dc.description.abstractObjectives: Sexual myths are exaggerated beliefs that have no scientific basis. Buying into these beliefs can lead to any number of sexual dysfunctions and decreased quality of life. Therefore, it is necessary to uncover the factors associated with sexual myths and to provide remedial services for anyone struggling with them. Methods: This study was conducted to determine the variables affecting sexual myths. Gender, demographic variables (family type, region of residence, and talking about sexuality with parents), religiosity, and childhood trauma were included as independent variables in the study. A total of 375 teacher candidates participated in the study. Data was collected using a personal information form, Sexual Myths Scale, Religiosity Scale, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Results: Descriptive analyses and linear multiple regression analysis were used in the study, and both adherence to sexual myths and experienced childhood trauma were found to be high in the teacher candidates who did not talk about sexuality with their families. Conclusions: The results of the analysis showed that gender and religiosity were significant predictors of sexual myths. The findings were discussed in light of the literature.en_US
