Description

The Sexual Awareness Scale (SAS) is an assessment tool that measures individuals’ awareness and understanding of their sexuality. Its purpose is to identify and analyze the beliefs, attitudes, and self-knowledge related to their sexual life.

Objective

The main objective of the Sexual Awareness Scale is to evaluate individuals’ awareness of their sexual life and its impact on their well-being. More specifically, the scale aims to:
Measure self-knowledge regarding sexuality: Understand how well individuals comprehend their sexual life and desires.
Assess beliefs and attitudes: Examine individuals’ beliefs and attitudes about sexuality and how these influence their behavior.
Examine the relationship with psychological well-being: Analyze how sexual awareness is connected to psychological health and overall well-being.
Study the impact of sexual knowledge on relationships: Investigate how knowledge and understanding of sexuality affect interpersonal relationships and relationship quality.

Analysis

The analysis of data from the Sexual Awareness Scale involves evaluating participants’ responses to questions concerning their self-knowledge and beliefs about sexuality. Participants are asked to indicate the degree to which they agree or disagree with statements about their sexual life, their beliefs, and their understanding of sexuality. Data analysis helps to understand the relationship between sexual awareness and other psychological parameters, such as mental health and relationship satisfaction.

Scoring

Scoring of the Sexual Awareness Scale is usually conducted using a Likert scale, where participants rate their level of agreement with various statements about their sexual life and self-knowledge. Responses are converted into numerical values that are used to calculate overall indices of sexual awareness. This process allows for comparison of sexual awareness between different individuals and groups and for analyzing its effect on overall well-being and relationships.
