在横断面研究中，支持和反对性的动机是从事或放弃性行为的显着预测因素。参与者（N = 637 名，41.4% 为男性）提供了关于他们在进入大学之前和大学第一年六个月内支持和反对性行为以及终生性行为的动机的数据。纵向数据用于检查大学入学前夏季报告的继续禁欲（Nevers，44.7%）、在接下来的几个月内转向性行为（Transitioners，11.0%）和之前性活跃（Actives，44.3%）的学生在性动机和反对性动机方面的差异。方差分析的多变量分析表明，与讷韦尔相比，过渡者在行为开始之前表现出围绕性的动机的平均水平差异（对性的更大的亲密和增强动机，对性的较低价值动机）。此外，过渡者报告说，从大学前到六个月的随访，动机发生了更大的变化，包括对性的增强动机增加，以及反对性的价值观和尚未准备好的动机减少。与女性相比，男性报告了更重要的性动机和不太重要的性动机，交互显示，有性经验的女性报告了更重要的亲密动机，而性经验不足的男性报告了更重要的应对性动机。确定与即将发生的性行为变化相关的显着动机可能有助于制定性健康促进计划，以寻求在重要的过渡时期接触缺乏性经验的个体。
Motivations for and against sex are salient predictors of engaging in or abstaining from sex in cross-sectional studies. Participants (N= 637, 41.4% male) provided data on their motivations for and against sex and lifetime sexual behavior prior to entering college and six months into the first year in college. Longitudinal data were used to examine differences on motivations for and against sex reported the summer before college entrance for students who continued to abstain (Nevers, 44.7%), transitioned to sexual behavior in the following months (Transitioners, 11.0%), and who were previously sexually active (Actives, 44.3%). Multivariate analysis of variance analyses indicated that Transitioners evidenced mean-level differences in motivations surrounding sex (greater intimacy and enhancement motives for sex, lower values motives against sex) prior to their behavioral initiation compared to Nevers. In addition, Transitioners reported greater changes in motivations from pre-college to the six-month follow-up, including increased enhancement motivations for sex and decreased values and not ready motivations against sex. Men reported more important motivations for sex and less important motivations against sex than women, with an interaction showing that sexually experienced women reported more important intimacy motivations and sexually inexperienced men reported more important coping motivations for sex. Identifying salient motivations associated with imminent changes in sexual behavior may support the development of sexual health promotion programs that seek to reach sexually inexperienced individuals at important times of transition.
