Australian young adults reported how often they wanted to use condoms in both romantic (n = 667) and casual relationship (n = 152) contexts and how often they thought their partners wanted to use condoms. Young adults wanted to use condoms more often than they perceived their partners to in both casual and romantic relationship contexts. Gender interactions showed that this pattern was especially strong among young women. Women seemed to underestimate the frequency at which their male partners wanted to use condoms. Furthermore, both the participants' condom use desires and perceptions of their partners' condom use desires predicted condom use behavior. Results suggest that gendered expectations may play a part in how often individuals perceive their partners to want to use condoms, which, in effect, may determine condom use behavior.
澳大利亚的年轻成年人报告了他们在浪漫关系（n = 667）和随意关系（n = 152）背景下想要使用避孕套的频率，以及他们认为伴侣想要使用避孕套的频率。年轻成年人想要使用避孕套的频率高于他们在随意和浪漫关系背景下感知到的频率。性别互动表明，这种模式在年轻女性中尤为强烈。女性似乎低估了男性伴侣想要使用避孕套的频率。此外，参与者对避孕套的使用愿望和对伴侣使用避孕套愿望的感知都可以预测避孕套的使用行为。研究结果表明，性别期望可能在一定程度上影响人们对伴侣使用避孕套的意愿频率，从而影响避孕套的使用行为。
