Abstract

ABSTRACT There is no consensus regarding the diagnostic criteria of cybersex addiction. Some approaches postulate similarities to substance dependencies, for which associative learning is a crucial mechanism. In this study, 86 heterosexual males completed a Standard Pavlovian to Instrumental Transfer Task modified with pornographic pictures to investigate associative learning in cybersex addiction. Additionally, subjective craving due to watching pornographic pictures and tendencies towards cybersex addiction were assessed. Results showed an effect of subjective craving on tendencies towards cybersex addiction, moderated by associative learning. Thus, these findings indicate that such interactions might be crucial for the development of cybersex addiction.

对色情作品的主观渴望和联想学习对网络性成瘾的预测

关于网络性成瘾的诊断标准尚无共识。一些方法假设与物质依赖相似，联想学习是其中的一个关键机制。在这项研究中，86名异性恋男性完成了一个用色情图片修改的标准巴甫洛夫到工具转移任务，以调查网络性成瘾的联想学习。此外，还评估了因观看色情图片而产生的主观渴望和网络性成瘾倾向。结果表明，主观渴望对网络性成瘾倾向的影响受到联想学习的调节。因此，这些发现表明，这种相互作用可能对网络性成瘾的发展至关重要。
