Abstract The Sexual Competence and Interaction Competence in Youth (SCICY) is a self-report questionnaire, aiming to measure sexual competence and interaction competence in adolescents. The study sample consisted of 276 female undergraduate students (M = 20.95 years, SD = 2.00). The factor structure of the SCICY was calculated on full sample data. A subsample was used to calculate the validity and internal consistency (N = 236; M = 20.88 years, SD = 1.96). The test-retest reliability was also calculated in a subsample (N = 82; M = 21.45 years, SD = 1.74). Based on an exploratory factor analysis eight factors were extracted: Communication about sex, Refusing sex, Positive sexual attitudes, Male role in sexual interaction, Contraceptive use, Not suppressing problems and desires regarding sex, Sexual assertiveness and Sexual hedonism. The subscales possess adequate internal consistency and moderate to excellent test-retest reliability. A higher-order principal-components analysis revealed a two factor structure that appears to adequately represent the sexual competence and interaction competence constructs. Furthermore, convergent and discriminant validity were considered to be good. The results indicate that the SCICY may be a useful instrument to measure sexual and interaction competence amongst adolescents.
