The objective of the present study was to examine the differences in some variables of psychological (depression, anxiety, physical self-esteem) and psychosexual (self-esteem as a sexual partner, satisfaction with sexual life, sexual preoccupation) adjustment in a sample of university students, as a function of gender, and divided into three groups: (1) those who had a stable partner; (2) those who did not have a stable partner but did have casual sexual relations; and (3) those who had neither a stable partner nor casual relationships. Participants were 980 students from a mid-size Spanish university, of both sexes (71.3% women, 28.7% men), aged between 18 and 26 years ( = 20.87, = 1.88), who completed an online battery of questionnaires. Differences were found in psychological and psychosexual adjustment variables depending on the reference group and both in men and women. Some of these differences were explained by having a partner and others by having sexual relations, regardless of the partner with whom they had sex. These differences and their impact on young people's psychological adjustment and wellness should be taken into account when designing sexual health prevention and promotion programs.
本研究的目的是，在一组大学生样本中，考察心理（抑郁、焦虑、身体自尊）和性心理（作为性伴侣的自尊、对性生活的满意度、性关注）调适的一些变量差异，这些差异作为性别的一个函数，并分为三组：（1）有稳定伴侣的学生；（2）没有稳定伴侣但有随意性关系的学生；（3）既没有稳定伴侣也没有随意性关系的学生。参与者是来自一所中等规模西班牙大学的980名学生，男女皆有（女性占71.3%，男性占28.7%），年龄在18至26岁之间（平均年龄 = 20.87岁，标准差 = 1.88岁），他们完成了一组在线问卷。根据参照组的不同，在心理和性心理调适变量方面发现了差异，男性和女性均如此。其中一些差异可由有伴侣来解释，另一些差异则可由有性关系来解释，无论他们与谁发生性关系。在设计性健康预防和促进项目时，应考虑这些差异及其对年轻人心理调适和健康的影响。
