MAGRO, Giancarlo et al. Dos modelos medicionales para comprender la importancia de la aceptación incondicional, como reguladora de impulsividad y culpa, en adolescentes que han iniciado actividad sexual coital. Psocial [online]. 2021, vol.7, n.2, pp.94-105. ISSN 2422-619X.

Research on protective factors on adolescence sexuality has been fundamental for the development of public health policy. Unconditional acceptance has not been explored in this context which is peculiar due to its theoretical and practice potential to improve psychotherapy and the understanding of human cognition. The sample for the present study was 1149 teenagers from Huancayo, Perú (Male: 53,4%; Female: 46,6%). The age Interval was between 13 and 18 years and they were studying in high school between third and fifth grade. They were evaluated with three scales: Unconditional Acceptance questionnaire (UAQ) Barratt impulsiveness Scale and feelings of guilt (SC-35). 12% of the sample claimed to had sexual intercourse and solved a sexual safe behaviors scale (SBQ). Results showed a significant difference between the mediation model of unconditional acceptance (in the effects of impulsiveness on the feeling of guilt) in teenagers that have initiated their sexual life (Indirect effect,1012 LLCI=0173 ULCI=2447) and teenagers that haven’t initiated it (Indirect Effect ,0224 LLCI=003 ULCI=061). By exploring the first model, a significant mediational effect of unconditional acceptance has been found in the relation between sexual safe behaviours and impulsiveness (Indirect Effect -,0847 LLCI=-2315 ULCI=-.0061). Additionally. Significant differences of the variables according to genre were found. These results allow us to conclude that unconditional acceptance is important for the prevention of feelings of guilt in teenagers when they have initiated their sexual life. Additionally, is important to explain the negative effect that sexual safe behaviours has on impulsiveness. Unconditional acceptance education is suggested for prevent impulsiveness and feeling of guilt associated to sexual practices.
