The present research study examined one-night stand behavior of late adolescents in Bangkok with the purposes to identify reasons for their one-night stand behavior and to compare the self-esteem scores and AIDS knowledge scores of adolescents with and without this behavior. Participants were 20 late adolescent males and 20 late adolescent females. Data were collected through in-dept interviews which were content analyzed into 3 domains of reasons for such behavior in each gender group: 1) intrapersonal domain, 2) interpersonal domain, and 3) environmental domain. t-tests were conducted to compare the self-esteem scores and AIDS knowledge scores of late adolescents with one-night stand behavior and those without such behavior. Findings were as follows: 1) Late adolescents with and without one-night stand behavior were not different in their self-esteem scores. 2) Late adolescents with and without one-night stand behavior were not different in their AIDS knowledge scores. 3) The main reasons for one-night stand behavior reported by the majority of late-adolescent males were in the interpersonal domain (60%); for instance, the attractiveness of their partner. In contrast, the main reasons for one-night stand behavior reported by the majority of late-adolescent females were in the intrapersonal domain (60%); for instance, their pride in their sexual attractiveness. 4) Reasons that appeared to be related to one-night stand behavior of late adolescents of both genders were: their positive values and attitude toward such behavior, their lack in familial communication, their having past sexual experiences, their attraction toward their one-night stand partners, their witnessing social modeling of such behavior, their following their peer norm in such behavior, their being separated from their families to live alone or with their friends, and their alcohol consumption.
