许多科学研究的重点是评估和理解个体对性快感、享受和满足感的看法。许多现有的快乐和满意度测量提供了有价值的信息，但它们评估事件级质量的能力有限。目的开发一个量表，用于测量性体验的事件级质量，无论年龄、性别、性取向和性行为类型，都可以使用。方法对15名性健康领域的专家进行了关于性质量和快乐性测量的访谈，并为制定事件级量表来测量性体验质量提供了信息。对18-60岁的美国人进行了一项具有全国代表性的横断面概率调查。主要测量结果包括社会人口学条目、性体验质量量表条目、与总体性生活质量相关的事件级别条目(质量条目)、与其他性事件的比较条目(比较条目)和性高潮条目(高潮条目)。
Introduction Much scientific research focuses on assessing and understanding individuals' perceptions of sexual pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction. Many existing measures of pleasure and satisfaction provide valuable information but are limited in their ability to assess event-level quality.AimsTo develop a scale for measuring the event-level quality of a sexual experience that could be used regardless of the age, gender, sexual orientation, and relationship status of the individual and across sexual activity types.MethodsInterviews about the measurement of sexual quality and pleasure were conducted with 15 experts in the field of sexual health and informed the development of an event-level scale to measure the quality of sexual experiences. Scale items were administered to a cross-sectional nationally representative probability survey of Americans ages 18 to 60.Main Outcome MeasuresSocio-demographic items; Quality of Sexual Experience (QSE) scale items; event-level items related to overall sexual quality (Quality item), comparison to other sexual events (Comparison item), and orgasm (Orgasm item).ResultsQSE scores were significantly correlated with responses to the Quality Item (r=0.901, P
