Abstract

Abstract This study examined how scrupulosity, depression, anxiety, stress, and neuroticism may statistically predict problematic pornography viewing dimensions. Participants (n = 507 women and n = 250 men) responded to an online survey. Structural equation modeling indicated scrupulosity as a significant positive predictor across all problematic pornography viewing dimensions across genders. Depression was also a significant positive predictor, but only for those who use pornography to escape negative emotions, and for women with functional problems related to pornography use. The relationship between scrupulosity and functional pornography problems was significantly stronger for men. Interaction analyses suggested that low scrupulosity may buffer the relationship between mental health concerns and problematic pornography viewing in men, while high scrupulosity may exacerbate the relationship between anxiety and excessive pornography use in women. The full model accounted for 14 – 34% of the variance of various dimensions of problematic pornography viewing. Clinical implications and areas of further research are discussed.

有问题的色情观看与抑郁、焦虑和压力之间的关系背后是谨慎吗?

摘要:本研究探讨了严谨、抑郁、焦虑、压力和神经质如何在统计上预测有问题的色情观看维度。参与者(507名女性和250名男性)回答了一项在线调查。结构方程模型表明，在所有有问题的色情观看维度中，审慎性是一个显著的正向预测因子。抑郁也是一个显著的积极预测因素，但仅适用于那些使用色情作品来逃避负面情绪的人，以及与色情作品使用有关的功能问题的女性。对于男性来说，谨小慎微和功能性色情问题之间的关系更为明显。相互作用分析表明，低谨慎度可能缓冲男性心理健康问题与有问题的色情观看之间的关系，而高谨慎度可能加剧女性焦虑与过度色情观看之间的关系。完整的模型解释了有问题的色情观看的各个维度的14 - 34%的差异。讨论了临床意义和进一步研究的领域。

期刊介绍： Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
