Self-esteem appears in the literature as a variable that influences the practice of risky sexual behaviors. It is often assumed that higher levels of self-esteem are associated with safer sexual behaviors, especially those that prevent the spread of HIV. The research literature was reviewed to examine the relationship between self-esteem and the practice of safer sexual behaviors. Research indicates that higher levels of self-esteem are found in adolescents who practice risky sexual behaviors and have more sexual partners. Research and clinical implications are discussed.
自尊在文献中表现为一个影响危险性行为的变量。人们通常认为，较高的自尊水平与更安全性行为相关，尤其是那些能预防艾滋病毒传播的行为。对研究文献进行了综述，以考察自尊与更安全性行为实践之间的关系。研究表明，从事危险性行为且有更多性伴侣的青少年具有较高的自尊水平。文中还讨论了研究及临床意义。
