Much is known about predictors of risky sexual behaviors in young adults. Little is known; however, about the contribution of temperament and how temperament interacts with context to influence sexual risk intentions and actual behaviors. Since intentions are closely linked to behavior, knowing how temperament influences these decisions is important in planning interventions. The purpose of this quasiexperimental study was to examine the effect of gender, temperament, and context on sexual risk intentions and behaviors among college students (N = 145). Although individual components of temperament were associated with sexual risk intentions, temperament did not predict sexual risk intentions in a safer or risky context or actual behaviors. There were also no differences by gender. In this study, temperament did not interact with context to influence sexual risk intentions or behaviors. According to these results, interventions promoting safer sexual behaviors may not have to be tailored to individuals with different temperament styles.
我们对年轻成年人中危险性行为的预测因素了解颇多。然而，对于气质的作用以及气质如何与环境相互作用以影响性风险意图和实际行为，我们却知之甚少。由于意图与行为密切相关，了解气质如何影响这些决策对于规划干预措施至关重要。这项准实验研究的目的是检验性别、气质和环境对大学生（N = 145）性风险意图和行为的影响。尽管气质的各个组成部分与性风险意图相关，但气质并不能预测在安全或危险环境中的性风险意图或实际行为。性别之间也没有差异。在这项研究中，气质并未与环境相互作用以影响性风险意图或行为。根据这些结果，促进更安全性行为的干预措施可能无需针对具有不同气质类型的个体进行定制。
