Affect regulation is associated with compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) despite ongoing debate about its inclusion in diagnostic criteria. Previous studies on two specific affect regulation constructs - boredom proneness and attachment styles - suggest that affect regulation is associated with CSB. We tested a moderation model of the effects of attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance on the relationship between boredom proneness and CSB. Results indicate that the relationship between boredom proneness and CSB is stronger at higher levels of attachment anxiety, with no interaction between boredom proneness and attachment avoidance. Overall findings support the importance of affect regulation in conceptualizing and treating CSB.
尽管对于情感调节是否应纳入强迫性性行为(CSB)的诊断标准仍存在争议,但情感调节与强迫性性行为有关。先前关于两种特定情感调节结构——无聊倾向和依恋风格——的研究表明,情感调节与强迫性性行为有关。我们测试了依恋焦虑和依恋回避对无聊倾向与强迫性性行为之间关系影响的调节模型。结果表明,在依恋焦虑水平较高时,无聊倾向与强迫性性行为之间的关系更强,无聊倾向与依恋回避之间没有交互作用。总体研究结果支持了情感调节在概念化和治疗强迫性性行为中的重要性。
