目的：尽管大量文献表明童年时期的身体、情感和性虐待与晚年艾滋病毒相关的风险行为有关，但很少有研究探讨抑制解除（例如，冲动，冒险倾向，和感觉寻求）作为一个危险因素，在这种关系。方法：本横断面研究探讨了冲动，冒险倾向，和感觉寻求作为中介之间的关系，滥用历史和参与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为之间的样本96内城非洲裔美国青少年。结果：研究结果表明，虐待史与自我报告的参与艾滋病毒相关的危险行为呈正相关（B =.027，SE. 008，beta =.32，sr（2）=.105，p =.001），以及冒险倾向（B =.35，SE. 11，β =.30，sr（2）=.090，p =.003）和感觉寻求（B =. 17，SE.05，β =.35，sr2 =. 124，p =.0004）。滥用史与冲动性无关。此外，虽然感觉寻求和冒险倾向（在较小程度上）介导这种关系，冲动没有.Conclusions：这些研究结果提供了一个初步的步骤，在检查儿童虐待和参与艾滋病毒相关的风险行为之间的关系的机制。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objectives: Although a wealth of literature suggests that childhood physical, emotional, and sexual abuse are related to later-life HIV-related risk behaviors, few studies have explored disinhibition (e.g., impulsivity, risk-taking propensity, and sensation-seeking) as a risk factor in this relationship.Method: This cross-sectional study examined impulsivity, risk-taking propensity, and sensation seeking as mediators in the relationship between abuse history and engagement in HIV-related risk behaviors among a sample of 96 inner-city African American adolescents.Results: Findings indicated that abuse history was positively related to self-reported engagement in HIV-related risk behaviors (B =.027, SE.008, beta =.32, sr(2) =.105, p =.001), as well as risk-taking propensity (B =.35, SE. 11, beta =.30, sr(2) =.090, p =.003) and sensation seeking (B =. 17, SE.05, beta =.35, sr2 =. 124, p =.0004). Abuse history was not related to impulsivity. Further, while sensation-seeking and risk-taking propensity (to a lesser extent) mediated this relationship, impulsivity did not.Conclusions: These findings provide an initial step in the examination of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between childhood abuse and engagement in HIV-related risk behaviors.
