本研究检验了时间滞后对回溯性行为自我报告的有效性的影响。75名异性恋学生(44名女性，31名男性)在1个月的时间里每天记录性行为、避孕套的使用和酒精或药物的使用。在日记完成后1、2和3个月，通过回忆访谈(每个间隔采访25人)评估受访者回忆在此期间记录的性行为的能力。对于阴道性交，日记后3个月的总回忆错误显著大于日记后1个月。在评估的所有其他变量中，2个月和3个月的时间间隔没有导致总回忆错误的显著增加阴道性交、性高潮和性行为前饮酒的频率较高与某些但不是所有行为和结果的总回忆错误相关。研究结果部分验证了日记访谈回忆模型作为研究回忆错误的方法的有效性。
This study examined the effect of time lag on the validity of retrospective self-reports of sexual behavior Seventy-five heterosexual students (44 women, 31 men) made daily recordings of sexual behavior, condom use, and alcohol or substance use for 1 month. Ability of respondents to recall sexual behavior recorded during this period was assessed at 1, 2, and 3 months after diary completion using recall interviews (25 interviewed at each interval). For vaginal intercourse, total recall error was significantly greater at 3 months than at 1 month post-diary. For all other variables assessed, the 2- and 3-month time intervals did not produce significant increases in total recall error Higher frequency of vaginal intercourse, orgasm, and alcohol use prior to sexual activity were associated with total recall error for some but not all behaviors and outcomes. The results provide a partial validation of the diary-interview recall model as a method for studying recall error.
