The Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction is employed to assess how, through shaping people’s attitudes, perceived norms, and self-efficacy, acculturation affects the intent to use a condom with casual sex partners among US-dwelling Chinese/Taiwanese men who have sex with men. Results suggest that only acculturation to both American and Chinese cultures leads to a more favorable attitude toward using a condom, which eventually determines the intent to do so. The study contributes to the literature on acculturation and safe sex practice and provides theoretical and practical implications for public health researchers and practitioners.
