来自居住在美国中西部五个中等城市、年龄在13-21岁之间的年轻男性男男性行为者(YMSM)样本(n=154)的数据被用来检验这一假设，即人格变量(冲动的决策、感觉寻求、焦虑/抑郁、内在的同性恋恐惧症)除了其他高危行为(即药物使用和性伴数量)和伴侣状态(有约会伙伴)之外，对无保护肛交的预测具有独特的贡献。分层回归分析的结果表明，报告的肛交伴侣数量和伴侣状况与自我报告的无保护肛交频率呈正相关。除了这些因素之外，冲动的决策对预测模型的贡献也很大。这些发现表明，为YMSM制定有效的预防规划应考虑到目标群体成员的关系状况和性决策的冲动。
Data from a sample (n = 154) of young men who have sex with men (YMSM), aged 13-21, residing in five mid-sized cities in the midwestern United States were used to test the hypothesis that personality variables (impulsive decision making, sensation seeking, anxiety/depression, internalized homophobia) contribute uniquely to the prediction of unprotected anal sex beyond what is accounted for by other high-risk behaviors (i.e., substance use and number of sex partners) and partner status (having a dating partner). Results of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that number of reported anal sex partners and partner status were positively associated with self-reported frequency of unprotected anal sex. Beyond these factors, impulsive decision making significantly contributed to the predictive model. These findings indicate that designing effective prevention programming for YMSM should take into consideration relationship status and the impulsiveness of sexual decision making among members of the target group.
