This study had three goals: first, to investigate whether sexually explicit Internet material (SEIM) affects sexual risk behavior; second, to study whether these effects differ between adolescents and adults; and third, to analyze, separately for adolescents and adults, whether gender and age moderate an influence of SEIM on sexual risk behavior. The authors conducted a 2-wave panel survey among nationally representative random samples of 1,445 Dutch adolescents and 833 Dutch adults. SEIM use increased sexual risk behavior among adults, but not among adolescents. More specifically, moderator analyses showed that SEIM use increased sexual risk behavior only among male adults, but not among female adults. In the adolescent sample, no moderating gender effect occurred. Neither among adolescents nor among adults did age moderate the effects. Our study shows that SEIM may influence outcomes related to people's sexual health. It also suggests that male adults may present a potential risk group for adverse effects of SEIM.
首先,调查是否存在包含性内容的互联网材料(SEIM)会影响性风险行为;其次,研究这些影响在青少年和成年人之间是否存在差异;最后,分别对青少年和成年人进行分析,以确定 SEIM 对性风险行为的影响是否会受到性别和年龄的调节。作者对荷兰全国范围内具有代表性的随机抽取的 1445 名青少年和 833 名成年人进行了两波面板调查。SEIM 的使用增加了成年人的性风险行为,但对青少年没有影响。更具体地说,调节分析表明,SEIM 的使用仅增加了男性成年人的性风险行为,而对女性成年人则没有影响。在青少年样本中,没有出现性别调节效应。在青少年和成年人中,年龄都没有调节作用。我们的研究表明,SEIM 可能会影响与人们的性健康相关的结果。它还表明,男性成年人可能是 SEIM 产生不良影响的潜在风险群体。
