Dating violence victimization (DVV) is a prevalent public health problem with harmful consequences among adolescents. Pornography use has been identified among the factors associated with DVV. However, most studies have relied on cross-sectional designs, limiting the ability to determine temporal relationships between these variables. The present study assessed bidirectional longitudinal associations between pornography use and DVV (psychological, physical, and sexual), also examining cross-sectional associations and gender differences. Participants' self-report data from two assessments of a longitudinal study were used. The sample consisted of 1,556 teenagers ( = 14.55 years, = .630; 51.5% were girls) having reported an intimate relationship in the past year at the first and/or second time point (T1/T2). Whereas some cross-sectional associations between pornography use and DVV were observed at T1, results from the autoregressive cross-lagged model revealed no significant longitudinal association between pornography use and the three forms of DVV, regardless of gender. Thus, pornography use may not represent a significant risk factor over time for DVV in adolescents. These findings provide additional insights concerning the associations between pornography use and DVV and suggest that emphasis should perhaps be placed on other variables in the study of risk factors for DVV. Still, although modest, transversal links support the importance of interventions that promote healthy intimate relationships in adolescence and education about pornography use.
约会暴力受害(DVV)是一个普遍存在的公共卫生问题,对青少年会产生有害后果。使用色情制品已被确定为与约会暴力受害相关的因素之一。然而,大多数研究依赖横断面设计,限制了确定这些变量之间时间关系的能力。本研究评估了使用色情制品与约会暴力受害(心理、身体和性方面)之间的双向纵向关联,还考察了横断面关联和性别差异。使用了一项纵向研究两次评估中参与者的自我报告数据。样本包括1556名青少年(平均年龄=14.55岁,标准差=0.630;51.5%为女孩),他们在第一个和/或第二个时间点(T1/T2)报告在过去一年中有过亲密关系。虽然在T1观察到了使用色情制品与约会暴力受害之间的一些横断面关联,但自回归交叉滞后模型的结果显示,无论性别如何,使用色情制品与三种形式的约会暴力受害之间均无显著的纵向关联。因此,随着时间的推移,使用色情制品可能并不是青少年约会暴力受害的一个重要风险因素。这些发现为使用色情制品与约会暴力受害之间的关联提供了更多见解,并表明在研究约会暴力受害的风险因素时,或许应将重点放在其他变量上。尽管如此,虽然关联程度不大,但横向联系支持了促进青少年健康亲密关系的干预措施以及关于使用色情制品教育的重要性。
