Abstract Previous studies suggest that religious people are more likely than nonreligious people to perceive their pornography use as problematic. For our 6-month longitudinal study, we recruited a sample of adults from TurkPrime.com to examine whether the interaction of religiosity and pornography consumption prospectively predicts more depressive symptoms 6 months later and whether this effect was mediated via perceptions that their pornography use was problematic (measured 3 months postbaseline). We constructed and validated our own measure of self-perceived problematic pornography use that included two factors: excessive pornography use and compulsive pornography use. Contrary to our hypothesis, religiosity was not related to self-perceived problematic pornography use. For men, religiosity at baseline was associated with increased pornography use at 6 months. For both men and women, excessive pornography use at 3 months was associated with increased depression at 6 months. For men, depression at baseline was associated with self-perceived problematic pornography use at 3 months. For women, higher self-perceived problematic pornography use at 3 months predicted lower frequency of pornography use and higher depression at 6 months. Our findings are discussed in light of theories of depression, religious incongruence, and sexual scripts.

宗教信仰，自觉的有问题的色情内容使用和长期抑郁之间有什么关系？

摘要先前的研究表明，与非宗教人士相比，宗教人士更倾向于认为自己的色情内容存在问题。在我们为期6个月的纵向研究中，我们从TurkPrime.com招募了一个成年人样本，以检查宗教信仰和色情消费的相互作用是否可在6个月后预测更抑郁的症状，以及这种影响是否是通过认为使用色情内容有问题而介导的（基线后3个月测得）。我们构建并验证了自己的自我感知问题色情使用量度，该量度包括两个因素：过度使用色情和强迫性使用色情。与我们的假设相反，宗教信仰与自认为有问题的色情使用无关。对于男人来说 基线时的宗教信仰与6个月使用色情内容的增加有关。对于男性和女性，在3个月时过度使用色情内容会导致6个月时抑郁加剧。对于男性，基线时的抑郁与3个月时自我感觉到的色情使用问题有关。对于女性，在3个月时使用较高的自我感知的有问题的色情内容预示着使用色情内容的频率较低，而在6个月时出现较高的抑郁感。我们的研究结果是根据抑郁症，宗教不一致和性文字的理论进行讨论的。在3个月时较高的自我感知的问题色情内容使用量会预测使用色情内容的频率较低，而在6个月时会出现较高的抑郁感。我们根据抑郁症，宗教不一致和性文字的理论讨论了我们的发现。在3个月时较高的自我感知的问题色情内容使用量会预测使用色情内容的频率较低，而在6个月时会出现较高的抑郁感。我们的研究结果是根据抑郁症，宗教不一致和性文字的理论进行讨论的。
