- Body awareness and bodily dissociation among those with and without sexual difficulties: Differentiation using the scale of body connectionPublication . Carvalheira, Ana Alexandra; Price, Cynthia; Neves, Cide Filipe Branco de CamposThe goal of this study was to explore potential body awareness and bodily dissociation differences between men and women with and without sexual difficulties, using the Scale of Body Connection in a sample of 909 participants. In women, bodily dissociation scores were significantly higher across all reported sexual difficulties, except in sexual pain. Women with lack of sexual interest and sexual arousal had significantly lower body awareness when compared to women without these difficulties. These findings suggest the importance of targeting body awareness and bodily dissociation in the treatment of women's sexual difficulties.
- Contributos para a adaptação e validação do inventário de excitação sexual e inibição sexual (sesii-w/m) em mulheres e homens portugueses.Publication . Neves, Cide Filipe Branco de Campos; Carvalheira, Ana AlexandraObjetivo. O SESII-W/M é uma medida de autorresposta que avalia fatores suscetíveis de inibir ou aumentar a excitação sexual em homens e mulheres. O objetivo específico deste estudo foi o de adaptar a medida e validá-la numa amostra de homens e mulheres portugueses. Método. Um total de 1.723 homens e mulheres heterossexuais, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 72 anos (M = 36.05, DP = 11.93), participaram através de um web survey. Resultados. Os níveis de consistência interna foram considerados satisfatórios nos quatro primeiros fatores do SESII-W/M, mas não em Local e Elementos Diádicos da Interação Sexual. A análise fatorial confirmatória apoiou parcialmente o modelo 6-30, com os pesos fatoriais e os valores de variância explicada a sinalizarem problemas com itens maioritariamente incluídos naqueles dois fatores. Os índices gerais de ajustamento do modelo apresentaram valores mais baixos do que os estimados por Milhausen et al. (2010). A sensibilidade psicométrica e a validade de construto foram consideradas adequadas e as diferenças de género mostraram-se consistentes com o estudo original. Conclusões. O modelo 6-30 foi mantido, mas foram recomendadas alterações nos fatores Local e Elementos Diádicos da Interação Sexual, bem como nos itens correspondentes, a fim de melhorar a qualidade da medida.
- Sexual excitation/sexual inhibition inventory (SESII-W/M) : Adaptation and validation within a portuguese sample of men and womenPublication . Neves, Cide Filipe Branco de Campos; Milhausen, Robin R.; Carvalheira, Ana AlexandraThe SESII-W/M is a self-report measure assessing factors that inhibit and enhance sexual arousal in men and women. The goal of this study was to adapt and validate it in a sample of Portuguese men and women. A total of 1,723 heterosexual men and women participated through a web survey, with ages ranging from 18 to 72 years old (M = 36.05, SD = 11.93). The levels of internal consistency were considered satisfactory in the first four factors, but not in Setting and Dyadic Elements of the Sexual Interaction. Confirmatory factor analysis partially supported the six-factor, 30-item model, as factor loadings and squared multiple correlations pointed to problems with items mainly loading on those two factors. General fit indices were lower than the ones estimated by Milhausen, Graham, Sanders, Yarber, and Maitland (2010). Psychometric sensitivity and construct validity were adequate and gender differences were consistent with the original study. The six-factor, 30-item model was retained, but changes to the factors Setting and Dyadic Elements of the Sexual Interaction, and their corresponding items, were recommended in order to strengthen the measure.
