Résumé

OBJECTIVES: To know about sexual attitudes and the differences according to age and sex. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross descriptive study on 670 students of the first and last year from Vigo University (Ourense), who answered a survey about identity variables (age and sex) and the Attitudes towards Sexuality Scale (FISHER, T, 1988b; Adapted and updated by F. López). The data were analyzed with the program SPSS/15. RESULTS: The average age of the student body is 21.38 years old (SD=3.30). 40.5% of the sample exceeds the average age (older), while 59.5% are the average age or younger. 75% are women and 25% men. The mean score at the Attitudes to Sexuality Scale is 82.30 (SD=11.88). We did not find significant differences according to age and sex (p<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Given that the attitudes are determinant factors of behaviour, this results must be taken into consideration in every Program for Affective-Sexual Education within any educative field.
