Brief report: recent findings on the Sexual Aversion Scale.
This study provides additional information on the psychometric properties of the Sexual Aversion Scale (SAS). Results suggest a positive relationship between sexual aversion, generalized anxiety, and history of sexual victimization. Variables such as age and religiosity were unrelated to scores on the SAS, although females reported significantly more sexual anxiety than males. The factor structure of the SAS is described and suggests that sexual aversion is a multifaceted problem with at least three and possibly four different dimensions.
