Sexual agreements are ubiquitous among gay men. Lower levels of investment in these agreements may be associated with breaking them or engaging in risky sexual behavior. A scale was developed to measure agreement investment levels among gay men. Qualitative data from 78 gay men in committed relationships were analyzed to inform item development, followed by quantitative analyses of two larger samples (n = 380, n = 1,001) to assess construct, convergent, and discriminant validity. The Sexual Agreement Investment Scale (SAIS) is a psychometrically sound measure of the level of investment in sexual agreements among gay men in relationships. Men with higher agreement investment were less likely to break agreements and less likely to engage in unprotected anal intercourse with outside partners. The SAIS can be used to measure investment in sexual agreements and its impact on sexual behavior in a wide variety of settings, including research on relationships, sexuality, couples therapy and HIV prevention.
性协议在男同性恋者中普遍存在。这些协议投资水平较低可能与违反协议或从事危险性行为有关。开发了一种衡量男同性恋者协议投资水平的量表。对来自 78 名处于承诺关系中的男同性恋者的定性数据进行了分析,为项目开发提供了信息,随后对两个更大的样本(n=380,n=1001)进行了定量分析,以评估其结构、收敛和区分效度。性协议投资量表(SAIS)是一种用于衡量同性恋男性在关系中性协议投资水平的心理测量学上合理的工具。在协议投资较高的男性中,违反协议的可能性较低,与外部伴侣进行无保护肛交的可能性也较低。SAIS 可用于衡量性协议的投资及其对各种环境中性行为的影响,包括关系、性学、夫妻治疗和 HIV 预防方面的研究。
