假设了一个模型，其中人格特征影响性行为的动机，从而影响更安全性行为的自我决定，从而影响更危险的性行为。本研究为横断面问卷调查。参与者是18至21岁的大学生，其中200人有过性经验。该模型进行了测试，使用结构方程模型。根据最后的模型，安全性行为的自主动机减少了危险的性行为，而控制的动机没有效果。宜人性通过增加安全性行为的自主动机来减少危险行为，这种效应是由发生性行为的亲密动机介导的。责任心通过增加安全性行为的自主动机来减少风险性行为。性行为的增强动机增加了风险行为。在设计减少危险性行为的干预措施时，应考虑到个性和动机过程中的这种个体差异。
A model was hypothesized whereby personality traits influenced motives for having sex, which influenced self-determination of safer sex, which influenced riskier sexual behaviour. The study was a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. The participants were 18 to 21-year-old university students, 200 of whom were sexually experienced. The model was tested using structural equation modelling. According to the final model, autonomous motivation for safer sex reduced riskier sexual behaviour, whereas controlled motivation had no effect. Agreeableness reduced riskier behaviour by increasing autonomous motivation for safer sex, an effect mediated by intimacy motive for having sex. Conscientiousness reduced riskier sexual behaviour by increasing autonomous motivation for safer sex. Enhancement motive for having sex increased riskier behaviour. Such individual differences in personality and motivational processes should be taken into account when designing interventions to reduce riskier sexual behaviour.
