The purpose of this paper is to investigate the attitudes of staff members in secure hospitals and the general population towards pornography use and their decision-making regarding access to pornography.,A between participants design was used whereby 324 participants, including 162 staff members and 162 people of general population, answered an online questionnaire. Vignettes were presented of six hypothetical patients in a secure hospital, based on gender (male/female) and offence type (sexual/violent/non-offender). Participants were required to decide whether the individual depicted in the vignette should have access to pornography. Finally, participants were given a psychometric assessment of their own attitudes towards pornography.,Participants were less likely to decide that the sex offender should have access to pornography than the violent or non-offender, thus the offence type of the patient was a significant predictor. There was a significant relationship between attitudes to pornography and whether the individual in the vignette should be given access to pornography. There was no significant difference between attitudes towards pornography of the general public and staff members or for male and female participants. Gender of the patient described in the vignette was not a significant predictor.,The research highlights the importance of our own attitudes towards pornography, our possible beliefs about sexual offenders and the effects these may have on decision-making.,The research determines attitudes towards pornography and explores how attitudes influence decision-making.

对安全医院中使用色情制品的态度的定量分析：性，暴力和非犯罪者

本文的目的是调查安全医院中的工作人员以及普通人群对使用色情内容的态度及其在获取色情内容方面的决策。采用参与者之间的设计，共有324名参与者参加，其中包括162名工作人员和162名工作人员。一般人群回答了在线问卷。根据性别（男性/女性）和犯罪类型（性/暴力/非犯罪），在安全的医院中对六名假设患者进行了小插图介绍。要求参与者决定小插图中描绘的个人是否应该获得色情内容。最后，对参与者进行了关于自己对色情内容态度的心理评估。与暴力或非犯罪者相比，参与者不太可能决定性犯罪者应该获得色情制品，因此患者的开放性是重要的预测指标。对色情制品的态度与小插图中的个人是否应获得色情制品之间存在重大关系。公众和工作人员对色情制品的态度以及男女参与者对色情制品的态度没有明显差异。小插图中描述的患者性别并不是重要的预测指标。该研究强调了我们自己对色情内容的态度，我们对性犯罪者的可能信念及其对决策的影响的重要性。
