    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Psicología Clínica, 2024-09-09) Zambrano Valencia, Lizeth Samantha; Sánchez Acosta, Adriana Carolina
    Introduction: Religiosity is a social entity that encompasses theology, a set of normative traditions, rituals, attitudes, values, or practices linked to a transcendent power. on the other hand, sexual identity is a multidimensional construct composed of gender identity, with sexual behaviors being an observable expression of an individual's sexuality. Objective: To determine the relationship between religiosity and exploration of sexual identity in adolescents. Methods: The study consisted of 130 adolescents aged 14 to 18 from the Pelileo, Tungurahua province, Ecuador. This sample was taken using non-probabilistic convenience sampling, with participants voluntarily agreeing to respond to the Sexual Identity Exploration Questionnaire and the Durel Scale to measure religiosity. This was done through a quantitative research approach, nonexperimental design, descriptive level with correlational scope, and cross-sectional design. Results: The results obtained in the selected population showed a mild positive correlation between religiosity and one dimension of sexual identity, which was gender identity. Conclusions: It was found that adolescents have a moderate level of religiosity, influenced by the environment and context of the population. Additionally, the calculation of the mean score in the dimensions of sexual identity, as well as the comparison of identity in males and females, did not yield statistically significant differences.
