Introduction: Sexual identity is a large part of each individual's identity. Since various factors contribute to the formation of sexual identity, individuals use different sources to create a sexual identity and teach girls and boys gender behaviour. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare incompatible schemas and cyberspace on inconsistent sexual identity in adolescents and youth.
Methods: The study's statistical population included all the youth and adolescents of Shiraz (Iran) in 2024, of which 60 (30 with sexual identity, 30 with heterogeneous sexual identity). Available in the study. Research measurement tools were Yang Form Schema Questionnaires (1994), Sexual Identity / Gender Identity Dagrassias (2007) and Virtual World Lee et al. (2005). The information from the questionnaires was analysed using SPSS-23 software and examined the research hypotheses by the multiplier variance analysis test.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between maladaptive schemas and the use of cyberspace in two groups of sexual identity in adolescents and young people (p<0.001). Also, there was no significant difference between the autonomy scheme and the impaired performance of the two groups (p<0.118).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is suggested that in centres such as psychology clinics or counselling centres, training programs for informing and gaining insights into the unnecessary sexual identity that may be false and superficial due to the influence of individual schema or space. To be virtual, not to regret the sex change in the person. Also, training skills such as social relationships, self -knowledge, and how to use cyberspace for adolescents, young people and parents. |
