评估方式、人和情境变量对性行为自我报告准确性的影响仍不确定。为了评估这些影响，190 名年轻女性完成了性欲和社会期望的测量，然后用日记监测她们与健康相关的行为，为期 8 周。他们两次回来完成面对面访谈（FTFI）或自填问卷（SAQ），了解他们在同一时间段内的行为。为了检查参与者回顾性自我报告的明显准确性，通过从日记卡中减去 FTFI 或 SAQ 上获得的回答来计算差异分数。结果表明，两种评估方式都是可靠的；可靠性并不因评估模式的不同而有所不同。然而; SAQ 对受保护的阴道性交的反应差异较小； SAQ 和 FTFI 的无保护性行为报告是相同的。情境和个人变量并不能预测准确度分数，而准确度分数会因行为频率较高而受到损害。结果表明，两种评估模式都是可靠的，并且 SAQ 对于某些性行为可能是准确的。
Effects of mode of assessment, person, and situational variables on the accuracy of self-reports of sexual behavior remain uncertain. To evaluate these influences, 190 young women completed measures of erotophilia and social desirability and then monitored their health-related behaviors with a diary for 8 weeks. They returned on two occasions to complete either a face-to-face interview (FTFI) or a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) regarding their behavior over the same interval. To check the apparent accuracy of participants' retrospective self-reports, a difference score was calculated by subtracting responses obtained on the FTFI or SAQ from the diary card. Results indicated that both modes of assessment were reliable; reliability did not differ as a function of mode of assessment. However; SAQs elicited less discrepant responses for protected vaginal sex; SAQ and FTFI reports for unprotected sexual behaviors were equivalent. Situational and person variables did not predict accuracy scores, which were impaired at higher frequencies of behavior. Results suggest that both modes of assessment were reliable and SAQs may be move accurate for some sexual behaviors.
