Abstract

Dysregulated sexuality refers to sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are perceived as out of control and distressing. This study aimed to explore the relationships between desire thinking and metacognition about desire thinking in relation to dysregulated sexuality and craving. Approximately 1,042 participants completed a battery of self-report questionnaires. The results suggest that increased desire thinking and metacognition around desire thinking are significantly associated with dysregulated sexuality. Furthermore, the verbal perseveration aspect of desire thinking significantly predicted dysregulated sexuality after controlling for trait sexual desire. These findings support both the model of desire thinking and craving and the tri-phasic metacognitive model of addictive behavior. Despite study limitations, there is a need for further research in this area.

摘要

性欲失调是指被认为无法控制和困扰的性思想，感觉和行为。这项研究旨在探讨欲望思维与欲望思维的元认知之间有关性欲和渴望失调之间的关系。大约1,042位参与者完成了一系列自我报告调查问卷。结果表明，增加的欲望思维和围绕欲望思维的元认知与性欲失调显着相关。此外，欲望思维的言语持久性方面在控制了性欲特征后，显着预测了性欲失调。这些发现支持了欲望思维和渴望模型以及成瘾行为的三相元认知模型。尽管有研究限制，
