AB An exploratory study examined variables characterized as predisposing to
the practice of safe sexual behaviors. A sample of 227 male subjects
from a state-supported university in southeastern New England returned
questionnaires anonymously that contained demographic questions and
instruments to measure the study variables. After removing two variables
for low internal consistency reliabilities, the remaining five were
entered simultaneously into a multiple regression equation. The
variables captured 21% of the variance. The direction and magnitude of
the statistically significant standardized beta weights are as follows:
attitude toward condoms, .41; internal health locus of control, .22; and
self-esteem, -.16. These attitudes and characteristics can be
incorporated into interventions to reduce sexual exposure to HIV.
