虽然先前的研究表明，寻求感觉和冲动的决策与性冒险有关，但这些人格特征是独立运行还是协同作用，目前还不清楚。这项研究的目的是利用大量性行为活跃的年轻人(N=2386)的数据来阐明这些人格特征对艾滋病毒和性传播疾病(STD)危险行为的共同贡献。回归模型表明，在11个与风险相关的结果中，感觉寻求和冲动决策都与性风险行为一致相关。结果进一步表明，感觉寻求和冲动决策在使用毒品的性行为、使用酒精的伴侣行为和使用药物的伴侣的行为的结果变量上存在协同作用。与此形成对比的是，感觉寻求和冲动决策相对于其他性风险结果是独立运作的。讨论了理论意义，以及对高感觉寻求者和冲动决策者预防艾滋病毒/性传播疾病的影响。
Although prior studies have shown that sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making are related to sexual risk-taking, it is still unclear whether these personality traits operate independently or synergistically. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the joint contribution of these personality traits to HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk behaviors using data from a large sample of sexually active young adults (N = 2,386). Regression modeling indicated that both sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making were consistently associated with sexual risk behaviors across 11 risk-related outcomes. Results further indicated that sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making operated synergistically with respect to the outcome variables of sex acts using drugs, acts with a partner using alcohol, and acts with a partner using drugs. In contrast to this, sensation seeking and impulsive decision-making operated independently with respect to the other sexual risk outcomes. Theoretical implications, as well as implications for HIV/STD prevention among high sensation seekers and impulsive decision-makers, are discussed.
