Abstract

Abstract Dysregulated sexuality refers to sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are perceived as out of control and distressing. This study aimed to explore the relationships between desire thinking and metacognition about desire thinking in relation to dysregulated sexuality and craving. Approximately 1,042 participants completed a battery of self-report questionnaires. The results suggest that increased desire thinking and metacognition around desire thinking are significantly associated with dysregulated sexuality. Furthermore, the verbal perseveration aspect of desire thinking significantly predicted dysregulated sexuality after controlling for trait sexual desire. These findings support both the model of desire thinking and craving and the tri-phasic metacognitive model of addictive behavior. Despite study limitations, there is a need for further research in this area.
与性失调相关的欲望思维和元认知
性失调是指被认为是失控和痛苦的性思想、情感和行为。本研究旨在探讨欲望思维与性欲失调和渴望相关的欲望思维元认知之间的关系。大约1042名参与者完成了一系列自我报告问卷。结果表明,欲望思维和围绕欲望思维的元认知的增加与性失调显著相关。此外,在控制了特质性欲望后,欲望思维的言语持续性方面显著预测了性失调。这些发现既支持欲望思维和渴望模型,也支持成瘾行为的三相元认知模型。尽管研究有局限性,但仍需要进一步的研究。

期刊介绍: Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
