决策的双重过程模型表明,行为是由自发的行为选择过程或更慎重的行为选择评估来调节的。我们研究了协商系统是否调节了自发认知对艾滋病毒危险行为的影响。在一项针对 490 名成年毒品犯罪者的横断面研究中,对自发的性相关联想(词语联想)的测量、深思熟虑的工作记忆能力的测量(操作跨度)和性行为的两种测量(安全套的使用和多个伴侣)进行了评估。在两种潜在相互作用模型中,在男性中观察到显着影响,但在女性中未观察到显着影响。一项新发现表明,工作记忆能力较高的男性与工作记忆能力较低的男性相比,自发的安全性行为相关关联的可及性更能预测安全套的使用。这些结果对于促进安全性行为的干预措施的设计具有重要意义。
Dual process models of decision-making suggest that behavior is mediated by a spontaneous behavior selection process or by a more deliberative evaluation of behavioral options. We examined whether the deliberative system moderates the influence of spontaneous cognition on HIV-risk behaviors. A measure of spontaneous sex-related associations (word association), a measure of deliberative working memory capacity (operation span), and two measures of sexual behavior (condom use and multiple partners) were assessed in a cross-sectional study among 490 adult drug offenders. Significant effects were observed among men but not among women in two latent interaction models. In a novel finding, the accessibility of spontaneous safe sex-related associations was significantly more predictive of condom use among men with higher working memory capacity than among men with lower capacity. These results have implications for the design of interventions to promote safe sex practices.
