Resumen

La asertividad sexual se refi ere a la habilidad con la que una persona inicia la actividad sexual, rechaza la actividad sexual no deseada y emplea métodos anticonceptivos, desarrollando comportamientos sexuales saludables. La Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) evalúa estas tres dimensiones. El propósito del presente estudio es evaluar la equivalencia de la escala mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales y funcionamiento diferencial del ítem entre hombres y mujeres. También se proveerá de baremos a la prueba. Un total de 4.034 participantes de 21 provincias españolas participaron en este estudio. Se empleó un muestreo por cuotas. Los resultados indican una equivalencia factorial estricta para la Sexual Assertiveness Scale entre sexos. Un ítem ha mostrado funcionamiento diferencial del ítem, pero éste no parece afectar a la escala, por tanto no existe un sesgo notable en la escala al comparar entre sexos. Los baremos muestran puntuaciones similares entre hombres y mujeres en asertividad-inicio y mayores para las mujeres en asertividad-rechazo, y asertividad-uso de métodos anticonceptivos y prevención de embarazo. La escala puede ser usada en hombres y mujeres con garantías psicométricas sufi cientes.
