 AB    Three psychological variables--self-efficacy, control and meaning, and
       perceived risk--were tested in a structural model predicting
       AIDS-preventive behavior. Results revealed a good model fit, indicating
       that these psychological variables did play a role in mediating
       AIDS-preventive behavior in college students. A multivariate analysis of
       variance and individual analyses of variance conducted for men and women
       also revealed gender differences on individual items of self-efficacy,
       perceived risk, and AIDS-preventive behavior. This study underscores the
       importance of identifying and assessing the psychological determinants
       of AIDS-preventive behavior.
