Abstract

URIBE ALVARADO, J. Isaac et al. Self-efficacy perception vs. rejection of condom use in the sexual practices of young women and men. Psicogente [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.37, pp.25-35. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.20.37.2416.

In the sexual relations of the youth, the variables associated with condom use are diverse and are often presented with other variables, that are also associated with unprotected sexual practice. This study aimed to determine to what extent the perception of self-efficacy, low risk perception and condom use shunning are associated with condom use in sexual relations of young Colom bians. 308 university students in the city of Cúcuta, Colombia, participated in the study. The results indicate significant correlations in men between condom use and self-efficacy perception and negative correlations in women between condom use, low risk perception and condom use shunning. Only in the male groups, the perception of self-efficacy predicts condom use.
