This study aimed to investigate the moderating role of sexual attitudes in the association between online sexual activity (OSA) and problematic pornography use (PPU) in the Chinese context. Specifically, we examined whether incongruence stemming from attitudes (i.e., disapproval of nonmarital and casual sex but engaging in OSA) amplifies the perception of PPU.
We recruited two samples of Chinese men, one from the community ( = 525) and the other comprising help-seeking individuals ( = 578).
Sexual attitudes moderate the relationship between OSA and PPU in both samples, with the predictive influence of OSA on PPU weakening among individuals with a relatively permissive attitude (scored one above the mean of sexual attitudes), and strengthened among individuals with a relatively conservative attitude (scored one below the mean of sexual attitudes).
In the conservative sexual cultural context of China, a relatively conservative sexual attitude might strengthen the association between OSA and PPU.
本研究旨在探讨在中国背景下,性态度在网络性活动(OSA)与问题性色情使用(PPU)之间的关联中所起的调节作用。具体而言,我们考察了因态度不一致(即不赞成非婚性行为和随意性行为,但却参与OSA)而产生的不一致是否会加剧对PPU的认知。
我们招募了两组中国男性样本,一组来自社区(n = 525),另一组为寻求帮助的个体(n = 578)。
在两个样本中,性态度均调节了OSA与PPU之间的关系,在性态度相对宽容(得分比性态度均值高一个标准差)的个体中,OSA对PPU的预测影响减弱,而在性态度相对保守(得分比性态度均值低一个标准差)的个体中,这种影响增强。
在中国保守的性文化背景下,相对保守的性态度可能会加强OSA与PPU之间的关联。
