“…Obviously, these instruments do not assess the same construct, but, given that SA and sexual self-esteem are predictor variables (Brassard et al, 2015), their correlation allows us to confirm that our instrument assesses the desired construct. This procedure for analyzing convergent validity has been used in other studies that have created questionnaires to assess SA (Torres-Obregon et al, 2017).…”

“…Sexually assertive people report greater sexual desire, feel more satisfied in their sexual and marital relationships (Carrobles et al, 2011), and have better sexual functioning (Brassard et al, 2015) because they are not only able to communicate their sexual preferences, but they also have the ability to experience sexual pleasure without fear of rejection (Ménard & Offman, 2009). Several studies have also found a positive and significant relationship between sexual self-esteem and SA, indicating that those who have a positive view of their sexual life and are confident about their ability to experience satisfying sexuality are more capable of making decisions in their sexual relationships (Brassard et al, 2015;Torres-Obregon et al, 2017). In addition, sexual self-esteem also appears to contribute to good interpersonal functioning and the development of a healthy sex life (Giordano & Rush, 2010), thus decreasing sexual difficulties and improving sexual satisfaction.…”

Introduction The potential consequences of being assertive or non-assertive for people’s sexual health and sexual well-being highlight the importance of assessing sexual assertiveness (SA). The currently available measures have limitations because they do not take recent social changes into account, they are designed to only assess women, and/or they ignore several components of SA. This study tests the psychometric properties of the Assertiveness in Sexual Relations Questionnaire (ASRQ). Methods Thus, 2370 participants (aged 18–69 years) of Spain completed the ASRQ, along with other scales that assesses related dimensions (e.g., family values in relation to sexual assertiveness, sexual esteem). Data were collected during 2020. Results Exploratory factor analysis yielded a four-factor structure: Assertive behavior as initiative, sub-assertive behavior, overly assertive behavior as initiative, and assertive behavior as a response, which was verified by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A multigroup CFA was also conducted in men and women, confirming the adequacy of this four-factor structure across genders. The reliability of the factors ranged from 0.72 to 0.87. Similarly, correlations with related scales were mostly significant and in the expected direction. Conclusions The psychometric results obtained support the use of the ASRQ as a reliable and valid measure to assess sexual assertiveness in both men and women. Policy Implications The availability of an instrument to assess sexual assertiveness, whose psychometric properties have been satisfactorily tested, benefits society by contributing to the improvement of the sexual health of the population, allowing for more effective interventions and the early detection of skills that contribute to the establishment of risky sexual interactions.

“…Es decir, la creencia sobre la habilidad sexual propia y como pareja sexual, está determinada por la evaluación que realiza la persona sobre su tendencia a excitarse sexualmente ante diferentes situaciones. Asimismo, la excitación sexual relativa a la respuesta sexual forma parte de cada experiencia sexual vivida por la persona, contribuyendo al desarrollo de la AS (Torres-Obregón et al, 2018).…”

“…La AS refleja un carácter positivo con relación al sexo, acompañado de una actitud que excluye sentimientos de culpa sexual, ansiedad sexual y depresión (Snell, Fisher & Schuh, 1992). La AS incluye aspectos del pasado y experiencias actuales relativas al contexto familiar, relaciones con amigos y de la historia sexual, por lo que los factores interpersonales tienen gran relevancia sobre ella (Torres-Obregón et al, 2018). En consecuencia, esta dimensión influye y guía el comportamiento sexual de las personas (Andersen, Cyranowski & Espindle, 1999), repercutiendo de manera importante sobre su salud sexual.…”

Resumen En este estudio se tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre la autoestima sexual (AS) y la excitación sexual como rasgo, estado y componente de la respuesta sexual. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 65 jóvenes heterosexuales que completaron la subescala Excitación Sexual de las Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scales-Short Form, el Massachussets General Hospital Sexual Functioning Questionnaire y la subescala Autoestima sexual del Brief Sexuality Scale. A continuación, realizaron una tarea experimental donde completaron las escalas Valoración de Excitación Sexual y Valoración de Sensaciones Genitales tras visualizar un video neutro y otro con contenido sexual explícito. Los resultados mostraron asociaciones significativas entre la AS y la excitación sexual rasgo y la excitación sexual como componente de la respuesta sexual. Ambas manifestaciones de la excitación sexual explicaron un porcentaje significativo de la AS (R 2 = 0,19). Sin embargo, la excitación sexual estado no se asoció con la AS.Abstract The aim was to analyze the relationship between sexual self-esteem (SSE) and sexual arousal as a trait, as a state and as a component of the sexual response. The sample consisted of 65 heterosexual young people who completed the Sexual Excitation subscale of the Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scales-Short Form, the Massachusetts General Hospital Sexual Functioning Questionnaire, and the Sexual Self-esteem subscale of the Brief Sexuality Scale. Participants performed an experimental task where they completed the Ratings of Sexual Arousal and the Ratings of Genital Sensations after visualizing a neutral film and another one with explicit sexual content. The results showed significant associations between SSE and sexual arousal as a trait and as a component of the sexual response. These two types of excitation explained a significant percentage of the SSE (R 2 = 0.19). However, sexual arousal as a state did not correlate to the SSE.

“…En contraste con el cuestionario de actitudes hacia la igualdad de género (De Sola & Meliá, 2003), se encuentran distintos abordajes teóricos y mejores propiedades psicométricas. La escala con finalidad similar es la de asertividad sexual (Torres-Obregon et al, 2017) quienes proponen un instrumento con análisis confirmatorio con buenas propiedades psicométricas, sin embargo, utilizando un constructo muy distinto. Por último, la escala de creencias de género de Latka et al (2009), elegida por su posible similitud, presenta una baja confiabilidad general y no se conocen sus otras propiedades psicométricas.…”

En México hay 30.6 millones de jóvenes de 15 a 29 años (25.7 % de la población total). El 49.4 % de las mujeres no empleó anticonceptivo o condón en su primera relación sexual. Las conformaciones de género y las formas de socialización se transforman en los mandatos de género. Éstos, como categorías psicosociales, pueden ser entendidos como estereotipos prescriptivos que condicionan los procesos de socialización: nociones que determinan la masculinidad o feminidad desde una postura heteronormativa. Método: Se realizó un diseño no experimental analítico transeccional para obtener las propiedades psicométricas del instrumento mediante el análisis factorial confirmatorio. Con 446 jóvenes con una media de edad de 25.68 años (DE 16.8). Se aplicó la escala de mandatos de género a una muestra que presentara similar cantidad en hombres y mujeres. Se logró obtener una escala de cuatro factores, dos de mandatos clasificados como femeninos y dos masculinos. El instrumento logra un modelo factorial confirmatorio con los elementos psicométricos apropiados. Si bien uno de los factores aparece ligeramente bajo en confiabilidad, la escala resulta idónea para aproximaciones a las sexualidades heteronormativas.
