Background:

Research on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention requires understanding sexual partner preferences.
Existing assessment methods may not fully capture the nuances of partner valuation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a multiple-stimulus-without-replacement (MSWO) assessment for evaluating potential sexual partners.
To assess the consistency between MSWO-derived preferences and hypothetical purchase decisions.

Main Methods:

College students (N=41) completed an MSWO assessment to rank potential sexual partners.
Participants then engaged in a hypothetical purchase task involving high, median, and low preference partners identified by the MSWO.

Main Results:

Hypothetical purchase task valuations generally mirrored MSWO-derived preferences, with highest value for high-preference partners.
Significant individual differences emerged: some participants differentiated all three preference levels, while others grouped high/median or low/median preferences.

Conclusions:

The MSWO assessment demonstrates validity in reflecting partner valuation in a hypothetical context.
Individual variability in partner preference assessment highlights the complexity of sexual decision-making relevant to HIV research.
