心理测量技术被用于开发一种基于理论的与安全性行为相关的构念测量。一项初步研究和两项使用大学生样本的研究进行了推导、保留和验证量表项目。最后的38项量表包括对安全性行为的态度、规范性信念、尝试实施安全性行为的意图、对安全性行为可行性的期望、对艾滋病毒/艾滋病的感知易感性和物质使用的子量表。每个子量表都对关键理论结构的预测做出了贡献，约占方差的40%。尝试安全性行为的意愿和自我报告的艾滋病毒风险行为差异的约五分之一。最终量表以及每个子量表均具有内部信度、结构效度和预测效度。
Psychometric techniques were used for the development of a theoretically-based measure of constructs related to safer sexual activity. A pilot study and two studies using college student samples were conducted to derive, retain, and validate scale items. The final 38-item scale is comprised of subscales measuring attitudes about safer sex, normative beliefs, intention to try to practice safer sex, expectations about the feasibility of safer sexual activity, perceived susceptibility to HIV/AIDS, and substance use. Each subscale contributed to the prediction of critical theoretical constructs, accounting for about 40% of the variance in. intention to try to practice safer sex and for about one fifth of the variance in self-reported HIV risk behavior. The final scale, as well as each subscale, was characterized by internal reliability and both construct and predictive validity.
