The relationship between trait-affect, depressed mood, and sexual functioning has been studied; however, the nature of that relation is not yet well established.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediator role that depressed mood plays in the relation between trait-affect and sexual functioning in men.
A total of 205 men from the general population participated in the study and completed self-reported measures assessing trait-affect, depressed mood, and sexual functioning.
Trait-affect was measured by the Positive Affect-Negative Affect Scale-Expanded Version, depressed mood was assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory, and male sexual function was measured by the International Index of Erectile Function.
Regression analysis showed that negative trait-affect and depressed mood were significant predictors of sexual functioning. Moreover, mediation analyses indicated that depressed mood partially mediate the relationship between negative trait-affect and sexual functioning in men.
Findings support the role of negative trait-affect and depressed mood on male sexual functioning.
特质情绪、抑郁情绪与性功能之间的关系已得到研究;然而,其关系的本质尚不清楚。
本研究旨在调查抑郁情绪在男性特质情绪与性功能之间的关系中所起的中介作用。
共有 205 名来自普通人群的男性参与了这项研究,并完成了评估特质情绪、抑郁情绪和性功能的自我报告量表。
特质情绪采用正性负性情绪量表扩展版进行测量,抑郁情绪采用贝克抑郁量表进行评估,男性性功能采用国际勃起功能指数进行测量。
回归分析显示,负性特质情绪和抑郁情绪是性功能的显著预测因子。此外,中介分析表明,抑郁情绪部分中介了男性负性特质情绪与性功能之间的关系。
研究结果支持负性特质情绪和抑郁情绪对男性性功能的影响。
