Sexual risk behavior (SRB) is associated with impulsivity, but it is not clear whether different aspects of impulsivity are uniquely related to SRBs in adults. Unmarried adults ages 18 to 30 (N = 296; 41.0% male) recruited from the community reported their frequency of SRBs over the past six months using the Sexual Risk Survey (SRS; Turchik & Garske, 2009) and completed three behavioral measures of impulsivity: insensitivity to delayed consequences (delay discounting [DD]), insensitivity to probabilistic consequences (probability discounting [PD]) and response inhibition (stop signal task [SST]). SRS total scores were significantly related to both DD and PD but not SST. These findings suggest that insensitivity to delayed and probabilistic consequences, but not response inhibition, are meaningfully associated with SRBs in young adults. This may be important for the development of strategies to prevent or reduce sexual risk behaviors.
性行为风险（Sexual risk behavior，SRB）与冲动行为有关，但尚不清楚冲动行为的不同方面是否与成年人的性行为风险有独特的关联。本研究从社区招募了 296 名年龄在 18 至 30 岁的未婚成年人（41.0%为男性），使用性行为风险调查（Sexual Risk Survey，SRS；Turchik & Garske, 2009）报告他们在过去六个月中的性行为风险频率，并完成了三个冲动行为的行为测量：对延迟后果的不敏感（延迟折扣；delay discounting，DD）、对概率后果的不敏感（概率折扣；probability discounting，PD）和反应抑制（停止信号任务；stop signal task，SST）。SRS 总分与 DD 和 PD 显著相关，但与 SST 不相关。这些发现表明，对延迟和概率后果的不敏感，而不是反应抑制，与年轻人的性行为风险显著相关。这对于制定预防或减少性行为风险的策略可能很重要。
