Abstract Research has recently focused on hypersexual behavior and Internet-pornography-viewing disorder as potential psychopathological conditions, but specific aspects of the phenomena have been widely neglected. This study aimed to investigate excessive masturbation as a subset and symptom of hypersexual behaviors. 2 studies with independent samples have been conducted. In study 1 (n = 146), the Excessive Masturbation Scale (EMS) was designed and tested via explorative factor analysis. In study 2 (n = 255), the psychometric properties of the EMS were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. A replicable 2-factor structure (“Coping” and “Loss of Control”) was identified. The EMS showed good psychometric properties and provides a promising basis for further research.

过度手淫的运作化-EMS的发展

摘要最近的研究集中在将性行为和互联网色情视学障碍作为潜在的心理病理状况，但是这种现象的具体方面已被广泛忽略。这项研究旨在调查过度手淫是性行为的一部分和症状。进行了2个具有独立样本的研究。在研究1（n = 146）中，设计了过度手淫量表（EMS），并通过探索性因素分析对其进行了测试。在研究2中（n = 255），通过验证性因素分析评估了EMS的心理测量特性。确定了可复制的两因素结构（“应对”和“控制权丧失”）。EMS显示出良好的心理测量特性，并为进一步研究提供了有希望的基础。
