Analysis

The HIOSD is a tool designed to assess individuals’ sexual desire. It focuses on measuring the intensity and frequency of sexual desire, as well as the emotional and psychological parameters related to the desire for sexual activity. The index provides data for understanding differences in sexual desire among individuals or groups, as well as for evaluating the effects that sexual desire may have on overall well-being.

Objective

The main objective of the HIOSD is to:
Assess the intensity of sexual desire: It measures the intensity and frequency of sexual desire in various situations.
Investigate the factors that influence sexual desire: It examines how factors such as psychological well-being, health, and relationships affect sexual desire.
Support the development of strategies and interventions: It provides data that can be used for developing intervention strategies and support for individuals with problems or concerns related to sexual desire.

Calibration

The calibration of the HIOSD includes:
Categorization of Responses: Participants answer questions related to their sexual desire using agreement scales or other measurement methods.
Total Score: A total score is calculated that reflects the intensity and frequency of sexual desire. Higher scores may indicate higher levels of sexual desire.
Result Analysis: The relationship between sexual desire and other variables—such as psychological state, relationship satisfaction, and overall well-being—is examined.
