The Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) reliably measures women's assertiveness in sexual situations, including initiation, refusal, and prevention. Findings highlight key predictors and correlates of sexual assertiveness in women.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Sexual assertiveness is crucial for women's sexual health and relationship dynamics.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of women's sexual assertiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) for women.
  • To identify factors influencing sexual assertiveness in women.

Main Methods:

  • Four studies involving 1,613 women from university and community samples.
  • Confirmatory factor analyses and structural modeling were employed.
  • Test-retest reliability was assessed over 6 months and 1 year.

Main Results:

  • The SAS demonstrated stable factor structures across diverse samples.

  • Sexual experience, anticipated negative partner response, and self-efficacy predicted sexual assertiveness.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Sexual Assertiveness Scale (SAS) is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing women's sexual assertiveness.
    • Understanding predictors of sexual assertiveness can inform interventions to improve women's sexual health.
    • The SAS can be used to further research on sexual assertiveness and its impact on relationships.
