目的：本研究旨在验证急性酒精中毒和酒精评级性期望与风险感知（动机因素）和与伴侣协商安全性行为的能力（行为技能因素）负相关的假设。根据信息-动机-行为技能（IMB）模型，动机和行为技能是安全性行为的决定因素。方法：共102名21 ~ 30岁的异性恋女性参加两期研究。第一阶段包括管理各种措施来确认资格状态，并随机分配到三种饮料条件中的一种：“水控制”，“酒精”（0.65 2酒精/公斤体重）或“安慰剂”。第二阶段包括喝饮料，然后完成风险感知测量和行为技能的视听角色扮演测量。结果：回归分析显示，酒精预期和醉酒感知对风险感知和行为技能都有独立方差。实际酒精中毒对这些因变量影响不大。结论：酒精预期和相关因素可能与理论上发生危险性行为之前的变量相关。需要研究预期可能与安全性行为的发生有关的过程，以及缓和酒精和酒精预期对安全性行为的影响的个人和情况变量。
Objective: This study was undertaken to test the hypotheses that acute alcohol intoxication and alcohol-rated sex expectancies are negatively related to both risk perception (a motivational factor) and ability to negotiate safer sex (a behavioral skills factor) with a partner. Motivation and behavioral skills are determinants of safer sex according to the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model. Method: A total of 102 heterosexual females ages 21-30 years participated in two sessions. The first session involved the administration of various measures to confirm eligibility status, and random assignment to one of three beverage conditions: "water control," "alcohol" (0,65 2 alcohol/kg body weight) or "placebo." The second session involved administration of the beverage and then completion of a risk perception measure and an audiovisual role-play measure of behavioral skills, Results: Regression analyses showed that alcohol expectancies and the perception of intoxication contributed independent variance to both risk perception and behavioral skills. Actual alcohol intoxication had little influence on these dependent variables, Conclusions: Alcohol expectancies and related factors can be related to variables that theoretically precede the occurrence of risky sex. Research is needed on the processes through which expectancies might be related to the occurrence of safer sex, as well as on person and situation variables that moderate the effects of alcohol and alcohol expectancies on safer sex.
