Examines factors influencing condom use resistance in young men, suggesting implications for interventions.
= 416) completed a baseline survey in the lab that included measures of sex-related alcohol expectancies, followed by 32 daily online surveys assessing their alcohol use and sexual behavior, including measures of drinking motives, sex motives, and CUR. A total of 106 men (~25%) reported engaging in CUR over the 32-day period. Multilevel models using a negative binomial distribution identified between-person global alcohol expectancies for sexual risk and sexual disinhibition, between-person daily enhancement drinking motives, within-person daily power-related sex motives, and between-person daily coping sex motives as the most prominent correlates of CUR at the event-level. These findings support the use of interventions that help individuals modify their perceptions about the expected effects of alcohol on mood or behavior and that provide psychoeducational information to address maladaptive sex-related alcohol expectancies and drinking and sex motives in an effort to lower CUR engagement.
