本研究以Rusbult（1980）的投资模式，检视关系特徴对稳定男同性恋伴侣间安全性行为的影响。分析表明，对关系的低满意度与更危险的无保护肛交（UAI）有关。对关系的高度承诺与更多的协商安全实践相关（即，在双方艾滋病毒检测呈阴性并达成性安全协议后进行安全的UAI）。高关系投资与更高风险的UAI（边缘显著）相关。我们的结论是，使用关系的满意度，承诺，和投资的共同决定因素的性风险行为可能被证明是有用的，在发展新的艾滋病毒预防策略的男同性恋者的关系。
This study examined the effects of relationship characteristics, as measured by Rusbult's (1980) investment model, on safer-sex behavior between steady gay male partners. Analyses showed that low satisfaction with the relationship was associated with more risky unprotected anal intercourse (UAI). High commitment to the relationship was associated with more practice of negotiated safety (i.e., having safe UAI after both partners have tested negative for HIV and have reached sexual safety agreements). High relationship investment was associated with more risky UAI (borderline significant). We conclude that using relationship satisfaction, commitment, and investment as co-determinants of sexual risk behavior could prove useful in the development of new HIV-prevention strategies for gay men in relationships.
