This study examined the relationship between gender roles and sociosexuality (an individual difference variable describing attitudes about sexual permissiveness and promiscuity), and their predictive pattern of HIV-related sexual risk behaviors. A geographically diverse sample of 275 adult, heterosexual Black women (mean age = 33.60 years), participated in a self-administered survey. Significant relationships were found between feminine traits and sociosexuality, and between sociosexuality and four of the five risky sexual behavior variables. Neither masculine nor feminine gender roles were related to any risky sexual behavior variables. Sociosexuality emerged as an important correlate that requires further exploration of its relationship to the attitudes and behaviors of Black women, and its potential relationship to HIV risk-related sexual behavior. The need for more attention to psychosocial variables, and consideration of context, cultural norms, and values is discussed as an important undertaking in order to garner an accurate picture of sexual risk behavior.
本研究考察了性别角色与社会性取向（一个描述对性放纵和滥交态度的个体差异变量）之间的关系，以及它们对与艾滋病病毒相关的性风险行为的预测模式。来自不同地理位置的275名成年异性恋黑人女性（平均年龄 = 33.60岁）参与了一项自填式调查。研究发现女性特质与社会性取向之间存在显著关系，社会性取向与五个危险性行为变量中的四个之间也存在显著关系。男性化和女性化的性别角色均与任何危险性行为变量无关。社会性取向是一个重要的相关因素，需要进一步探讨其与黑人女性态度和行为的关系，以及其与艾滋病病毒风险相关性行为的潜在关系。为了准确了解性风险行为，讨论了更多关注心理社会变量以及考虑背景、文化规范和价值观的必要性，这是一项重要任务。
