The issue of whether hypersexual behaviours exist among university students is controversial because many of these individuals engage in sexual exploration during their time at university. To date, little is known about the correlates of hypersexual behaviours among university students in the UK. Therefore, the aims of this exploratory study were two-fold. Firstly, to explore and establish the correlates of hypersexual behaviours, and secondly, to investigate whether hypersexuality among university students can be predicted by variables relating to negative mood states (i.e., emotional dysregulation, loneliness, shame, and life satisfaction) and consequences of hypersexual behaviour.
Survey data from 165 British university students was analysed using regression analyses.
The full regression model significantly predicted hypersexual behaviours. However, only a small number of predictor variables (i.e., gender, consequences of hypersexual behaviours, life satisfaction and emotional dysregulation) accounted for the significant unique influence on hypersexual behaviours among the sample.
The study empirically supported the concept of hypersexual disorder. The implications of these findings are also discussed.
大学生中是否存在性亢进行为这一问题存在争议,因为许多大学生在大学期间会进行性探索。迄今为止,对于英国大学生性亢进行为的相关因素知之甚少。因此,这项探索性研究有两个目的。其一,探索并确定性亢进行为的相关因素;其二,调查与负面情绪状态(即情绪失调、孤独感、羞耻感和生活满意度)以及性亢进行为后果相关的变量是否能够预测大学生的性亢进。
使用回归分析对165名英国大学生的调查数据进行了分析。
完整的回归模型显著预测了性亢进行为。然而,在样本中,只有少数预测变量(即性别、性亢进行为的后果、生活满意度和情绪失调)对性亢进行为产生了显著的独特影响。
该研究从实证角度支持了性亢进障碍的概念。同时也讨论了这些发现的意义。
