Abstract

Background Sociosexuality explains whether people hold an (un)restricted orientation toward casual sex, and its effects on well-being are inconclusive. This study investigates how specifically the facets of sociosexuality relate to three components of well-being in men and women. Methods: Self-report measures of sociosexuality and well-being were assessed in 556 Polish adults. Results: Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed differences in sociosexual attitudes and desire across gender. Structural equation models showed significant results only for men—emotional and psychological well-being were positively predicted by sociosexual behavior and negatively predicted by desire. Conclusions: Sociosexuality predicted well-being differently across gender.

背景社会性行为解释了人们是否对随意性行为持有（不受）限制的取向，其对幸福感的影响尚无定论。这项研究调查了社会性行为的各个方面与男性和女性幸福感的三个组成部分之间的具体关系。方法：对 556 名波兰成年人的社会性行为和幸福感的自我报告测量进行了评估。结果：多组验证性因素分析揭示了不同性别的社会性态度和欲望的差异。结构方程模型仅对男性显示出显着的结果——社会性行为对情绪和心理健康有正向预测，而欲望则对情绪和心理健康有负向预测。结论：社会性行为对不同性别幸福感的预测不同。
