The purpose of this study was to examine Rogers' protection motivation theory and aspects of Janis and Mann's conflict theory in the context of AIDS-related health behavior. Subjects were 84 heterosexual men and women and 147 homosexual men with multiple sexual partners; LISREL's path-analysis techniques were used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the structural equation models. Protection motivation theory did fit the data but had considerably more explanatory power for heterosexual than for homosexual subjects (49 vs. 22%, respectively). When coping styles were added, different patterns of findings were found among both groups. Adding variables such as social norms and previous behavior increased the explained variance to 73% for heterosexual subjects and to 44% for homosexual subjects. It was concluded that although protection motivation theory did fit the data fairly adequately, expanding the theory with other variables--especially those related to previous behavior--could improve our understanding of AIDS-related health behavior.
本研究的目的是在与艾滋病相关的健康行为背景下，检验罗杰斯的保护动机理论以及贾尼斯和曼的冲突理论的各个方面。研究对象为84名有多个性伴侣的异性恋男性和女性以及147名同性恋男性；使用LISREL的路径分析技术来评估结构方程模型的拟合优度。保护动机理论确实符合数据，但对异性恋者的解释力比对同性恋者强得多（分别为49%和22%）。当加入应对方式时，两组中发现了不同的结果模式。加入社会规范和既往行为等变量后，异性恋者的解释方差增加到73%，同性恋者增加到44%。研究得出结论，虽然保护动机理论相当充分地符合数据，但用其他变量——尤其是与既往行为相关的变量——来扩展该理论，可以增进我们对与艾滋病相关的健康行为的理解。
