Participants were 980 students from a mid-size Spanish university, of both sexes (71.3% women, 28.7% men), aged between 18 and 26 years (M = 20.87, SD = 1.88), who completed an online battery of questionnaires. Differences were found in psychological and psychosexual adjustment variables depending on the reference group and both in men and women. Some of these differences were explained by having a partner and others by having sexual relations, regardless of the partner with whom they had sex. These differences and their impact on young people’s psychological adjustment and wellness should be taken into account when designing sexual health prevention and promotion programs. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIU/PGC2018-097086-A-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.2 2023 SOCIAL SCIENCES, INTERDISCIPLINARY 50 / 267 = 0.187 2023 Q1 T1 PSYCHOLOGY, CLINICAL 78 / 180 = 0.433 2023 Q2 T2 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 191 / 408 = 0.468 2023 Q2 T2 0.547 2023 Gender Studies 2023 Q1 Social Psychology 2023 Q2 Reproductive Medicine 2023 Q2 Dermatology 2023 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2023 Q2 3.0 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Correa, Ana Belén (orcid)0000-0001-8467-8270 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
