Abstract

Abstract This study extended prior findings by examining how Big-5 personality traits are related to four dimensions of problematic pornography viewing: functional problems, excessive use, control difficulties, and avoidance of negative emotions. Participants (n = 569 women and n = 253 men) responded to an online survey. Structural equation modeling indicated that for men, neuroticism was a positive correlate with all dimensions of problematic pornography viewing, extraversion positively correlated with functional problems, excessive use, and control difficulties; and openness-to-experience negatively correlated with functional problems. For women, neuroticism positively correlated with avoidance of negative emotions; openness-to-experience positively correlated with excessive use and use to avoid negative emotions; and conscientiousness negatively correlated with control difficulties. A series of significant interactions across personality dimensions were also observed. Connections to other studies and areas for future research are discussed.

从大五人格视角看问题色情

摘要本研究扩展了先前的研究结果，探讨了大五人格特征与问题色情观看的四个维度(功能问题、过度使用、控制困难和回避负面情绪)之间的关系。参与者(569名女性和253名男性)回答了一项在线调查。结构方程模型显示，男性神经质与问题色情观看的各维度正相关，外向性与功能问题、过度使用和控制困难正相关;开放体验与功能问题呈负相关。女性的神经质与回避负面情绪呈正相关;体验开放性与过度使用和使用以避免负面情绪正相关;责任心与控制困难呈负相关。我们还观察到一系列跨人格维度的重要互动。讨论了与其他研究的联系和未来研究的领域。

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.
