In a modified replication of an earlier study, cognitive capacity, cognitive egocentrism, experience (sexual/contraceptive behaviors and attitudes), and demographic factors were assessed as predictors of decision making in a contraceptive use paradigm. Additionally, these factors were assessed as predictors of risk-taking behavior--"sensible" use of contraceptives. Sixty sexually active, unmarried females, ages 14-18, served as subjects. Cognitive capacity and cognitive egocentrism variables as well as age, grade, and ethnic status significantly predicted six of the seven decision-making variables. One cognitive capacity variable and one sexual/contraceptive behavior variable significantly predicted "sensible" use of contraceptives. These results are compared to the earlier study and discussed within the context of relevant literature.
在一项对早期研究的改进性重复研究中，认知能力、认知自我中心主义、经历（性/避孕行为及态度）以及人口统计学因素被评估为避孕使用范式中决策制定的预测因素。此外，这些因素还被评估为冒险行为——“合理”使用避孕药具的预测因素。60名年龄在14至18岁之间、有性活动的未婚女性作为研究对象。认知能力和认知自我中心主义变量以及年龄、年级和种族状况显著预测了七个决策变量中的六个。一个认知能力变量和一个性/避孕行为变量显著预测了避孕药具的“合理”使用。这些结果与早期研究进行了比较，并在相关文献的背景下进行了讨论。
