This two-study research was designed to define and predict profiles of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) among non-clinical population of adolescents, and aimed to fill gaps in the current research.
In Study 1 (N = 1,182), we examined the profiles of CSB among adolescents using latent profile analysis. Results revealed the following three clusters: abstainers, sexual fantasizers, and individuals with CSB. In Study 2 (N = 618), we replicated this classification and examined differences between the clusters in Big Five personality traits, locus of control, attachment orientations, loneliness, age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), residence quality, use of pornography, and sex-related online activities.
Adolescents classified into different clusters significantly differed in personality traits, loneliness, age, SES, use of pornography, and sex-related online activities. Specifically, individuals with CSB had external locus of control, anxious attachment, greater loneliness, higher frequency of pornography use, and more sex-related online activities than the other groups.
The current research expands the knowledge about CSB by providing a more individualized approach to understanding CSB among adolescence.
本项两研究旨在为非临床青少年群体定义和预测强迫性性行为(CSB)的特征,并旨在填补当前研究的空白。
在研究 1(N=1182)中,我们使用潜在剖面分析来研究青少年 CSB 的特征。结果揭示了以下三个群体:禁欲者、性幻想者和 CSB 个体。在研究 2(N=618)中,我们复制了这一分类,并研究了群体间在五大人格特质、控制源、依恋取向、孤独感、年龄、性别、社会经济地位(SES)、居住质量、色情制品使用和性相关在线活动方面的差异。
被归入不同群体的青少年在人格特质、孤独感、年龄、SES、色情制品使用和性相关在线活动方面存在显著差异。具体而言,CSB 个体具有外部控制源、焦虑型依恋、更高的孤独感、更高频的色情制品使用以及更多的性相关在线活动,而这些都明显高于其他群体。
本研究通过提供更个性化的方法来理解青少年 CSB,扩展了对 CSB 的认识。
