Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación existente entre la disposición al riesgo en las relaciones sexuales en personas adolescentes y variables afectivo-emocionales tales como el apego a la madre, al padre, a los iguales, los estilos de apego y las dificultades de regulación emocional. Han participado 1911 adolescentes escolarizados, de ambos sexos, entre 15 y 20 años. Los resultados indican que la seguridad del apego se relaciona inversamente con la disposición al riesgo en las relaciones sexuales, mientras que las dificultades de regulación muestran una asociación positiva, con diferencias entre sujetos sexualmente activos y no activos. Se han hallado diferencias por género, y por categorías de apego, así como entre las personas sexualmente activas y no activas.
