Abstract

The evolution in conceptualization of sexual desire has stimulated many attempts to measure it. However measures able to assess multiple expressions of desire in all sexual identities are still lacking. The main aim of the present study was to test the psychometric properties of the Sexual Desire and Erotic Fantasies questionnaire - Part 1 Sexual Desire (SDEF1), developed as a sex-positive measure of different sexual desire expressions. The SDEF1 was assessed in 1773 participants from the Italian general population (1105 women, 645 men, and 23 other genders; ranged between 18–78 years old, mean age 29.31 ± 10.35) on an online survey, together with the Sexual Desire Inventory – 2, the International Index of Erectile Function, the Female Sexual Function Index, and the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale-Short Form. Results support a factorial structure of six dimensions, including 28 items and accounting for 58.11% of the total variance: sexual desire, negative feelings to sexual desire, autoerotic desire, regular partner desire, attractive person desire, and responsive desire. The confirmatory factorial analysis showed satisfactory indexes (RMSEA = 0.042 [90% CI = 0.039–0.045]; GFI = 0.97; NFI = .96; and CFI = 0.97). Regression coefficients ranged from 0.39 to 0.94 and were all statistically significant (p< 0.001). The SDEF1 showed good psychometric properties such as internal reliability, construct, and discriminant validity, and to differentiate women and men with and without sexual difficulties. Men reported significantly higher levels of desire than women in all areas except for desire for a regular partner, were no gender difference was detected. Desire for autoerotic activity was the factor accounting for more variance explained among genders (11.7%). The SDEF1 could be a useful measure to assess different areas of sexual desire and its use could be recommended for clinical and research purposes.

Abstract

The study investigates inclusivity practices and bullying management in a group of teachers. The study involved 18 volunteer teachers from upper secondary school in Italy (12 of them were women). They ranged in age from 33 to 66 years of age (M = 44.53). A semi-structured interview was adopted to explore their knowledge on inclusivity within teaching interventions or programmes, and experiences about bullying management. Data were collected using online interviews through specific platform such as Zoom, Skype, and Google Meet. The interviews were carried out between April 2020 and October 2020 in the participant's native language. Using thematic analysis, we identified themes within individuals' brief narratives. Analysis was inductive and involved line-by-line coding with codes deriving from brief narratives. Four major themes emerged: (1) Contact with the phenomenon of bullying (i.e., direct experience versus lack of experience); (2) Educational-didactic practices (i.e., lack of specific knowledge regarding educational-didactic practices versus attempted solutions); (3) Awareness of the bullying phenomenon and its effects on students; (4) Avoidance solutions of topics concerning bullying incidents (i.e., disengagement and disconfirmation responses). Theoretical and psycho-educational implications are discussed. Highlights: The study suggests some critical issues in teacher training. This study suggests how sometimes bullying is not considered by teachers in a proper way. These findings highlight how teachers should apply critical awareness to their inclusivity practices, starting with a revision of educational curricula, and appropriate training.

32. Tumore al seno e sessualità: uno studio esplorativo sugli aspetti psicologici e affettivi

Abstract

Il tumore al seno è la forma di cancro più frequente e, ancora oggi, nonostante vi sia stato un miglioramento della prognosi, esso rimane la prima causa di morte da tumore nelle donne. L'obiettivo del presente studio è stato quello di valutare la qualità della vita e indagare gli aspetti psicologici, sessuologici ed affettivi in donne affette da carcinoma mammario, ponendole a confronto con un gruppo di con-trollo e identificare le possibili differenze. Il protocollo, composto da strumenti self-report, è stato somministrato a 97 donne suddivise in due gruppi: il gruppo clinico (n = 44 donne con tumore al seno in menopausa iatrogena) e il gruppo di controllo (n = 53 donne in menopausa). Le analisi hanno cercato di indagare quali domini hanno determinato la significatività nel confronto tra i due gruppi. È stato valutato il funzionamento sessuale (FSFI) e il distress (FSDS), il funzionamento psicologico (SCL-90-R) ed emozionale relativo alla sessualità (PANAS). Le donne con cancro al seno in menopausa iatrogena hanno mostrato maggio-ri difficoltà sessuali rispetto alle donne in menopausa naturale. Similmente, sinto-mi come ansia e depressione sono presenti in maniera più o meno sfumata nelle donne in menopausa naturale, mentre acquistano maggior valore in quelle in cui la menopausa è stata indotta precocemente. I dati che emergono dallo studio hanno risvolti notevoli sia per ricerche future che per l'attività clinica, sottolineando come la prospettiva biopsicosociale sia fondamentale per comprendere a pieno il vissuto personale e relazionale connesso alla patologia.

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Italian versions of the 12-item Sexual Distress Scale (SDS) and the 5-item Sexual Distress Scale-Short Form (SDS-SF). A total sample of 2291 adults (1361 women, 930 men) participated through a web survey completing the SDS, the FSFI, the IIEF, the PANAS and the SCL-90-R. The results supported the adequacy of both the SDS and SDS-SF factor structures, good reliability (respectively, α =.96 and.92), discriminant validities and strong associations with satisfaction, fear, depression, and psychoticism. SDS and SDS-SF may facilitate the assessment of sexual distress for both clinical and research purposes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study is a psychometric evaluation of the Sexual Activity Questionnaire, a 20-item tool that is focused on the relational, emotional, and behavioral aspects of sexual activity in the general population. The Italian Federation of Scientific Sexology proposed this tool. The study sample comprises 618 subjects (ages 18–80) from several cities in Italy. The instrument's dimensionality assessment is based on parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis, and the evaluation of items' fit and differential functioning (with respect to the respondents' gender, age, and education) are based on the partial credit model. The statistical analyses reveal the presence of two latent variables, as measured using the Satisfaction and Complicity and Non-Penile–Vaginal Practices subscales. The items have satisfactory fit, and the two subscales' scores have good reliability. The Satisfaction and Complicity subscale is correlated with age and personal well-being but not with gender, relationship length, or the tendency to give socially desirable responses. The Non-Penile–Vaginal Practices subscale is correlated with gender and social desirability. The Sexual Activity Questionnaire shows good psychometric properties and is well-suited for use in clinical and research settings. This study includes discussions of its clinical characteristics, hypothetical applications, and future directions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
