目的:本研究调查了酒精使用和避孕套使用之间的联系,以及发生这些行为的性关系的性质,并检验了伴侣类型抑制酒精使用对避孕套使用的负面直接影响的概念。方法:通过对1417名(54%女性)在过去6个月内有过性行为的18-25岁青壮年进行面对面访谈,收集数据。结果:采用受试者内部分析方法,结果显示,饮酒和使用安全套在随意性伴侣中比在严肃的性伴侣中更常见,正如预期的那样。此外,与抑制假说一致,只有在控制了伴侣类型后,酒精使用和避孕套使用之间的关系才变得显著和负相关。结论:这些发现表明,伴侣类型、酒精使用和避孕套使用之间的相互关系是复杂的,连接每一对变量的过程最好被理解为一个更大的相互关联变量系统的一部分。
Objective: The present study examined the links between alcohol use and condom use, and the nature of the sexual relationship in which these behaviors occurred, and tested the notion that partner type suppresses the negative, direct effects of alcohol use on condom use. Method: Data were collected as part of face-to-face interviews conducted with 1,417 (54% female) randomly selected young adults (aged 18-25 years) who had had sex in the past 6 months. Results: Using within-subjects analytic procedures, results showed that both drinking and condom use were more common with casual than with serious sexual partners, as expected. Moreover, consistent with the suppression hypothesis, the relationship between alcohol use and condom use became significant and negative only after controlling for partner type. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the interrelationships among partner type, alcohol use and condom use are complex and that the processes linking each pair of variables are best understood as part of a larger system of interconnected variables.
