Abstract(s)
As atitudes face à sexualidade são influenciadas pelas construções culturais de género, nomeadamente de feminilidade e masculinidade. Pretende-se validar o Questionário de Atitudes Face à Sexualidade de pessoas com Deficiência Intelectual (DI) numa amostra de adultos portugueses, e comparar as atitudes face à sexualidade de pessoas com DI, em função de variáveis sociodemográficas. Participaram no estudo 426 indivíduos (75.8% mulheres e 23.7% homens), média de idades de 27.81, (DP = 13.19), que responderam a Questionário Sociodemográfico, Questionários de Atitudes Face à Sexualidade da População Geral (QASG-M e H) e de Atitudes Face à Sexualidade de Pessoas com DI mulheres (QASDI-M) e homens (QASDI-H). Realizou-se uma Análise Fatorial Exploratória com extração dos componentes principais e com rotação Varimax. Retiveram-se itens com carga fatorial superior a .40, e utilizou-se o critério do scree plot. Para a QASDI-M produziram-se 2 fatores, respetivamente com a = .93 e variância explicada de 31.75% e a = .66 e variância explicada de 6.14%. Para a QASDI-H produziram-se 2 fatores, respetivamente com a = . 94 e variância explicada de 33.24% para o Fator 1, e a = .72 e variância explicada de 6.22% para o Fator 2. Verificou-se a validade convergente através de correlações positivas o QASG-M e QASDI-M, e QASG-H e QASDI-H. As mulheres revelam atitudes mais positivas do que os homens face à sexualidade de pessoas com DI. Os instrumentos demonstram boas qualidades psicométricas.
Attitudes towards sexuality are influenced by cultural constructions of gender, particularly femininity and masculinity. This study aims to validate the Sexuality Attitudes Questionnaire for people with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) in a sample of Portuguese adults, and to compare the attitudes towards sexuality of people with ID based on sociodemographic variables. The study involved 426 individuals (75.8% women and 23.7% men), with an average age of 27.81 (SD = 13.19), who answered a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, General Population Sexuality Attitude Questionnaires (QASG-M and H), and Sexuality Attitude Questionnaires for women (QASDI-M) and men (QASDI-H) with ID. An Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted using principal component extraction and Varimax rotation. Items with a factor loading greater than .40 were retained, and the scree plot criterion was used. For the QASDI-M, 2 factors were produced, with a = .93 and explained variance of 31.75%, and a = .66 and explained variance of 6.14%. For the QASDI-H, 2 factors were produced, with a = .94 and explained variance of 33.24% for Factor 1, and a = .72 and explained variance of 6.22% for Factor 2. Convergent validity was verified through positive correlations between QASG-M and QASDI-M, and QASG-H and QASDI-H. The women show more positive attitudes than men towards the sexuality of people with ID. The instruments demonstrate good psychometric qualities.
