Abstract
The purpose of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS) and its relations with sexual behaviors and their associated outcomes. Data were collected from 390 young adults. Results indicated acceptable levels of internal consistency for the SCS (α = .79) and acceptable levels of construct and criterion-related validity. Forward stepwise logistic regression analyses suggest that the SCS was capable of predicting negative outcomes and unprotected sexual intercourse. The SCS appears to hold great potential for use in sexual health programs focusing on young adults.
