本研究探讨了个性，情境和关系背景的个人和联合贡献，因为他们塑造危险的性行为。从1,946名年轻人的社区样本中收集了7,511个离散性事件的数据，并采用多水平模型进行了分析。结果表明，有意义的人与人之间的差异存在的危险性行为，这些差异是可预测的，在理论上合理的方式由个体间的个性差异。然而，大部分的风险行为的变化是在人的水平，可以可靠地解释的个性，情况和关系背景的人内变化。最后，人格与环境相互作用，使人格更强烈地预测危险行为的背景下，表面上是新颖的和模糊的。总之，这些结果表明，危险的性行为不能以静态的、典型的或脱离语境的方式来理解，而必须被视为个人、情境和关系背景的复杂产物。
The present study examines the individual and joint contributions of personality, situations, and relationship contexts as they shape risky sexual behaviors. Data on 7,511 discrete sexual events collected from a community sample of 1,946 young adults were analyzed with multilevel modeling. Results showed that meaningful between-persons differences in risky sexual behavior exist and that these differences are predictable in theoretically reasonable ways by interindividual differences in personality. However, the majority of variance in risky behaviors was at the within-person level and could be reliably explained by within-person changes in personality, the situation, and the relationship context. Finally, personality interacted with context such that personality more strongly predicted risky behaviors in contexts that were ostensibly novel and ambiguous. Together these results suggest that risky Sexual behaviors cannot be understood in a static, typical, or decontextualized way but rather must be viewed as a complex product of the person, the situation, and the relationship context.
