为了扩大我们对社会背景如何在拉丁美洲共同创造女性性行为的理解，本研究的目的是探索拉丁裔新兴成年女性关于性自信的信念、观点和想法。居住在厄瓜多尔昆卡的17名年龄在22岁至30岁之间的妇女参加了焦点小组。采用建构主义的扎根理论方法对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，新兴成年女性对性自信的总体看法可以归结为五类：(1)性别角色图式；(2)对伴侣的想法和反应的担忧；(3)对使用特定避孕方法的性别态度；(4)将性史作为一项具有挑战性的任务来谈论；(5)复制家庭模式。这项研究的发现是在现有的文献中讨论的，这些文献突出了性别角色图式对性自信的影响。最后，呼吁进行更具文化敏感性的研究，并提到了一些教育意义--加强性教育计划的必要性--以及临床--强调从一段关系开始就表现出性自信的能力。
In an attempt to extend our understanding of how social contexts co-create female sexuality in Latin America, the aim of the current study was to explore the beliefs, views, and ideas about sexual assertiveness in Latino emerging adult women. Seventeen women between 22 and 30 years old living in Cuenca, Ecuador, participated in focus groups. A constructivist grounded theory approach was used to analyze the data. Findings suggest that the overall views about sexual assertiveness in emerging adult women can be grouped into five categories: (1) gender role schemata; (2) concerns about the partner's thoughts and reactions; (3) gendered attitudes towards the use of specific methods of contraception; (4) talking about sexual histories as a challenging task; and (5) replication of family patterns. The findings of this study are discussed within existing literature that highlights the influence of gender role schemata on sexual assertiveness. Finally, a plea for more culturally sensitive research is formulated as well as some educational - the need to reinforce sex education programs - and clinical - highlighting the ability to be sexually assertive from the start of a relationship - implications are mentioned.
