A measure of perceived reinforcement associated with amyl nitrite was developed and evaluated among gay and bisexual men. This is the first known expectancy measure to date for this drug class. The Amyl Nitrite Expectancy Questionnaire for Men who have Sex with Men (AEQ-MSM) was completed online by 102 gay and bisexual men, between 2006 and 2008 in Queensland, Australia. The AEQ-MSM demonstrated good psychometric properties and was associated with consumption patterns. Factor analysis revealed three distinct reinforcement domains: "Enhanced sexual desire and pleasure," "Disorientation," and "Sexual negotiation." Limitations include sampling via self-selection, recruitment through health centers and self-report data. Implications for sexual activity and risk-taking, including reducing associated harm (e.g., HIV transmission), and future directions are discussed.
一种与亚硝酸戊酯相关的感知强化测量方法在男同性恋和双性恋者中得到了开发和评估。这是迄今为止该药物类别中第一个已知的预期测量方法。2006 年至 2008 年间，澳大利亚昆士兰州的 102 名男同性恋和双性恋者通过网络完成了《男男性接触者亚硝酸戊酯期望问卷》（AEQ-MSM）。AEQ-MSM 具有良好的心理测量特性，并与消费模式相关。因子分析显示出三个不同的强化领域：“增强的性欲和快感”、“迷失方向”和“性协商”。限制包括通过自我选择进行抽样，通过健康中心和自我报告数据进行招募。讨论了对性行为和冒险行为的影响，包括减少相关伤害（例如 HIV 传播），以及未来的方向。
