ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between shame and religiosity in secular and religious adolescents' willingness to seek help or therapy for their compulsive sexual behavior (CSB). The study population included 274 adolescents (131 boys and 143 girls), aged 14–18 (M = 16.84, SD = 1.29). By religiosity, 51.4% (n = 141) self-defined themselves as secular and 48.6% (n = 133) as religious. Questionnaires were uploaded to Qualtrics—an online platform for questionnaires. Help-seeking steps were prompted by shame. Adolescents who experienced a high degree of shame with their CSB reported greater willingness to receive help; those who reported little or no shame did not express a desire to seek help, despite their level of CSB. Among secular adolescents, but not among religious ones, shame motivated help seeking and willingness to receive help. Religious adolescents refrain from seeking help despite their shame of their CSB.

有强迫性行为倾向的青少年：羞耻在寻求帮助和治疗的意愿中的作用

摘要这项研究的目的是研究世俗和宗教青少年为强迫性行为（CSB）寻求帮助或治疗的意愿中羞耻与宗教信仰之间的关系。研究人群包括274名青少年（131名男孩和143名女孩），年龄14至18岁（M = 16.84，SD = 1.29）。通过宗教活动，51.4％（n = 141）自我定义为世俗，48.6％（n = 133）定义为宗教。问卷已上载到Qualtrics（一个在线问卷调查平台）。羞耻提示寻求帮助的步骤。青少年对公务员事务局感到羞耻的情况表明他们更愿意获得帮助。尽管CSB水平很高，那些很少或根本没有感到羞耻的人并没有表达寻求帮助的愿望。在世俗的青少年中，而非宗教青少年中，寻求帮助的羞耻动机和愿意获得帮助的意愿。宗教青少年尽管对CSB感到羞耻，但还是避免寻求帮助。
