抑制冲突理论预测，酒精只会减少那些对使用安全套有高度冲突的人使用安全套，而期望理论预测这种影响只会发生在那些对酒精对性冒险的影响有强烈信念的人身上。在研究1中，这两个理论中的第一个使用新开发的冲突测量进行了测试。来自308名大学生的数据，他们第一次与他们最近的合作伙伴（FMRP）性交的报告支持这一措施的效用，并显示，饮酒量与安全套的使用呈负相关，只有在高冲突的个人。在研究2中，17至25岁的受访者报告了他们的第一次性交，FMRP和最后一次性交（ns = 465，1136和984，分别）。在同时测试的抑制冲突理论和期望理论，饮酒量与安全套的使用在第一次性交中的冲突和期望值高的个人，在FMRP高期望值的个人，最后在高冲突的个人之间的负相关。这些结果部分支持了这两种理论的酒精的影响，并建议，这两个观点的整合，最终将需要研究人员充分模拟酒精对人类社会行为的影响。
Inhibition conflict theory predicts that alcohol will decrease condom use only among individuals who are highly conflicted about using a condom, whereas expectancy theory predicts such an effect only among individuals who hold strong beliefs about alcohol's effects on sexual risk taking. In Study 1, the first of these two theories was tested using a newly developed measure of conflict. Data from 308 college students who reported on the first time they had sexual intercourse with their most recent partner (FMRP) supported the utility of this measure and showed that quantity of alcohol consumed was negatively associated with condom use only among high-conflict individuals. In Study 2, 17- to 25-year-old respondents reported on their first sexual intercourse, FMRP, and last intercourse (ns = 465, 1136, and 984, respectively). In a simultaneous test of both inhibition conflict theory and expectancy theory, amount of alcohol consumed was found to be negatively associated with condom use at first intercourse among individuals high in both conflict and expectancy, at FMRP among high-expectancy individuals, and at last intercourse among high-conflict individuals. These results lend partial support to both theories of alcohol's effects and suggest that an integration of these two perspectives will ultimately be required if researchers are to model adequately alcohol's effects on human social behavior.
