Instrumentos de Medida de Actitudes hacia la SexualidadUna Revisión Bibliográfica Sistemática

Resum

The approaches to the study of attitudes toward sexuality are characterized by the abundance of publications based on different conceptual frameworks and by a plethora of measurement instruments. The aim of the study was to conduct a systematic literature review to identify and to present an overview of information (measurement objective, the content and the main properties) on instruments measuring the attitudes toward sexuality. A systematic literature search was undertaken in Proquest Psychology Journal and Scopus databases. Fifty five different instruments that met the inclusion criteria were identified in three hundred seventy-two retrieved documents. The instruments were classified in three types. Although the instruments refer to attitudes toward sexuality, not always refer to the same content. This is in line with the broad and slightly delimited definitions of sexuality and with the few explicit definitions of the construct attitudes toward sexuality .
