The explosive growth in access to the Internet has led to a commensurate increase in the availability, anonymity, and affordability of pornography. An emerging body of research has shown associations between pornography and certain behaviors and attitudes; yet, how pornography actually influences these outcomes has not been documented. In two studies (Study 1 N = 969; Study 2 N = 992) we examined the hypothesis that pornography influences potentially risky sexual behavior (hooking up) among emerging adults via sexual scripts. Our results demonstrate that more frequent viewing of pornography is associated with a higher incidence of hooking up and a higher number of unique hook up partners. We replicated these effects both cross-sectionally and longitudinally while accounting for the stability of hook ups over the course of an academic semester. We also demonstrated that more frequent viewing of pornography is associated with having had more previous sexual partners of all types, more one occasion sexual partners ("one night stands"), and plans to have a higher number of sexual partners in the future. Finally, we provided evidence that more permissive sexual scripts mediated the association between more frequent pornography viewing and hooking up. We discuss these findings with an eye toward mitigating potential personal and public health risks among emerging adults.
互联网接入的爆炸式增长导致色情内容的可获取性、匿名性和可承受性相应增加。一项新兴的研究表明色情内容与某些行为和态度之间存在关联；然而，色情内容实际上如何影响这些结果尚未有文献记载。在两项研究中（研究1：N = 969；研究2：N = 992），我们检验了这样一个假设，即色情内容通过性脚本影响青少年的潜在危险性行为（随意性行为）。我们的结果表明，更频繁地观看色情内容与更高的随意性行为发生率以及更多的不同随意性伴侣数量相关。我们在横断面和纵向上都重复了这些效应，同时考虑了一个学术学期内随意性行为的稳定性。我们还表明，更频繁地观看色情内容与拥有更多各类过往性伴侣、更多一次性性伴侣（“一夜情”）以及未来计划拥有更多性伴侣相关。最后，我们提供证据表明，更宽松的性脚本介导了更频繁观看色情内容与随意性行为之间的关联。我们讨论这些发现，着眼于减轻青少年潜在的个人和公共健康风险。
