Popis: The current study examined how relational factors (i.e., communication, trust, relationship satisfaction, and commitment) link to sexual health outcomes (i.e., condom use, knowledge about a partner's sexual history, and condom use self-efficacy) among female college students in exclusive heterosexual dating relationships (n = 89). The hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that female college students in exclusive dating relationships who reported greater dyadic trust were more likely to report consistently using condoms and asking partners about their sexual history. Findings suggest the need for sexual education curricula that utilize dimensions of dyadic trust to address safe sex practices among female college students. More detailed recommendations are also discussed.
