Guided by the cognitive
mediation model of sexual decision making (Norris, Masters, & Zawacki,
2004. Cognitive mediation of women's sexual decision making: The influence of
alcohol, contextual factors, and background variables. Annual Review of Sex Research, 15, 258-296), we examined female social drinkers' (N = 162)
in-the-moment risky sexual decision making by testing how individual
differences (relationship motivation) and situational factors (alcohol
consumption and sexual precedence conditions) influenced cognitive appraisals
and sexual outcomes in a hypothetical sexual scenario.
In a path model, acute intoxication,
sexual precedence, and relationship motivation interactively predicted primary
relationship appraisals and independently predicted primary sex appraisals.
Primary appraisals predicted secondary appraisals related to relationship and
unprotected sex, which predicted unprotected sex intentions. Sexual precedence
directly increased unprotected sex intentions.
Findings support the cognitive
mediation model and suggest that sexual risk reduction interventions should
address alcohol, relationship, sexual, and cognitive factors.
