Psychosexual health is a fundamental component of adolescent well-being. However, research has predominantly focused on risk factors, overlooking the potential benefits of positive psychological traits. This study aimed to investigate the associations between positive psychological capital and adolescents' psychosexual health and examine whether these relationships are moderated by autonomy and gender.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted between December 2023 and April 2024 in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China. Using convenience sampling, 8,205 students were recruited from 10 junior and senior high schools representing both urban and rural regions. Participants completed the Chinese versions of the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Autonomy Questionnaire, and Adolescent Psychosexual Health Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.0 and PROCESS v3.5.
After data cleaning based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 7,910 valid responses were retained, yielding a validity rate of 96.40%. The final sample had a mean age of 13.99 years (SD = 1.13), with 50.1% male and 49.9% female participants. Positive psychological capital was significantly and positively associated with psychosexual health: hope (r = 0.530, p < 0.001), optimism (r = 0.505,p < 0.001), self-efficacy (r = 0.467 p < 0.001), and resilience (r = 0.449, p < 0.001). Autonomy significantly moderated the following associations: hope (β = 0.040; p < 0.001), self-efficacy (β = 0.086; p < 0.001), resilience (β = 0.086,p < 0.001), and optimism (β = 0.091; p < 0.001). Gender did not show a significant moderating effect.
Positive psychological capital play a vital role in enhancing adolescents' psychosexual health. Autonomy amplifies these beneficial effects and should be prioritized in future interventions aimed at promoting adolescent mental and sexual well-being.
性心理健康是青少年幸福的一个基本组成部分。然而，研究主要集中在风险因素上，忽视了积极心理特质的潜在益处。本研究旨在调查积极心理资本与青少年性心理健康之间的关联，并检验这些关系是否受到自主性和性别的调节。
于2023年12月至2024年4月在中国贵州省遵义市进行了一项横断面调查。采用便利抽样法，从代表城乡地区的10所初中和高中招募了8205名学生。参与者完成了中文版的积极心理资本问卷、自主性问卷和青少年性心理健康问卷。使用SPSS 26.0版和PROCESS v3.5对数据进行分析。
根据预定义的纳入和排除标准进行数据清理后，保留了7910份有效回复，有效率为96.40%。最终样本的平均年龄为13.99岁（标准差=1.13），男性参与者占50.1%，女性参与者占49.9%。积极心理资本与性心理健康显著正相关：希望（r=0.530，p<0.001）、乐观（r=0.505，p<0.001）、自我效能感（r=0.467，p<0.001）和心理韧性（r=0.449，p<0.001）。自主性显著调节了以下关联：希望（β=0.040；p<0.001）、自我效能感（β=0.086；p<0.001）、心理韧性（β=0.086，p<0.001）和乐观（β=0.091；p<0.001）。性别未显示出显著的调节作用。
积极心理资本在增强青少年性心理健康方面起着至关重要的作用。自主性放大了这些有益影响，在未来旨在促进青少年心理和性健康的干预措施中应优先考虑。
