“…Contudo, nesta amostra os participantes parecem não se deixar afectar por este padrão sexual, aliás como se observa em outros estudos (Marks & Fraley, 2005). Este facto poderá ficar a deverse, não exclusivamente a uma aparente equidade entre homens e mulheres, mas sim a uma maioria de mulheres na amostra.…”

O número de infecções de VIH tem aumentado entre os jovens adultos, em Portugal, como na Europa e Estados Unidos da América. Considerando este facto, este estudo tinha como objectivo caracterizar o uso do preservativo nos jovens adultos Portugueses. As respostas fornecidas por 1138 jovens adultos evidenciam uma utilização inconsistente, principalmente nos indivíduos mais velhos e que têm parceiro estável. Os comportamentos sexuais e uso do preservativo são idênticos entre homens e mulheres, ao contrário de outros estudos desenvolvidos. Apesar de se verificar que os jovens adultos têm uma intenção de uso elevada, o seu comportamento mostra-se discrepante. São necessários mais estudos para compreender a utilização do preservativo de forma a promover a saúde individual e colectiva, no que concerne a infecções sexualmente transmissíveis. De acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (2009), o uso do preservativo de forma consistente e correcta, será um dos meios primários para garantir a saúde individual e colectiva. No entanto, a sua utilização de forma consistente, continua aquém do necessário para prevenir o alastramento de infecções como o VIH. PalavrasOs diversos relatórios e estudos desenvolvidos em Portugal, nos últimos anos, evidenciam uma utilização inconsistente, por parte de toda a população. Parece existir uma prevalência da pílula face ao preservativo, pela sua vertente anti-concepcional que não interfere com o prazer durante a relação sexual. 489Trabalho financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (SFRH / BD / 36259 / 2007).Ambos os autores contribuíram de forma equitativa para a realização deste manuscrito.A correspondência relativa a este artigo deverá ser enviada para:

“…Inclusion criteria were: (a) being 18 or older and (b) heterosexual orientation. The latter criterion was established because, consistently with previous research [22], and as recently defined in Zaikman and Marks (2017) [2] "the sexual double standard (SDS) is the phenomenon whereby heterosexual men and women are evaluated differently regarding sex and sexuality" (p. 407). Also, items from the SDSS contain a greater depiction of traditional heterosexual scripts for both male and female.…”

A version of the Double Standard Scale (SDSS) is presented to assess the subjective perception of society's support for the Sexual Double Standard (SDS). We examine its psychometric properties in a sample of Spanish population heterosexual of 1,206 individuals (50% males), distributed across three groups (18-34, 35-49, and 50 years old or older).We performed Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory. The found version consists of 18 item distributed into three factors (Acceptance for Male Sexual Shyness, Acceptance for Female Sexual Freedom and Acceptance for Traditional Double Standard).A second-order factor structure was also adequate. Internal consistency, temporal stability and validity evidence are reported. This version of the SDSS is reliable and valid. It allows to assess the perception of societal sexual double standard. Its usefulness to improve the predictive validity of the standardized scales that evaluate the individual adhesion to SDS is discussed.

The purpose of this study was to explore demographic characteristics of a specific online population, midlife women recruited through Internet communities (ICs) or groups, and to provide future direction for Internet research among midlife women. Using a feminist perspective, the study focused on ethnic variations in the characteristics of the midlife women. A total of 192 midlife women were recruited through ICs. The Internet survey included questions on sociodemographic characteristics and health/illness status. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicated that midlife women recruited through ICs tended to be Caucasian, young, married, and affluent. The findings also indicated significant ethnic differences in sociodemographic characteristics. The findings suggest that researchers need to consider that midlife women recruited from ICs tend to be a specific group of midlife women. Keywords Internet Communities; Midlife Women; Recruitment; Internet ResearchWith the recent changes in Internet use and dynamics, characteristics of Internet users have changed as well. For example, in terms of ethnic composition, recent studies indicated that Internet usage among Asian-Americans is greater than that of any other ethnic groups, and half of Hispanic Americans and 33% of African Americans are now Internet surfers. 1, 2 In terms of gender, women account for 52% of home Internet users. 2 Many researchers have posited that the Internet is providing a unique forum for marginalized groups including midlife women, to find a voice in the public sphere. 3, 4 Indeed, although the digital divide is still a concern in Internet interactions, the number of women on the Internet has dramatically increased in recent years.With the increasing number of women on the Internet, the number of studies of women on the Internet has increased recently. In the early stages of Internet use, studies reported that women had less experience with computers than men and that they were more likely than men to use computers only at work. 5 The studies also reported that women possessed less self-efficacy toward the computers, and had high levels of computer anxiety. 6 All these factors have been reported to lead to a gender gap in Internet use in the 1990s. 7Recent studies have also reported that women tend to have more negative attitudes toward computers and the Internet. 8 The studies also that women tend to visit websites to better understand issue complexities, 9 and that women tend to be more concerned about privacy and prefer to use the media to build social contacts. 10 In addition, it was reported that women tend to seek support through the Internet while men tend to seek information, 11 and that women tend to be more easily recruited to a study through the Internet compared with men. 11, 12 As
