Compulsive sexual behavior is characterized by extensive sexual behavior and unsuccessful efforts to control excessive sexual behavior. The aim of the studies was to investigate compulsivity, anxiety and depression and impulsivity and problematic online sexual activities among adult males and females who use the Internet for finding sexual partners and using online pornography.
Study 1- 177 participants including 143 women M = 32.79 years (SD = 9.52), and 32 men M = 30.18 years (SD = 10.79). The Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST), the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Spielberger Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T STAI-S) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Study 2- 139 participants including 98 women M = 24 years (SD = 5) and 41 men M = 25 years (SD = 4). The impulsivity questionnaire (BIS/BAS), Problematic online sexual activities (s-IAT-sex) and Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST).
Study 1- Multiple regression analysis has indicated that a model which included BDI, Y-BOCS, and STAI scores contributed to the variance of sexual addiction rates, and explained 33.3% of the variance. Study 2- Multiple regression analysis indicated that BIS/BAS and s-IAT scores contributed to the variance of sexual addiction rates, and explained 33% of the variance.
Obsessive-compulsive symptoms contributed to sexual addiction among individuals who use the Internet for finding sexual partners. Impulsivity and problematic online sexual activity contributed to ratings of sex addiction. These studies support the argument that sex addiction lies on the impulsive-compulsive scale and could be classified as a behavioral addiction.
强迫性行为的特征是性行为过度且难以成功控制过度性行为。这些研究的目的是调查在通过互联网寻找性伴侣和使用网络色情内容的成年男性和女性中,强迫性、焦虑、抑郁、冲动性以及有问题的网络性活动情况。
研究1——177名参与者,包括143名女性(平均年龄M = 32.79岁,标准差SD = 9.52)和32名男性(平均年龄M = 30.18岁,标准差SD = 10.79)。采用性成瘾筛查测试(SAST)、耶鲁-布朗强迫症状量表(Y-BOCS)、斯皮尔伯格特质-状态焦虑量表(STAI-T、STAI-S)和贝克抑郁量表(BDI)。研究2——139名参与者,包括98名女性(平均年龄M = 24岁,标准差SD = 5)和41名男性(平均年龄M = 25岁,标准差SD = 4)。采用冲动性问卷(BIS/BAS)、有问题的网络性活动(s-IAT-sex)和性成瘾筛查测试(SAST)。
研究1——多元回归分析表明,包含BDI、Y-BOCS和STAI分数的模型对性成瘾率的方差有贡献,并解释了33.3%的方差。研究2——多元回归分析表明,BIS/BAS和s-IAT分数对性成瘾率的方差有贡献,并解释了33%的方差。
强迫症状在通过互联网寻找性伴侣的个体的性成瘾中起作用。冲动性和有问题的网络性活动对性成瘾评分有影响。这些研究支持了性成瘾处于冲动-强迫范围内且可被归类为行为成瘾的观点。
