 AB    This article contains empirical tests of the
       information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model of AIDS-preventive
       behavior (J.D. Fisher & Fisher, 1992; W.A. Fisher & Fisher, 1993a),
       which has been designed to understand and predict the practice of
       AIDS-preventive acts. The IMB model holds that AIDS-preventive behavior
       is a function of individuals' information about AIDS prevention,
       motivation to engage in AIDS prevention, and behavioral skills for
       performing the specific acts involved in prevention. The model further
       assumes that AIDS-prevention information and motivation generally work
       through AIDS-prevention behavioral skills to influence the initiation
       and maintenance of AIDS-preventive behavior. Supportive tests of the
       model, using structural equation modeling techniques, are reported with
       populations of gay male affinity group members (n = 91) and heterosexual
       university students (n = 174).
