Simpson & Gangestad's (1991) sociosexual orientation inventory measures people's willingness to engage in uncommitted sexual relations. People with unrestricted sociosexual orientations report more casual sex encounters, and multiple and concurrent sexual partners, factors known to increase the risk for exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This study investigated the relationship of sociosexuality to an 'impulsive' personality profile characterized by impulsivity in decision-making, general risk-taking tendencies, and greater responsiveness to situational cues. It was found that an unrestricted sociosexual orientation was associated with greater impulsivity in decision-making on Tellegen's (1982) multidimensional personality questionnaire (MPQ) Control subscale, greater risk-taking tendencies on Tellegen's (1982) MPQ Harm-Avoidance subscale, and a greater responsiveness to situational cues as measured on Snyder's (1974) self-monitoring scale. Although unrestricted individuals had more knowledge about safe sex behavioural practices, they were more likely to engage in unprotected sexual intercourse (i.e. no condom use). Implications for HIV risk reduction educational programs targeting this population are discussed.
辛普森和甘吉斯塔德（1991年）的社会性取向量表测量的是人们参与无承诺性关系的意愿。具有不受限制的社会性取向的人报告有更多随意的性接触以及多个和同时存在的性伴侣，这些因素已知会增加感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的风险。本研究调查了社会性取向与一种“冲动型”人格特征之间的关系，这种人格特征表现为决策时的冲动性、一般的冒险倾向以及对情境线索的更高反应性。研究发现，在泰勒根（1982年）的多维人格问卷（MPQ）控制分量表上，不受限制的社会性取向与决策时更大的冲动性相关；在泰勒根（1982年）的MPQ回避伤害分量表上，与更大的冒险倾向相关；在斯奈德（1974年）的自我监控量表上，与对情境线索的更高反应性相关。尽管不受限制的个体对安全性行为做法有更多了解，但他们更有可能进行无保护的性行为（即不使用避孕套）。本文讨论了针对这一人群的降低HIV风险教育项目的意义。
