A common finding in studies of heterosexual young adults is that condom use is more likely with casual partners than with regular partners. However, few studies have examined whether correlates of condom use differ with different partners. In this study, 103 heterosexual men and women completed a condom use diary for a period of up to 6 months. Condom use during sexual encounters with regular partners was mainly determined by established patterns of behavior. In contrast, condom use with casual partners was determined by the interaction between the sexual partners during the encounter, and was not influenced by the attitudes and beliefs of the individual. These differences have implications for interventions. They suggest that condom use with casual partners may be increased by furnishing young adults with skills and confidence for negotiating condom use. For young adults in regular relationships, we must ensure that routine patterns of condom use are appropriate for the levels of risk to which the partners are exposed.
在对异性恋年轻成年人的研究中，一个常见的发现是，与临时伴侣相比，使用避孕套的可能性在固定伴侣中更高。然而，很少有研究探讨使用避孕套的相关因素是否因伴侣不同而有所差异。在本研究中，103名异性恋男性和女性完成了一份长达6个月的避孕套使用日记。与固定伴侣发生性行为时使用避孕套主要由既定的行为模式决定。相比之下，与临时伴侣发生性行为时使用避孕套则由性行为过程中性伴侣之间的互动决定，且不受个人态度和信念的影响。这些差异对干预措施具有启示意义。它们表明，通过为年轻人提供协商使用避孕套的技能和信心，可能会增加与临时伴侣使用避孕套的情况。对于处于固定关系中的年轻人，我们必须确保常规的避孕套使用模式适合伴侣所面临的风险水平。
