UNEDAbstract
An exploratory study was carried out with the main objective of examining the differences in the sexual attitudes of gifted persons (ACI) and other participants from the General Population, in terms of their Intelligence (PGI). The sample contained 126 people (80 PGI people and 46 ACI). Participants completed the ATSS scale (2005). All participants in the sample showed attitudes tending towards conservatism. The comparisons carried out, on the basis of age or gender, showed that: a) older people reported more liberal attitudes than younger people, who were more conservative, and b) men had higher values in erotophilia (a more liberal attitude) than women, with the exception of abortion, in which women were more liberal. The comparisons between PGI and ACI showed statistically significant differences in the Factor that refers to pornography, with ACI people being more conservative about this issue.
