A 2 order model (sexual behavior use) provided fit data, suggesting that these general correlated but independent factors. Sensation seeking had large direct effects on indirect 4 first-order factors individual indicators. Negative affect smaller, yet still significant, effects. Impulsivity anxiety were unrelated health domains.
