A. Bryan et al., Sexual self-control and male condom-use outcome beliefs: Predicting heterosexual men's condom-use intentions and behavior, J APPL SO P, 31(9), 2001, pp. 1911-1938
A model of condom-use intentions and behavior that we previously developed
for women was replicated and extended with heterosexual men (n = 203; M age
= 20.1 years). The general determinants of intentions to use condoms were
consistent for men and women. The predictors of general condom attitudes an
d condom-use self-efficacy differed across gender. Male condom-use outcome
beliefs and sexual self-control emerged as predictors of sexually experienc
ed men's condom attitudes and self-efficacy, respectively. In a 3-month fol
low-up, intentions and sexual self-control predicted condom-use behavior. T
hese findings have implications for specificity vs. generality in the corre
lates of common behaviors across groups, the study of gender differences in
condom use, and the development of intervention content targeted to specif
ic populations.
