Resumen

El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en el análisis de las relaciones entre variables que pertenecen a los sistemas, sexual, de apego y de cuidados, y las posibles diferencias de género en las mismas. La hipóte-sis principal mantiene que los perfiles de apego se asociarán tanto a la experiencia erótica, como al sistema de cuidados. En relación con aquella se valoraron el grado de conflicto con el deseo erótico y el grado de satis-facción con la vida sexual y otras variables relacionadas con el comporta-miento sexual. Para evaluar el sistema de cuidados se analizaron tres tipos de cuidado: sensible, compulsivo y control. La muestra fue de 213 indivi-duos de ambos sexos. Los datos obtenidos apoyan las hipótesis planteadas, de modo que las personas seguras en relación con el apego, tienden a estar más satisfechas con su vida sexual, a tener menor conflicto con el deseo erótico y a mos-trar mayor capacidad de ofrecer cuidados sensibles. Las personas insegu-ras, tendentes a la ansiedad o la evitación, muestran diferencias significati-vas en relación con el grupo de los seguros. Cabe señalar significativas diferencias de género halladas en los resultados.
