    • Abstract:
      The Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model suggests that the effect of variables such as knowledge and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS and vulnerability are influenced by self-efficacy in condom use. This current study tests this hypothesis with a sample of adolescents in Colombia. The participants were 599 Colombian adolescents sexually active, from Secondary Education. The 65.94% of the sample were males. The average age was 15.58 years (TD=1.41). We used a factorial retrospective ex-post-facto design. The instruments used were HIV/AIDS-65 Questionnaire, the Spanish abbreviated adaptation of Bem Sexual Roles Inventory (BSRI) and the Spanish adaptation of the Sexual Opinion Survey (SOS). The results obtained shows that the variables related to information and motivation have a direct effect on condom use, which is not influenced by self-efficacy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Desde el modelo de la información-motivación-habilidades conductuales, se propone que el efecto de variables como el conocimiento y actitudes hacia el VIH/sida y la vulnerabilidad se ven mediados por la autoeficacia en el uso del preservativo. En este estudio se somete a prueba esta hipótesis con una muestra de adolescentes de Colombia. Los participantes fueron 599 adolescentes colombianos, sexualmente activos, de enseñanza secundaria. El 65.94% eran varones. La edad media fue de 15.58 años (DT = 1.41). Se trata de un estudio que utiliza un diseño ex-postfacto retrospectivo factorial. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: El Cuestionario VIH/SIDA-65; la adaptación española abreviada del Inventario de Roles Sexuales de Bem (BSRI) y la adaptación española del Cuestionario SOS (Sexual Opinion Survey). Los resultados indican que las variables referidas a los componentes información y motivación tienen un efecto directo sobre el uso del preservativo y, éste no se ve mediado por la autoeficacia.
