Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) has been linked to psychopathology among adults. Only preliminary research has been conducted on adolescents. In our study, we examined whether CSB is linked to psychopathology among adolescents or whether it is a part of normal sexual development. We also, examined potential risk and resiliency factors that might influence this link.
The study population included 311 high school students (184 males and 127 females) aged 16-18 years who completed self-report measures regarding CSB, psychopathology, temperament, and attachment orientations.
Adolescents with clinical CSB had more severe psychopathologies than nonclinical ones (with moderate and low levels of CSB) and were unable to utilize resilience factors (i.e., low negative affectivity, high effortful control, and/or attachment security).
Low and moderate levels of CSB seem to be part of the normal development of sexuality among adolescents. Clinical CSB seems to be a deviation from this normal development.
强迫性行为（CSB）与成年人的精神病理学有关。仅对青少年进行了初步研究。在我们的研究中，我们研究了 CSB 是否与青少年的精神病理学有关，或者它是否是正常性发展的一部分。我们还研究了可能影响这种联系的潜在风险和适应因素。
研究人群包括 311 名 16-18 岁的高中生（184 名男性和 127 名女性），他们完成了关于 CSB、精神病理学、气质和依恋方向的自我报告量表。
有临床 CSB 的青少年比非临床 CSB 的青少年有更严重的精神病理学（中、低水平的 CSB），并且无法利用适应因素（即低负性情感、高努力控制和/或依恋安全性）。
低水平和中等水平的 CSB 似乎是青少年性发展的正常组成部分。临床 CSB 似乎偏离了这种正常发展。
