本研究探讨了心理特质因素在性欲和性行为中的作用。特别是，它调查了这些因素如何有助于保持动机方面和自我控制能力之间的平衡，因为两者都被认为是与适应性性行为有关的重要因素。此外，该研究还探讨了性欲、活动和满意度之间的关系。参与者完成了评估性欲（双人，单独）、性活动（与伴侣，单独）、性满意度、接近和回避动机、依恋、自我控制、感觉寻求和正念的问卷调查。基于参与者的性欲和性活动水平的聚类分析强调了与不同类型的心理功能相关的每种性别的三个不同特征：(a)高二元性欲望和高二元性活动的被试性满意度最高，心理功能最佳，且在追求积极奖励的动机倾向和自我控制能力（高接近动机、安全依恋、高自我控制、高正念）之间达到平衡；(b)具有高双性和孤性欲望和活动的参与者得到了适度的满足，并表现出一种以冲动性为主要特征的心理功能（女性获得奖励的动机过高，男性自我控制能力较低）；(c)低二元性欲望和性活动的参与者性满意度最低，其特征是高动机以避免负面后果和低自我控制（高回避动机，不安全依恋和低正念）。这些结果进一步阐明了基本的心理因素是如何解释性欲、性活动和性满足的个体差异的。
This study explored the role of psychological trait factors in sexual desire and sexual activity. In particular, it investigated how these factors may contribute to maintaining a balance between motivational aspects and self-control abilities, as both have been considered important in relation to adaptive sexuality. Moreover, the study explored the relationship between sexual desire, activity, and satisfaction. Participants completed questionnaires assessing sexual desire (dyadic, solitary), sexual activity (with a partner, alone), sexual satisfaction, approach and avoidance motivation, attachment, self-control, sensation seeking, and mindfulness. Cluster analyses, based on participants' level of sexual desire and sexual activity, highlighted three distinct profiles for each gender related to different types of psychological functioning: (a) participants with high dyadic sexual desire and activity were the most sexually satisfied, showed optimal psychological functioning, and were characterized by a balance between motivational tendencies to seek positive rewards and self-control abilities (high approach motivation, secure attachment, high self-control, high mindfulness); (b) participants with high dyadic and solitary sexual desire and activity were moderately satisfied and showed a type of psychological functioning predominantly characterized by impulsivity (an overly high motivation to obtain rewards in women, and low self-control in men); (c) participants with low dyadic sexual desire and activity were the least sexually satisfied and were characterized by high motivation to avoid negative consequences and low self-control (high avoidance motivation, insecure attachment, and poor mindfulness). These results shed further light on how fundamental psychological factors contribute to explain the individual variability in sexual desire, activity, and satisfaction.
