Abstract The current study examined potential roles for two types of “passionate attachment” in mediating the relationship between pornography use and sexual compulsivity. Harmonious passion (HP) occurs when a person’s sexual behavior is congruent with personal life, while obsessive passion (OP) occurs when an “uncontrollable urge” to engage in sexual activity creates conflict and interferes with functioning. We recruited 265 university men to complete questionnaires assessing demographics, pornography use characteristics, passionate attachment for pornography, and sexual compulsivity. Relationships between study variables were examined using structural path modeling analysis. HP ratings were found to significantly, though partially, mediate the relationship between ratings of weekly pornography use and sexual compulsivity. OP ratings were found to mediate fully the relationship between weekly pornography use and sexual compulsivity ratings. When a fully specified 2-mediator model was estimated, only OP remained a significant predictor of sexual compulsivity. The relationship between weekly pornography use and sexual compulsivity was fully explained by OP ratings, while HP was not found to contribute to sexual compulsivity scores, above and beyond the effect of OP. The findings that OP, but not HP, links pornography use and sexual compulsivity suggests that obsessive forms of passionate attachment may represent a target for treatment.

特殊形式的热情依恋差异地介导年轻成年男子使用色情和性强迫之间的关系

摘要当前的研究探讨了两种“激情依恋”在调解色情使用和性强迫之间的关系中的潜在作用。当一个人的性行为与个人生活相吻合时，就会发生和谐的激情（HP），而当一种“无法控制的性欲”进行性活动而产生冲突并干扰其机能时，就会产生强迫性激情（OP）。我们招募了265名大学男子来完成问卷调查，以评估人口统计资料，色情内容的使用特征，对色情内容的热情依恋以及性强迫症。研究变量之间的关系使用结构路径建模分析进行了检查。发现HP评分在很大程度上（尽管部分地）介导了每周使用色情内容的评分与性强迫之间的关系。发现OP评分可以完全介导每周使用色情内容与性强迫评分之间的关​​系。当估计完全指定的2-介体模型时，只有OP仍然是性强迫症的重要预测因子。OP评分充分说明了每周使用色情内容与性强迫之间的关系，而HP并未超出OP的作用而有助于性强迫评分。OP（而非HP）将色情内容的使用与性强迫性联系起来的发现表明，激情依恋的强迫症形式​​可能代表了治疗的目标。OP评分充分说明了每周使用色情内容与性强迫之间的关系，而HP并未超出OP的作用而有助于性强迫评分。OP（而非HP）将色情内容的使用与性强迫性联系起来的发现表明，激情依恋的强迫症形式​​可能代表了治疗的目标。OP评分充分说明了每周使用色情内容与性强迫之间的关系，而HP并未超出OP的作用而有助于性强迫评分。OP（而非HP）将色情内容的使用与性强迫性联系起来的发现表明，激情依恋的强迫症形式​​可能代表了治疗的目标。
