-itemSSS measures propensity to pursue novel or risky sexual stimulation; response choices range from 1 (not at all like me) to 4 (very much like me). Scores on this measure have been positively correlated with sexual excitation proneness in men (Gaither & Selbom, 2003).…”

Validation of the Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women and Men

The purpose of the current investigation was to develop a scale that would assess propensity for sexual arousal in response to a broad range of stimuli and sexual situations in both men and women. In Study 1, data from a nonclinical sample of 481 male and female students (graduate and undergraduate) were submitted to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in order to develop the Sexual Excitation Sexual Inhibition Scale for Women and Men (SESII-W/M), and gender differences on the subscales were tested. In Study 2, construct validity and test-retest reliability of the SESII-W/M were assessed with a second sample of undergraduate students.The resultant measurement tool was comprised of six subscales: Inhibitory Cognitions, Relationship Importance, Arousability, Partner Characteristics and Behaviors, Setting (Unusual or Unconcealed), and Dyadic Elements of the Sexual Interaction. The measure demonstrated good test-retest reliability and discriminant and convergent validity. The SESII-W/M will likely be a useful measure in investigations in which sexual inhibition and sexual excitation must be assessed identically for men and women.

Structural Equation Modeling Test of an Integrated Model of Spanish Youth’s Condom Use

Heterosexual transmission represents 26 % of newly diagnosed infection in Spanish youth. Behavioral change models have emphasized the influence of multiple variables to predict condom use behavior. The aim of this study is to examine how those variables are organized and which theory explains the condom use behavior better. A sample of 424 young heterosexuals (M age = 20.62; SD = 2.16) filled out a battery of self-report questionnaires for assessing AIDS-related variables, personality traits and clinical variables (general, sexuality-related and health-related). A structural model was specified that included perceived pleasure and condom use self-efficacy as predictive variables. Depression and sexual compulsivity indirectly influence behavior. The final model accounted for 65.9 % of the variance in behavior. These results highlight the importance of cognitive and emotional variables as predictors of behavior (ex. expectations of pleasure and self-efficacy beliefs). This is important information for designing effective psychological interventions.Resumen La transmisión heterosexual representa el 26 % de los nuevos diagnósticos de VIH en los jóvenes españoles. Los modelos de cambio de comportamiento han enfatizado la influencia de múltiples variables para predecir el uso del preservativo. El objetivo del presente estudio es examinar cómo se organizan estas variables y qué teoría explica mejor esta conducta. Una muestra de 424 jóvenes heterosexuales (x edad = 20.62; SD = 2.16) completó una batería de cuestionarios sobre Sida, rasgos de personalidad y variables clínicas (generales, sexuales y de salud). Los resultados obtenidos utilizando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales apoyan una relación directa entre uso del preservativo y autoeficacia y placer percibido. Las variables depresión y compulsividad sexual influyen indirectamente sobre la conducta. El modelo explica el 65.9 % de la varianza. Estos resultados destacan la importancia de las variables cognitivas y emocionales como predictoras del comportamiento. Esta información es importante para el diseño de intervenciones psicológicas eficaces.

“…Sexual compulsivity can be understood as a recurrent, insistent, unwanted and intrusive urge to perform sexual acts, which may cause anxiety or distress, 5 while the term 'sexual addiction' -which has variously been used as a synonym for both hypersexuality and sexual compulsivity -brings in the general addiction literature and is typically referred to as any sexual activity or urge that feels out of control.…”
