Sexuality is presumptively and observably a powerful core element of the human pair-bond relationship. Technological advances of the last half-century have made media a dominant cultural and developmental presence, including scripting sexual relationship attitudes and behavior. Theoretically and empirically, we examine loneliness as it relates to pornography use in terms of pornography's relational scripting and its addictive potential. Empirically, we examine the associative nature between pornography use and loneliness using a measurement model and two structural equation models where pornography use and loneliness are regressed on each other, respectively. Survey data were collected from a sample of 1,247 participants, who completed an online questionnaire containing questions on pornography use, the University of California-Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (UCLALS), and other demographic variables. Results from our analyses revealed significant and positive associations between pornography use and loneliness for all three models. Findings provide grounds for possible future bidirectional, recursive modeling of the relation between pornography use and loneliness.
性行为被认为是人类伴侣关系中一个强有力的核心要素，并且可以观察到这一点。在过去的半个世纪中，技术的进步使媒体成为一种主导的文化和发展力量，包括编写有关性伴侣关系的态度和行为的脚本。从理论和经验上，我们研究了孤独感与色情制品使用之间的关系，涉及色情制品的关系脚本及其潜在的成瘾性。从经验上看，我们使用测量模型和两个结构方程模型来检验色情制品使用与孤独感之间的关联性质，在这两个模型中，分别将色情制品使用和孤独感回归到对方身上。调查数据是从 1247 名参与者的样本中收集的，他们完成了一份在线问卷，其中包含有关色情制品使用、加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表（UCLALS）和其他人口统计学变量的问题。我们的分析结果表明，所有三个模型中，色情制品使用与孤独感之间都存在显著的正相关关系。这些发现为未来可能对色情制品使用和孤独感之间的关系进行双向、递归建模提供了依据。
