Abstract Research about sex addiction and its relationships with other constructs remains unexplored. We recruited a gender-balanced sample (53 men, 51 women) who responded to measures of sex addiction, adverse childhood experience, adult attachment, narcissism, self-compassion, and motivation. Sex addiction was found to be statistically significantly associated with these constructs. Anxious attachment statistically significantly mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experience and sex addiction and the relationship between narcissism and sex addiction. Self-compassion did not statistically significantly moderate the relationship between anxious attachment and sex addiction. Therapeutic approaches targeting attachment and narcissism, such as relation-based or mindfulness-based interventions, are recommended.

性成瘾的途径：性别均衡样本中与不良童年经历，依恋，自恋，自我同情和动机的关系

摘要关于性成瘾及其与其他结构的关系的研究尚待探索。我们招募了一个性别均衡的样本（53名男性，51名女性），这些受访者对性成瘾，不良的童年经历，成人依恋，自恋，自我同情和动机做出了回应。发现性上瘾与这些结构在统计学上显着相关。焦虑依恋在统计学上显着地介导了不良的童年经历与性成瘾之间的关系以及自恋与性成瘾之间的关系。自我同情并没有统计学上显着缓解焦虑依恋与性成瘾之间的关系。建议采用针对依恋和自恋的治疗方法，例如基于关系或正念的干预措施。
