Objetivo. 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.
ABSTRACT: Aim. The SESII-W/M is a self-report measure assessing factors that inhibit and enhance sexual arousal in men and women. The specific goal of this study was to adapt and validate it in a sample of Portuguese men and women. Method. A total of 1,723 heterosexual men and women participated through a web survey, ages varying from 18 to 72 years old (M = 36.05, SD = 11.93). Results. 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 has partially supported the 6-30 model, as factor loadings and squared multiple correlations pointed out to problems with items mainly included in those two factors. General fit indices were lower than the ones estimated by Milhausen et al. (2010). Psychometric sensitivity and construct validity were adequate and gender differences were consistent with the original study. Conclusions. The 6-30 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 improve the quality of the measure.
