Recent research on pornography suggests that perception of addiction predicts negative outcomes above and beyond pornography use. Research has also suggested that religious individuals are more likely to perceive themselves to be addicted to pornography, regardless of how often they are actually using pornography. Using a sample of 686 unmarried adults, this study reconciles and expands on previous research by testing perceived addiction to pornography as a mediator between religiosity and relationship anxiety surrounding pornography. Results revealed that pornography use and religiosity were weakly associated with higher relationship anxiety surrounding pornography use, whereas perception of pornography addiction was highly associated with relationship anxiety surrounding pornography use. However, when perception of pornography addiction was inserted as a mediator in a structural equation model, pornography use had a small indirect effect on relationship anxiety surrounding pornography use, and perception of pornography addiction partially mediated the association between religiosity and relationship anxiety surrounding pornography use. By understanding how pornography use, religiosity, and perceived pornography addiction connect to relationship anxiety surrounding pornography use in the early relationship formation stages, we hope to improve the chances of couples successfully addressing the subject of pornography and mitigate difficulties in romantic relationships.
最近有关色情内容的研究表明,对成瘾的感知预测了负面结果,而不仅仅是色情内容的使用。研究还表明,宗教人士更有可能认为自己对色情内容上瘾,而不管他们实际上使用色情内容的频率如何。本研究使用了 686 名未婚成年人的样本,通过测试对色情内容成瘾的感知作为宗教信仰和色情内容使用相关关系焦虑之间的中介,调和并扩展了之前的研究。结果表明,色情内容的使用和宗教信仰与色情内容使用相关的关系焦虑呈弱相关,而对色情内容成瘾的感知与色情内容使用相关的关系焦虑呈高度相关。然而,当将对色情内容成瘾的感知作为中介插入结构方程模型时,色情内容的使用对色情内容使用相关的关系焦虑有较小的间接影响,而对色情内容成瘾的感知部分中介了宗教信仰和色情内容使用相关的关系焦虑之间的关联。通过了解色情内容的使用、宗教信仰和感知到的色情内容成瘾如何在早期关系形成阶段与色情内容使用相关的关系焦虑联系起来,我们希望提高伴侣成功解决色情内容问题的机会,并减轻浪漫关系中的困难。
