Abstract

Research on personality and sexuality has increased over the last few decades, especially using basic trait models—Five Factor Model and HEXACO—and clinical personality constructs—particularly borderline, narcissism, and psychopathy. Spanning five broad aspects of sexuality, research shows that basic and clinical personality traits are associated with sexual motivation, sexual behavior, sexual affect and cognition, sexual orientation, and clinical sexual problems. Different personality trait dimensions are reliably associated with specific aspects of sexuality, which points to theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, personality characteristics can be used to help explain, at least in part, variation in sexuality. Practically, links between sexuality and personality can help inform assessment and tailor intervention to promote general and sexual health.

个性与性

在过去的几十年里，对人格和性的研究有所增加，特别是使用基本的特征模型——五因素模型和hexaco——和临床人格结构——特别是边缘型、自恋型和精神病。研究表明，基本人格特征和临床人格特征与性动机、性行为、性情感和性认知、性取向和临床性问题有关。不同的人格特质维度与性的特定方面有可靠的联系，这指出了理论和实践意义。从理论上讲，人格特征可以用来帮助解释，至少部分解释性取向的变化。实际上，性与个性之间的联系有助于为评估提供信息，并为促进一般健康和性健康量身定制干预措施。
