Alcohol And Sexual Risk Behavior

The personalized feedback consists of four components: normative feedback, risk/protective feedback, decisional balance/goal setting, and protective strategy review. Personalized feedback targets include readiness to change, perceptions of risk, and misperceptions of peer attitudes/behaviors.

We will address three cognitive targets: focus on affective cues, focus on non-affective cues, and over-perception of sexual interest. The first module targets enhanced focus on women's affective cues and reduced over-perception of sexual interest. We will introduce the role of men's sexual-perception skills in satisfying social and sexual interactions with women, as well as problematic sexual behavior including RSB and SAB. Next, we will instruct participants that affective information is the best-available nonverbal information about how a woman is feeling about a specific man. This instruction will focus on distinguishing four primary dating relevant cues: sexual-interest, friendliness, sadness, and rejection. More detailed focus on each cue will emphasize the increased difficulty of reading these cues with a new partner and under the influence of alcohol and sexual arousal, as well as the importance of checking verbally on assumptions about a woman's current sexual interest.

These participants will receive services as usual
