Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, we hypothesized that community support may associated with coping styles of individuals (N = 163) seeking help for their compulsive sexual behaviors from a community seeking treatment called Sexaholic Anonymous (SA) program. We also assume that gender may play a role in the choice of coping strategies by the Iranian sample SA. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyze data. We found a significant association between coping styles and elements of community support of program for SA. Those who received community support including regular phone calls to other members and attending meetings regularly utilized task-oriented (p < 0.001) and avoidance-oriented coping styles (p < 0.001) more than emotion-oriented styles (p < 0.001). Sponsors utilized task-oriented coping styles (p < 0.001) more than emotion-oriented (p < 0.001) or avoidance-oriented coping styles (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that community support may have associated with precipitating or perpetuating one’s stress management using variety of copying styles.

伊朗性瘾匿名十二步计划成员的压力应对方式与社区支持的关系

摘要在本研究中，我们假设社区支持可能与个体的应对方式有关（N = 163）为他们的强迫性行为向一个名为“匿名性行为狂”（SA）项目的寻求治疗的社区寻求帮助。我们还假设性别可能在伊朗样本SA的应对策略选择中发挥作用。使用多变量方差分析来分析数据。我们发现应对方式与SA项目的社区支持因素之间存在显著关联。那些接受社区支持的人，包括定期给其他成员打电话和定期参加会议，都使用了任务导向（p < 0.001）和回避型应对方式（p < 0.001）多于以情绪为导向的风格（p < 0.001）。发起人采用了以任务为导向的应对方式（p < 0.001）高于情绪导向（p < 0.001）或回避型应对方式（p < 0.05）。这些发现表明，社区支持可能与使用各种复制风格来促进或维持一个人的压力管理有关。
