| Sumario: | The aim of this research is to determine if there is a significant relationship between thevariables of personality traits and sexual risk behavior in students from 3rd to 5th gradeof the secondary level of two educational institutions of San Juan de Lurigancho. Thestudy is a non-experimental design, quantitative approach, correlational scope and crosssectional.The scales used to measure the variables were: the Big Five personalityquestionnaire, prepared by Caprara, Barbaranelli and Borgogni (1993), which containsfive dimensions: energy, determination, affability, emotional stability and mental openness; The risk sexual behavior questionnaire of Apaza, Estelo and Quiroz (2017) wasalso used. The sample consisted of 300 students of both sexes between the ages of 14 and18, belonging to two educational institutions in the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. Itwas found that there is a significant relationship between the "tenacious" dimension withtwo risky sexual behaviors: sexual relations with unknown persons (X2 = 4,774; p = .029)and sexual relations at parties with friends (X2 = 6,563; p = .038 ); on the other hand, the“emotional stability” dimension is related to the use of condoms in the last sexualrelationship (X2 = 7.491; p = .024). This paper concludes by stating that not allpersonality traits are related to risky sexual behaviors, since different factors are involvedso that various behaviors are present in the adolescent. |
