An exploratory study examined variables characterized as predisposing to the practice of safe sexual behaviors. A sample of 227 male subjects from a state-supported university in southeastern New England returned questionnaires anonymously that contained demographic questions and instruments to measure the study variables. After removing two variables for low internal consistency reliabilities, the remaining five were entered simultaneously into a multiple regression equation. The variables captured 21% of the variance. The direction and magnitude of the statistically significant standardized beta weights are as follows: attitude toward condoms, .41; internal health locus of control, .22; and self-esteem, -.16. These attitudes and characteristics can be incorporated into interventions to reduce sexual exposure to HIV.
一项探索性研究考察了那些被认为是安全性行为实践的前置变量。来自新英格兰东南部一所州立大学的227名男性受试者样本匿名返回了包含人口统计学问题以及用于测量研究变量的工具的问卷。在去除两个内部一致性信度较低的变量后,将其余五个变量同时纳入多元回归方程。这些变量解释了21%的方差变异。具有统计学显著性的标准化贝塔权重的方向和大小如下:对避孕套的态度为0.41;内控性健康源为0.22;自尊为-0.16。这些态度和特征可纳入干预措施,以减少HIV的性暴露。
