Resumo: The transition to university is a delicate moment in development, in which individuals may be exposed to many stressors and also exhibit risky behaviors, such as unprotected sex. This study aimed to analyze differences in opinions about contraception based on self-reported sexual and contraceptive behavior. Around 253 sexually active young students answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic and sexual behavior data and a scale on contraceptive opinions. The use of contraceptives was reported by 95% of participants, but only 22% claimed consistent condom use. Inconsistent condom use was associated with negative opinions regarding its impact on sexual intercourse. Amongst women, condom use was associated with opinions of higher assertiveness in the negotiation of contraceptive methods. Men were less favorable of the idea of discussing contraceptive methods as a couple. Contraception support interventions must take into account the different barriers that affect men’s and women’s contraceptive behaviors.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar diferencias de opiniones sobre anticoncepción y la conducta sexual autoinformada. Jóvenes estudiantes sexualmente activos (253) llenaron un cuestionario de dados sociodemográficos y conducta sexual y una escala sobre opiniones contraceptivas. El uso de contraceptivos fue reportado por 95% de los participantes, pero solo 22% relataran uso del condón. El impacto del condón en el sexo fue asociado con sexo desprotegido. Entre las mujeres, el uso del condón fue asociado con opiniones de mayor asertividad en la negociación de métodos contraceptivos. Hombres fueron menos favorables de la idea de discutir métodos contraceptivos como pareja. Intervenciones de soporte a la contracepción deben considerar las diferentes barreras que afectan las conductas de hombres y mujeres.A transição para a universidade é um momento sensível do desenvolvimento no qual os indivíduos podem estar expostos a mais estressores e exibir comportamentos de risco, como sexo desprotegido. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar diferenças em opiniões sobre contracepção com base no comportamento sexual autorrelatado. Jovens estudantes sexualmente ativos (253) responderam a um questionário sobre dados sociodemográficos e comportamento sexual, e a uma escala de opiniões sobre contracepção. O uso de contraceptivos foi reportado por 95% dos participantes, mas apenas 22% relataram uso consistente de camisinha. Uso inconsistente de camisinha esteve associado a opiniões negativas sobre seu impacto na relação sexual. Entre as mulheres, o uso de camisinha se associou a opiniões de maior assertividade na negociação de métodos contraceptivos. Homens se mostraram menos favoráveis a discutir métodos contraceptivos em casal. Intervenções de suporte à contracepção devem levar em conta as diferentes barreiras à contracepção que afetam homens e mulheres.Editora Mackenzie2020-09-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/1163410.5935/1980-6906/psicologia.v22n3p115-136The Journal Of Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 22 No. 3 (2020); 92-136Revista Psicología: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 22 Núm. 3 (2020); 92-136Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 22 n. 3 (2020); 92-1361980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
