Abstract(s)
Foi levado a cabo um estudo quantitativo exploratório com vista a explorar as
associações entre as variáveis do conhecimento da anatomia genital feminina, do ciclo
reprodutivo feminino e a adesão ao duplo padrão sexual numa amostra de homens e de
mulheres. Na subamostra de mulheres, procurou-se ainda averiguar a associação entre a
frequência da masturbação e a adesão ao duplo padrão sexual. Foram também estudadas
diferenças de género nestas variáveis bem como os fatores preditores da adesão ao duplo
padrão sexual em homens e mulheres. A amostra incluiu 737 participantes, dos quais 582
reportaram sexo feminino à nascença e 155 sexo masculino à nascença, com média de
idades de 27,85 e de 30,29 anos, respetivamente. Na subamostra de mulheres, o duplo
padrão sexual, cujos fatores preditores significativos foram a idade, a frequência da
prática religiosa e a orientação sexual, apresentou uma correlação negativa e significativa
com o conhecimento da anatomia genital feminina e a frequência da masturbação. Na
subamostra de homens, o duplo padrão sexual, cujo fator preditor significativo foi a
religião, apresentou uma correlação negativa e significativa com o conhecimento da
anatomia genital feminina e do ciclo reprodutivo feminino. A subamostra de mulheres
apresentou um maior conhecimento face à anatomia genital feminina e ciclo reprodutivo
feminino em comparação com a subamostra de homens. A subamostra de homens
apresentou uma maior frequência de masturbação e adesão ao duplo padrão sexual em
comparação com a subamostra das mulheres.
ABSTRACT: The present exploratory quantitative study was carried out in order to explore the correlations between the variables: knowledge of female genital anatomy; knowledge of the female reproductive cycle and adherence to the sexual double standard in a sample of men and women. In the subsample of women, we also sought to study the association between the frequency of masturbation and adherence to the sexual double standard. Gender differences in these variables were also studied as were predictors of adherence to the sexual double standard in both men and women. The sample included 737 participants —582 females at birth and 155 males at birth— with age averages of 27,85 and 30,29 years, respectively. Among the subsample of women, the sexual double standard was found to have significant predictors in age, frequency of religious practice and sexual orientation, and presented a negative and significant correlation with knowledge of female genital anatomy and frequency of masturbation. In the subsample of men, the sexual double standard had as a significant predictor religion, and presented a negative and significant correlation with knowledge of female genital anatomy and the female reproductive cycle. The subsample of women revealed greater knowledge regarding female genital anatomy and the female reproductive cycle compared to the subsample of men. The male subsample also evidenced a higher frequency of masturbation and adherence to the sexual double standard compared to the women's subsample.
