Abstract
We extended Regulatory Focus Theory to sexual behavior. In Study 1 we developed the Regulatory Focus in Sexuality (RFS) scale. In Study 2 we showed that individuals with a predominant focus on prevention (vs. promotion) reported greater intention to use condoms, because they more aware of potential threats to health.
