The relationships among pornography use, sexist ideology and false or stereotypical ideas about rape are controversial. This study specifically examines the associations of problematic pornography use (PPU) with sexism and rape myth acceptance among both male and female participants within the Italian context utilizing a cross-sectional methodology. Based on data from 815 participants collected through an online questionnaire, the study identifies significant gender-based differences, with men typically exhibiting higher scores on sexism, rape myth acceptance, and token resistance beliefs. Correlation analysis revealed that in men, there was a positive relationship between pornography cravings and sexist beliefs but not between pornography cravings and minimizing rape or accusations of lying (rape myth). Women showed significant positive correlations across all problematic pornography use dimensions with sexist ideology, although the relationship with rape myth acceptance varied. These findings underscore the critical need for acknowledging these relationships to enhance strategies for preventing gender-based violence.
色情内容使用、性别歧视意识形态以及对强奸的错误或刻板观念之间的关系存在争议。本研究采用横断面研究方法，专门考察了意大利背景下男性和女性参与者中问题性色情内容使用（PPU）与性别歧视和强奸谬见接受度之间的关联。基于通过在线问卷收集的815名参与者的数据，该研究发现了显著的性别差异，男性在性别歧视、强奸谬见接受度和象征性抵抗信念方面的得分通常更高。相关分析表明，在男性中，对色情内容的渴望与性别歧视信念之间存在正相关，但与淡化强奸或说谎指控（强奸谬见）之间不存在正相关。女性在所有问题性色情内容使用维度上与性别歧视意识形态均呈现出显著的正相关，尽管与强奸谬见接受度的关系有所不同。这些发现强调了认识到这些关系对于加强预防性别暴力策略的迫切需求。
