One fits all? A person-centred analysis of experiences and practices in consensual non-monogamous relationships
Perceptions of A-Spec Individuals
As sexual minorities, individuals on the asexual spectrum (a-spec) may be at risk of being stigmatized and dehumanized. We examined whether participants endorsed lack of sexual attraction, romantic attraction, and experiences of affection as defining features of a-spec identities (Study 1a, N = 486), and tested whether departures from allonormativity (i.e., experience of sexual attraction; Study 1b, n = 292) and amatonormativity (i.e., desire to …
Is Dark Triad Related to Regulatory Focus on Sexuality
Personality traits play an important role in shaping how individuals approach their sexual goals and regulate their sexual behavior. The present study (819 participants from Colombia) examined the association between different Dark Triad traits (i.e., Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) and sexual regulatory focus, defined as a motivational orientation toward the pursuit of pleasure and rewards in sex (i.e., predominant focus on pleasu…
Longitudinal Associations Between Sexual Regulatory Focus and Sexual Health and Well-Being
Sexual health and well-being (SHWB) encompasses physical and emotional aspects beyond disease absence. Research has shown that sexual decisions and behaviors are informed by predominant motives for pleasure or safety, with some individuals prioritizing health protection and risk avoidance (i.e., predominant focus on prevention) and others sexual pleasure and rewards (i.e., predominant focus on promotion) with casual partners. This longitudinal st…
Let’s talk about condoms’
Existing scales assessing condom negotiation either focus on condom promotion or condom avoidance strategies and fail to offer a more-integrated understanding of the process. To address this, we proposed the Expanded Condom Negotiation Scale (ECNS) by combining items from two existing measures – the Condom Negotiation Scale (CNS) and the Condom Use Resistance Perpetration Survey (CURPS). We then conducted a psychometric study (N = 383; Mage = 31.…
Prolonged Grief and Perceived Mental and Physical Health
Past research showed that bereaved individuals with higher levels of prolonged grief symptoms report poorer health. However, research addressing the downstream consequences of prolonged grief to physical health and its potential underlying mechanisms is still limited. This study explored whether meaning in life explained the associations of prolonged grief symptoms with mental and physical health outcomes. In a cross-sectional study ( N = 332), p…
Are you safe?”
This study examined how Indian dating app users perceive risks in their online interactions and the strategies they employed to mitigate deception, privacy concerns, and protect their sexual health, framed by Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT) assumptions. Semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews (N = 10) were conducted with heterosexual (n = 4) and queer (n = 6) urban Indian dating app users. Interviews explored participants’ risk-related decision-…
How Do People Maintain Consensual Non-Monogamy? An International Development and Validation of the Multiple Relationships Maintenance Scale
Maintaining multiple intimate relationships entails some risks and complications beyond exclusive pair bonding (i.e., monogamy). Consensual non-monogamy (CNM; e.g., polyamory, swinging, or open relationships) allegedly reduces these risks and complications, but no one has tried to comprehensively document typical CNM risk management practices, nor analyzed the relationship outcomes of those who use these practices. We developed the Multiple Relat…
A machine learning approach for analyzing sexual satisfaction based on psychological features
The emergence of machine learning techniques has revolutionized various fields, helping to shed light into the complexities of human sexuality and address sexuality-related problems. The present study aimed to classify sexual satisfaction in both women ( n = 503) and men ( n = 342), who completed a digital survey aimed at Colombian adults based on a snowball sampling. Collected data were analyzed using several supervised learning algorithms where…

University Students' Condom Use During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Humans instinctively adopt methods to reduce their risk of encountering harmful pathogens, yet their adherence to preventive health practices can often be erratic. Condoms exemplify one vital preventive tool against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that, despite their effectiveness, are not consistently utilized. This pattern of behavior appears to persist even during periods of widespread disease transmission, with varied data from the COV…
The Diversity of Singlehood Experiences in the United States and Portugal
Two cross-sectional studies with individuals who are single in the United States and Portugal explored how singlehood expectations and sexual health and well-being motives determined latent profiles, and whether profiles differed in personal beliefs and experiences. Participants with a relationship-oriented pleasure-ambivalent singlehood profile were fearful of singlehood, endorsed more relationship pedestal beliefs, and reported more negative re…
Conformed to Gender Conformity? Gender Nonconformity Stigma is Buffered by Personal Contact
Research has shown that individuals from sexual and gender minorities are more likely to be stigmatized. Taking the perceiver's perspective, we conducted two experimental studies to examine gender nonconformity stigma and the conditions under which such stigma is more (or less) likely to emerge. In both studies, participants were asked to read descriptions of targets varying in gender (non)conformity and assigned sex (Study 1; N = 337) or sexual …
Gay vs. straight? Implications of intergroup perceptions on minority stress and the mental health of lesbian and gay people
A Narrative Review of the Dichotomy Between the Social Views of Non-Monogamy and the Experiences of Consensual Non-Monogamous People
Monogamy is deeply rooted in most Western societies, shaping how people construe and behave in romantic relationships. These normative views facilitate the emergence of negative perceptions and evaluations when people choose not to adhere to mononormativity. Even though people in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships are targets of stigmatization, research shows a dichotomy between these negative views and the relational experiences of CN…
The Role of Perceived Social Support in the Grief Experiences of More Anxious and Self-Compassionate People
Past research showed that high trait anxiety and low self-compassion, along with lack of perceived social support, have been associated with experiencing stronger grief symptoms. However, research is yet to understand if and how these factors interact among grieving individuals. Results of a cross-sectional study ( N = 539) showed that perceived social support interacted differently with trait anxiety and self-compassion to shape grief experience…
A “social cure” for minority stress? Individual and collective identity strategies on the mental health outcomes of lesbian and gay people
Lesbian and gay (LG) people experience minority stressors, resulting in adverse mental health outcomes. To cope, many LG people engage in individualistic or collectivistic strategies, that is, self-distancing or connecting with their in-group, the LGBTQ+ community. Even though research suggests what may help LG people cope with minority stress, it is less clear how and under which conditions they do so. In this study, we examine how LG people emp…
Safety and Pleasure Motives Determine Perceived Risks and Rewards in Casual Sex
People differ in their predispositions to value safety maintenance (i.e., disease prevention regulatory focus) or pleasure pursuit (i.e., pleasure promotion regulatory focus). Extending recent research, results of a cross-sectional study with participants living in Portugal and Spain ( N = 770) showed that these individual differences resulted in a trade-off between potential health risks and pleasure rewards in sexual practices and experiences w…
The stigmatization of prolonged grief disorder and disenfranchised grief
People with prolonged grief disorder (PGD) are at risk of public stigma, but research has yet to examine whether stigma is shaped by different types of relationship losses. In an experimental study, we asked participants ( N = 306) to read three scenarios in which targets lost their romantic partner, child, or companion animal. Targets with PGD ( vs. integrated grief) elicited more negative emotional reactions and attributions, and their experien…
Perceived Social Support Buffers the Consequences of Internalized Negativity Among Individuals in Consensual Non-Monogamous Relationships
Departures from monogamy are socially discouraged and met with negative judgments, and being a target of stigmatization has consequences for the way individuals in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships connect to others, including their partner(s). However, social support seems to be an important factor associated with increases in wellbeing and relationship quality. Aligned with this reasoning, results of a cross-sectional study showed t…
Examining the Role of Mononormative Beliefs, Stigma, and Internalized Consensual Non-Monogamy Negativity for Dehumanization
Belonging to the Ace Spectrum
Introduction Asexuality is typically defined as a lack of sexual attraction, and yet this definition fails to include the multitude of experiences within the ace community. We explored the correlates of different cognitions, feelings, and desires reported by ace individuals. Methods Data for a cross-sectional study with 456 individuals from online ace communities (61.8% women; M age = 24.62, SD = 6.98) were collected in 2019. Results Higher score…
Examining the effects of reciprocal emoji use on interpersonal and communication outcomes
Research has shown that emoji can determine how interlocutors who use emoji are perceived (e.g., warmer) and can help complement written communication (e.g., clarify the meaning of a message). We argue that reciprocal emoji use may be particularly beneficial for user perceptions and communication outcomes. In two experiments ( N = 568), we examined if using emoji, and reciprocating emoji use, in a work context (i.e., message between colleagues) i…
Which Partners Are More Human? Monogamy Matters More than Sexual Orientation for Dehumanization in Three European Countries
Caught in a “Bad Romance”? Reconsidering the Negative Association Between Sociosexuality and Relationship Functioning
Sociosexuality refers to individual differences in interest and willingness to engage in sexual activity without an emotional connection. Unrestricted sociosexuality is associated with a greater likelihood of infidelity and with poorer relationship quality. However, previous research has failed to examine relationship-specific characteristics that may moderate these findings. Two studies of romantically involved adults examined whether relationsh…
Lost in processing? Perceived healthfulness, taste and caloric content of whole and processed organic food
Sexuality, Sexual Behavior, and Relationships of Asexual Individuals
Regulatory Focus and Sexual Health
We examined if motives for security (i.e., prevention focus) or pleasure (i.e., promotion focus) were uniquely associated with intentions to get tested for STIs and behavioral control over condom use, over and above variables already identified in theoretical models. We conducted an online survey with Portuguese adults ( N = 836; M age = 22.27, SD = 5.14). Overall, 99.4% of the participants knew at least one of eight STIs, but only 25.2% got test…
Sociosexuality, Commitment, and Sexual Desire for an Attractive Person
Relationship difficulties and "technoference" during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has touched many aspects of people's lives around the world, including their romantic relationships. While media outlets have reported that the pandemic is difficult for couples, empirical evidence is needed to test these claims and understand why this may be. In two highly powered studies ( N = 3271) using repeated measure and longitudinal approaches, we found that people who experienced COVID-19 related challenges (i.e., l…
What Drives the Dehumanization of Consensual Non-Monogamous Partners
Deliberate choices or strong motives
Organic claims can influence how a product is perceived in dimensions that are unrelated with the food production method (e.g., organic food is perceived as more healthful and less caloric than conventional food). Such claims can also bias how the consumers of organic food are perceived and how other people judge their behavior. Schuldt and Schwarz (2010) have shown that individuals evaluating a target with a weight-loss goal are more lenient in …
Do different sources of sexuality education contribute differently to sexual health and well-being outcomes? Examining sexuality education in Spain and Portugal
Sexuality education (SE) can be acquired through different sources. In a cross-sectional online study with Spanish and Portuguese participants ( N = 595), we examined differences between formal traditional sources (i.e., mandatory SE received in schools), formal modern sources (e.g., SE received in courses), informal traditional sources (e.g., talks with friends and family), and informal modern sources (e.g., pornography and online content) and t…
Regulatory focus and perceived safety with casual partners
Motives for security (i.e. prevention focus) or pleasure (i.e. promotion focus) help regulate risk perceptions. Individuals focused on prevention (vs. promotion) tend to be more aware of health risks, more careful in their sexual behaviours, and less likely to take risks with casual partners. However, feeling safer with casual partners seem to mitigate some of these risks. We administered an online survey in English, Spanish, and German at the on…
Heteronormative Beliefs and Internalized Homonegativity in the Coming Out Process of Portuguese and Turkish Sexual Minority Men
Covid-19 and Sexual Desire
Lifestyle changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had mostly negative consequences for individual, relationship, and sexual functioning. However, some individuals have reported increases in sexual desire and made new additions to their sex lives. Given that stress-provoking situations can sometimes make mortality more salient and heighten sexual desire, it is possible that lifestyle changes and fear of COVID-19 infection may have benefited some r…
Non-monogamy agreements and safer sex behaviors
Attitudes toward condoms and self-control are reliable predictors of consistent condom use. However, safer sex behaviors depend on whether people are single or romantically involved. For the latter, it also depends on whether people are non-consensually non-monogamous (NCNM) or consensually non-monogamous (CNM). A cross-sectional study with 512 Portuguese heterosexual users of the Second Love website (77.0% men; Mage = 37.64, SD = 7.37; 47.8% rom…
Sociosexual Attitudes and Quality of Life in (Non)Monogamous Relationships
Relationship commitment of Portuguese lesbian and gay individuals
Lesbian and gay (LG) individuals strive to form stable relationships, and most of them are successful in doing so. Because successful relationships have benefits for psychological well-being, it is important to investigate factors that help people in same-sex relationships to achieve stable and committed relationships. The Investment Model (IM) proposes commitment to be predicted by satisfaction, quality of alternatives, and relationship investme…

Romantic Jealousy
Whereas sexually dimorphic evolutionary models argue for clear sex differences in responses to jealousy-evoking scenarios, social cognitive models emphasize the importance of other factors. This paper explores variables associated with responses to a commonly-used jealousy-evoking scenario in a population-representative sample. Data from 8,386 Australian men and women aged 16-69 were weighted to match the population. The results provided some sup…

Perceived parent and friend support for romantic relationships in emerging adults
Positive close relationships with immediate close network members are associated with healthy adjustment among emerging adults ( EA ). These influence the initiation and maintenance of romantic relationships. A cross‐sectional study ( N = 630) explored the role of perceived parental and friend support for the current romantic relationship in relationship quality among early EA ( EEA ; 18–21 years) and middle EA ( MEA ; 22–25 years) heterosexuals.…

Solitary and joint online pornography use during the first Covid-19 lockdown in Portugal
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced several people into social isolation and research has shown a paradoxical effect on people’s sexual functioning. Some people experienced decreases in sexual desire and sexual satisfaction, whereas others experienced heightened sexual desire and made new additions to their sexual repertoire, including more online pornography use, during the lockdown. Yet, studies failed to examine its interpersonal and int…
