【摘要】我们检查了安全动机(即预防焦点)或快乐动机(即促进焦点)是否与接受性传播感染(STIs)测试的意图和对安全套使用的行为控制唯一相关,这超出了理论模型中已经确定的变量。我们对葡萄牙成年人进行了在线调查(N=836;Mage=22.27,SD=5.14)。总体而言,99.4% 的参与者至少了解八种性传播感染中的一种,但只有 25.2%的参与者在过去六个月接受了检测。更注重预防的参与者发生无套性行为的频率较低,而更注重宣传的参与者了解更多的性传播感染并接受了更多的性传播感染检测。此外,如果参与者过去接受过更多STIs检测,他们就会有更强的接受STIs检测的意愿,更关心STIs,认为更容易感染STIs,并且更注重宣传(而不是预防)。如果参与者不经常发生无安全套性行为并且更注重预防(而不是促进),他们对安全套的使用有更大的行为控制。这些发现表明,以晋升为重点的人更有可能考虑无安全套性行为的后果。相比之下,注重预防的人更有可能控制自己的性健康。【关键词】性传播感染;知识;动机;性方面的监管重点;性病检测;行为控制;安全套的使用
[Abstract] We examined if motives for security (i.e., prevention focus) or pleasure (i.e., promotion focus) were uniquely associated with intentions to get tested for STIs and behavioral control over condom use, over and above variables already identified in theoretical models. We conducted an online survey with Portuguese adults (N = 836; Mage = 22.27, SD = 5.14). Overall, 99.4% of the participants knew at least one of eight STIs, but only 25.2% got tested in the last six months. Participants more focused on prevention had condomless sex less frequently, whereas participants more focused on promotion knew more STIs and got tested for more STIs. Furthermore, participants had stronger intentions to get tested for STIs if they got tested for more STIs in the past, were more concerned about STIs, perceived greater susceptibility to STI acquisition, and were more focused on promotion (but not prevention). Participants had greater behavioral control over condom use if they had condomless sex less often and were more focused on prevention (but not promotion). These findings suggest that promotion-focused people are more likely to consider the consequences of having condomless sex. In contrast, prevention-focused people are more likely to take control of their sexual health.
