Research supports a high comorbidity between compulsive sexual behaviors (CSBs) and SUDs, which are both classified by increased impulsivity. Literature has also indicated that increased impulsivity and substance use are associated with aggression. However, no known research has examined the relationship between CSBs and aggression among a substance dependent population. The purpose of the current study was to examine this relationship. Participants included 349 male patients in treatment for SUDs. Results indicated that after controlling for alcohol and drug use and problems and age, CSBs were significantly associated with total aggression, aggressive attitudes, physical aggression, and verbal aggression. This is the first known study to examine this relationship, thus continued research is needed to extend and replicate these findings.
研究表明,强迫性性行为(CSBs)与物质使用障碍(SUDs)之间存在高度共病性,二者均因冲动性增加而被归类。文献还表明,冲动性增加和物质使用与攻击性有关。然而,尚无已知研究考察物质依赖人群中CSBs与攻击性之间的关系。本研究的目的是考察这种关系。参与者包括349名接受SUDs治疗的男性患者。结果表明,在控制了酒精和药物使用、问题及年龄后,CSBs与总体攻击性、攻击态度、身体攻击和言语攻击显著相关。这是已知第一项考察这种关系的研究,因此需要继续开展研究以扩展和重复这些发现。
