POL, SOCIOSEKSUALNA ORIJENTACIJA I OSOBINE LIČNOSTI KAO PREDIKTORI STAVOVA PREMA SEKSU

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study was to examine relations among gender, personality traits, and a behavioral component of sociosexual orientation on the one hand, and four dimensions of attitudes towards sex on the other hand. Participants (N = 266) from the general population of Serbia completed Socio-sexual Orientation Inventory (SOI), the brief Sexual Attitudes Scale (BSAS) and Big Five Plus Two, shorten version (BF+2). Results pointed to a very modest contribution of gender to the prediction of sexual attitudes. Small effects of openness on in-strumentality, extraversion on communion, and neuroticism on permissiveness were noted, and sociosexual orientation pre-dicted all these three dimensions of attitudes towards sex. Re-sults also indicated a significant effect of interaction between neuroticism and gender, as well as a positive valence and gender on instrumental attitude towards sex. The relationship in both cases was positive for males and negative for females.
