Sažetak
On a sample of 316 male and 332 female participants the
relations of five-factor personality traits and religiosity with
sociosexuality were examined. Several hierarchical regression
analyses were used on the samples of male and female
participants respectively. As criterion variables several specific
indicators of sociosexuality as well as a total score on the
Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI) were used, and as
predictor variables in the first step of the analyses five-factor
personality traits, in the second step religiosity and in the third step interaction between personality and religiosity were
used. Generally, the results obtained indicate that personality
traits and religiosity better predict sociosexuality in women
than in men. Among men, higher sociosexuality is primarily
related to higher extraversion and to a lesser extent to lower
agreeableness and conscientiousness. These personality traits
are also the strongest predictors of sociosexuality among
women, but in the sample of women sociosexuality is
additionally predicted by religiosity and interactions between
personality traits and religiosity. Highly religious women are
more sexually restrictive, and religiosity has an inhibitory
effect on sociosexuality of more extraverted and emotionally
unstable women. The results are discussed in the context of
some evolved psychological mechanisms that generate
sexual behavior.
