An increasing number of studies are concerned with various aspects of cybersex addiction, the difficulty some persons have in limiting cybersex use despite a negative impact on everyday life.
The aim of this study was to assess potential links between the outcome variable cybersex addiction, assessed with the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) adapted for cybersex use, and several psychological and psychopathological factors, including sexual desire, mood, attachment style, impulsivity, and self-esteem, by taking into account the age, sex, and sexual orientation of cybersex users.
A Web-based survey was conducted in which participants were assessed for sociodemographic variables and with the following instruments: CIUS adapted for cybersex use, Sexual Desire Inventory, and Short Depression-Happiness Scale. Moreover, attachment style was assessed with the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised questionnaire (Anxiety and Avoidance subscales). Impulsivity was measured by using the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency Impulsive Behavior Scale. Global self-esteem was assessed with the 1-item Self-Esteem Scale.
A sample of 145 subjects completed the study. Addictive cybersex use was associated with higher levels of sexual desire, depressive mood, avoidant attachment style, and male gender but not with impulsivity.
Addictive cybersex use is a function of sexual desire, depressive mood, and avoidant attachment.
越来越多的研究关注网络性成瘾的各个方面，即一些人尽管网络性活动对日常生活产生负面影响，但仍难以限制其使用。
本研究旨在通过考虑网络性活动使用者的年龄、性别和性取向，评估用适用于网络性活动的强迫性网络使用量表（CIUS）评估的结果变量网络性成瘾与几种心理和精神病理因素之间的潜在联系，这些因素包括性欲、情绪、依恋风格、冲动性和自尊。
进行了一项基于网络的调查，参与者接受社会人口统计学变量评估，并使用以下工具：适用于网络性活动的CIUS、性欲量表和简短抑郁 - 快乐量表。此外，使用亲密关系经历修订问卷（焦虑和回避分量表）评估依恋风格。通过使用冲动行为量表（包括冲动性、缺乏预谋、缺乏坚持、寻求刺激、积极冲动）测量冲动性。用单项自尊量表评估总体自尊。
145名受试者完成了研究。成瘾性网络性活动使用与较高水平的性欲、抑郁情绪、回避型依恋风格和男性性别相关，但与冲动性无关。
成瘾性网络性活动使用是性欲、抑郁情绪和回避型依恋的一种表现。
