OBJECTIVE
Regulatory Focus Theory suggests that goal pursuit is driven by two separate and fundamental motives. Being more focused on prevention motivates people to enact safer behaviors and avoid negative outcomes (e.g., to prevent diseases), whereas being more focused on promotion motivates people to take risks and pursue pleasurable experiences (e.g., condomless sex).
METHODS
A quasi-experimental study ( = 476) examined if differences in regulatory focus (i.e., prevention promotion) determined condom use intentions with a prospective casual partner, depending on condom availability delay and STI risk cues.
RESULTS
Participants focused on prevention ( promotion) were less likely to consider having condomless sex across condom availability delays conditions. However, STI risk cues changed condom use intentions. When STI risk was lower, condom use intentions decreased as condom availability delays increased (particularly for participants focused on promotion). When STI risk was higher, condom use intentions were stronger and consistent across condom availability delays (particularly for participants focused on prevention).
CONCLUSIONS
These findings highlight the importance of distinct sexual motives when examining sexual health practices.
目的
调节焦点理论表明，目标追求由两种不同的基本动机驱动。更关注预防会促使人们采取更安全的行为并避免负面结果（例如预防疾病），而更关注促进则会促使人们冒险并追求愉悦体验（例如无保护性行为）。
方法
一项准实验研究（n = 476）考察了调节焦点（即预防与促进）的差异是否会根据避孕套可得性延迟和性传播感染风险提示来决定与潜在临时伴侣发生性行为时使用避孕套的意图。
结果
在不同的避孕套可得性延迟条件下，关注预防（而非促进）的参与者不太可能考虑进行无保护性行为。然而，性传播感染风险提示改变了使用避孕套的意图。当性传播感染风险较低时，随着避孕套可得性延迟增加，使用避孕套的意图降低（特别是对于关注促进的参与者）。当性传播感染风险较高时，在不同的避孕套可得性延迟情况下，使用避孕套的意图更强且一致（特别是对于关注预防的参与者）。
结论
这些发现凸显了在研究性健康行为时不同性动机的重要性。
