Self-report instruments concerning personality and subjective responses to sexual orgasm were filled out by 281 female university undergraduates. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the dimensionality of women's subjective responsiveness to orgasm. The results did not support the concept of a unidimensional orgasm process; separate coital and masturbatory factors of orgasmic experience were obtained. Highly internally consistent scales were developed to assess the two factors, and both scales were found to be significantly correlated with indices of extraversion, attitudes toward masturbation, and sexual experience. A path-analytic model was developed which is consistent with the hypothesis that heterosexual and monosexual behaviors act as mediators between extraversion, neuroticism, and attitudes toward masturbation, on the one hand, and subjective coital or masturbatory orgasmic responsiveness, on the other. It appears that attitudes toward masturbation may also have a direct influence on masturbatory responsiveness. Various therapeutic implications of the path model are described. Replications and extensions of the study with older, more experienced populations are necessary.
281名女大学生填写了关于个性和性高潮主观反应的自我报告工具。探索性和验证性因素分析用于评估女性性高潮主观反应的维度。结果不支持单维度性高潮过程的概念；获得了性交和自慰性高潮体验的单独因素。开发了高度内部一致的量表来评估这两个因素，并且发现这两个量表都与外向性指标、对自慰的态度和性经历显著相关。建立了一个路径分析模型，该模型与以下假设一致：异性恋和单性恋行为一方面在外向性、神经质和对自慰的态度之间起中介作用，另一方面在主观性交或自慰性高潮反应之间起中介作用。似乎对自慰的态度也可能对自慰反应有直接影响。描述了路径模型的各种治疗意义。有必要对年龄更大、经验更丰富的人群进行该研究的重复和扩展。
