导言以一种称职的方式处理性互动是年轻人的一项关键技能，这与性健康和总体幸福的积极方面有关。文献中已经提出了几个关于性能力的研究概念化，但关于年轻人如何定义性能力以及他们认为性能力低下可能会产生什么后果，人们知之甚少。方法在2019年进行的这项定性研究中，来自德国的571名大学生(365名女性，206名男性)对两个问题提供了开放式的答案：(Q1)你认为什么是性能力？(Q2)性能力低下会有什么后果？结合主题分析和定性内容分析，将答复编码为264个类别，然后将其浓缩为30个潜在主题，其中14个主题涉及第一季度，16个主题涉及第二季度。所有类别都表现出很强的编码者间一致性。结果参与者以多方面的方式定义性能力，并与研究定义部分重叠。性别差异出现在四个主题(需要/愿望、沟通、技能/能力和设定界限/限制)。参与者关于性能力低下的后果的陈述与他们对性能力的定义非常一致。性别差异出现在五个主题(性受害和性侵犯的风险，性交流的问题，有问题的[性]危险行为，对[性]满意度的负面影响，以及缺乏技能)。结论和政策含义讨论了这些发现对性能力的研究概念化，对设计促进性能力的干预措施，以及旨在减少性侵犯的政策措施的影响。
IntroductionHandling sexual interactions in a competent manner is a key skill for young adults, which is linked to positive aspects of sexual and general well-being. Several research conceptualizations of sexual competence have been proposed in the literature, but little is known about how young adults define sexual competence and what consequences they consider low sexual competence may have.MethodsIn this qualitative study conducted in 2019, 571 university students (365 women, 206 men) from Germany with a mean age of 22.6 years provided open-ended answers to two questions: (Q1) What do you consider to be sexual competence? (Q2) What consequences can low sexual competence have? Combining thematic analysis and qualitative content analysis, responses were coded into 264 categories that were then condensed into 30 latent themes, with 14 themes referring to Q1 and 16 themes referring to Q2. All categories showed strong inter-coder agreement.ResultParticipants defined sexual competence in a multi-faceted way and in partial overlap with research definitions. Gender differences emerged in four themes (needs/desires, communication, skills/abilities, and setting boundaries/limits). Participants’ statements about the consequences of low sexual competence corresponded closely with their definitions of sexual competence. Gender differences emerged in five themes (risk of sexual victimization and sexual aggression, problems in sexual communication, problematic [sexual] risk behavior, negative influence on [sexual] satisfaction, and lack of skills).Conclusions and Policy ImplicationsThe implications of the findings for research conceptualizations of sexual competence, for designing interventions to promote sexual competence, and for policy measures designed to reduce sexual aggression are discussed.
