Analysis

The CBOSBS consists of a series of statements related to the cognitive and behavioral outcomes of sexual behavior. Participants evaluate the degree to which each statement reflects their personal experience or perceptions. The questionnaire may include questions about attitudes toward sexual health, self-esteem, self-perception, and interpersonal relationships. The analysis of responses provides an overall picture of the cognitive and behavioral changes that may result from sexual activity.

Objective

The objective of the CBOSBS is to measure how sexual behavior affects individuals’ cognitive processes and behavior. It is used to understand the positive and negative impacts of sexual activity on mental health and social well-being. The information derived from the scale can be used to develop educational programs and interventions aimed at improving sexual health and psychological well-being.

Calibration

The calibration of the scale is done through a system based on participants’ responses on a Likert scale. Scores are calculated to determine the level of cognitive and behavioral consequences that individuals experience due to their sexual activity. High scores may indicate significant changes in cognitive and behavioral functioning, while low scores may indicate few or no changes.
