Diplôme Master The Moderating Role of Romantic Attachment in the Relationship between Genital Self-Image and Sexual Satisfaction in Women with lichen Sclerosus eng 2024-09-03 author Gourlaouen Louise Andrée Nathalie 905399 director Cairo Notari Sarah 706164 Section de psychologie (PSICO) <p>Women with genital lichen sclerosus (GLS) report sexual dissatisfaction despite adequate medical treatment. The present study examined the moderating role of romantic attachment on the relationship between genital self-image and sexual satisfaction in a sample of 55 women with GLS. Their mean age was 42.12 years (SD = 13.45). Data was collected via an online questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression models were used to test the moderation hypothesis. Our results show that genital self-image is a significant positive predictor and romantic attachment dimensions (anxiety and avoidance) are significant negative predictors of sexual satisfaction, controlling for GLS symptoms. Contrary to our hypothesis, the interaction between the two variables was not significant, indicating no moderating role of romantic attachment. Clinical interventions should focus on female genital self-image and romantic attachment in women with GLS to address sexual dissatisfaction.</p> Sexual satisfaction Lichen sclerosus Genital self image Romantic attachment Dewey 150 Maîtrise universitaire en psychologie 108 Section de psychologie 71 false 3f7c22e0-6bb3-44df-8a5d-dee389cee513 Master thesis Private ARCHIVES_MEMOIRE_GOURLAOUEN_SCN.pdf 1599849 application/pdf 8f899ab42d5801559ef7e52485b97cbb2d7da8ad33ce577bc6a1f828516aa71c closedAccess Faculté de psychologie et des sciences de l'éducation / Section de psychologie
