Sexual self-schemas are cognitive generalizations regarding sexual aspects of the self that represent a core component of one's sexuality. We contend that individual differences in the sexual self-view represent an important cognitive diathesis for predicting sexual difficulty or dysfunction. We illustrate the role of sexual self-schemas on sexual behavior and responsiveness in healthy female and male samples. Next, we describe how diathesis-stress models of psychopathology have been applied to the sexual arena, and discuss the critical features of clinically useful diathesis variables. Drawing from these criteria, we examine the diathetic properties of sexual self-schemas. Finally, we discuss an empirical test of the proposed diathesis-stress interaction, reviewing the role of women's sexual self-views on sexual morbidity following diagnosis and treatment for gynecologic cancer.
性自我图式是关于自我性方面的认知概括,它代表了一个人性取向的核心组成部分。我们认为,性自我认知中的个体差异是预测性困难或性功能障碍的一个重要认知素质。我们阐述了性自我图式在健康女性和男性样本的性行为及反应性方面所起的作用。接下来,我们描述了心理病理学的素质-应激模型如何应用于性领域,并讨论了临床上有用的素质变量的关键特征。基于这些标准,我们考察了性自我图式的素质特性。最后,我们讨论了对所提出的素质-应激相互作用的实证检验,回顾了女性的性自我认知在妇科癌症诊断和治疗后的性发病率方面所起的作用。
