Abstract

Abstract Previous studies suggest that religious people are more likely than nonreligious people to perceive their pornography use as problematic. For our 6-month longitudinal study, we recruited a sample of adults from TurkPrime.com to examine whether the interaction of religiosity and pornography consumption prospectively predicts more depressive symptoms 6 months later and whether this effect was mediated via perceptions that their pornography use was problematic (measured 3 months postbaseline). We constructed and validated our own measure of self-perceived problematic pornography use that included two factors: excessive pornography use and compulsive pornography use. Contrary to our hypothesis, religiosity was not related to self-perceived problematic pornography use. For men, religiosity at baseline was associated with increased pornography use at 6 months. For both men and women, excessive pornography use at 3 months was associated with increased depression at 6 months. For men, depression at baseline was associated with self-perceived problematic pornography use at 3 months. For women, higher self-perceived problematic pornography use at 3 months predicted lower frequency of pornography use and higher depression at 6 months. Our findings are discussed in light of theories of depression, religious incongruence, and sexual scripts.

随着时间的推移,宗教虔诚、自我感知的有问题的色情使用和抑郁之间的关系是什么?
摘要先前的研究表明,信教的人比不信教的人更有可能认为他们的色情使用有问题。在我们为期6个月的纵向研究中,我们从TurkPrime.com招募了一个成年人样本,以检验宗教信仰和色情消费的相互作用是否前瞻性地预测了6个月后更多的抑郁症状,以及这种影响是否是通过认为他们的色情使用有问题来调节的(测量3 基线后数月)。我们构建并验证了我们自己对自我感知的问题色情使用的衡量标准,其中包括两个因素:过度使用色情和强迫性使用色情。与我们的假设相反,宗教信仰与自我感知的有问题的色情作品使用无关。对于男性来说,基线时的宗教信仰与6个月时色情使用的增加有关。对于男性和女性来说,3个月时过度使用色情制品与6个月时抑郁情绪增加有关。对于男性来说,基线时的抑郁与3个月时自我感觉有问题的色情制品使用有关。对于女性来说,3个月时自我感知有问题的色情制品使用率越高,预示着6个月时使用色情制品的频率越低,抑郁程度越高。我们的发现是根据抑郁症、宗教不协调和性脚本的理论进行讨论的。

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.
