BARRAGAN-PEREZ, Virginia e FOUILLOUX-MORALES, Claudia. The Centennial and Millennial generations: Attitudes towards sexuality. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.3, pp.94-117. Epub 02-Dez-2021. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.19.3.4609.
The general objective of this study was to identify attitudes towards sexuality held by university students pertaining to the millennial and centennial generations. An attitudes questionnaire was validated as a specific objective. A non-experimental, cross-sectional methodology was followed, involving a descriptive analysis of 402 students’ responses (69.1% women, 30.9% men) with a mean age of 20.8 years (SD 2.07). Favorable attitudes were found towards: homosexual and transexual expressions of sexuality, elimination of gender roles, condom use and rejection of violence in social networks. There were unfavorable attitudes toward love and marriage and a lack of definition towards casual relationships. The authors conclude that knowledge of attitudes is essential for the design and implementation of public health policies aimed at promoting and preserving the sexual health of current generations.
