本研究采用个人主义-集体主义和自我效能的理论框架，对亚洲和高加索男同性恋者性风险行为的相关因素进行了研究。“风险”被定义为与任何临时伴侣或与艾滋病毒状况与参与者不一致的固定伴侣进行无保护的肛交。总共有201名白种人和199名亚裔男同性恋者完成了一份匿名问卷，他们大多是从悉尼市内的同性恋社交场所招募的。大多数参与者都是自认为是同性恋者的同性恋者，并且有超过一半的亚裔男性在悉尼生活了至少3年。总体而言，亚洲男性更倾向于集体主义，而高加索男性更倾向于个人主义。数据分析显示，避免偶遇风险的自我效能感越高，同性恋朋友的比例越小，风险就越低。将个人主义-集体主义和社会认知变量纳入对来自不同文化背景的男同性恋者的性风险行为的检查中，这是有希望的。
A theoretical framework, which included perspectives of individualism-collectivism and self-efficacy, was used to investigate factors associated with sexual risk practice among gay Asian and Caucasian men. "Risk" was defined as unprotected anal intercourse with any casual partner or with a regular partner whose HIV status was not concordant with the participant's. Altogether, 201 Caucasian and 199 Asian gay men, largely recruited from gay social venues in inner Sydney, completed an anonymous questionnaire. Most participants were gay self-identified and gay community attached, and more than half of the Asian men had been living in Sydney for at least 3 years. Overall, the Asian men were more collectivist oriented and the Caucasian men more individualist oriented. Data analyses revealed that higher self-efficacy in avoiding casual risk encounters and smaller proportion of gay friends were associated with less risk. The inclusion of individualism-collectivism and social cognitive variables in the examination of sexual risk practices among gay men from different cultural backgrounds holds promise.
