Communication scientists have published pornography research in the communication discipline's central journals for decades. Health communication scholars have become particularly interested in pornography in recent years, given increasing evidence of its likely impact on critical sexual health outcomes. An important resource for scholarship on pornography use is the General Social Survey (GSS). The first major article on pornography use and potential effects using the GSS was published only a decade ago and in a sexological journal, however. The present study provides a replication of this original article within the context of a GSS methodological experiment designed to provide pornography scholars with the first opportunity in 50 years to test a potential new pornography use measure. Results are interpreted in terms of their implications for the GSS, the pornography literature in general, and multiple theories of media use, processes, and effects.
几十年来，传播科学家一直在传播学领域的核心期刊上发表关于色情内容的研究。鉴于越来越多的证据表明色情内容可能对重要的性健康结果产生影响，近年来健康传播学者对色情内容尤其感兴趣。关于色情内容使用的学术研究的一个重要资源是综合社会调查（GSS）。然而，第一篇使用GSS研究色情内容使用及其潜在影响的重要文章直到十年前才发表在一本性学杂志上。本研究在GSS方法实验的背景下对这篇原始文章进行了复制，该实验旨在为色情内容研究学者提供50年来首次测试一种潜在的新的色情内容使用测量方法的机会。研究结果将从其对GSS、一般色情内容文献以及多种媒体使用、过程和效果理论的影响方面进行解读。
