Objectives

This article analyzes the extent to which the legal framework for prostitution can influence the moral judgments individuals make about purchasing sex. We hypothesize that the decriminalization of prostitution (versus the criminalization of purchasing sexual services) increases the acceptability of buying sex.

Methods

To test this hypothesis, we conduct a factorial survey experiment (FSE) for a Spanish sample. Various descriptions (vignettes) of hypothetical scenarios regarding prostitution in Spain were presented to the respondents to elicit them to form judgements about the acceptability of purchasing sexual services (by a man from a woman) in each of these scenarios.

Results

From the analysis carried out with multilevel models, robust and causal empirical evidence was obtained in favor of this hypothesis. This result was moderated by some of the contextual variables presented in the vignettes and by some personal characteristics of the respondents.

Conclusions

Different legal approaches to the sex industry can influence attitudes towards purchasing sexual services.

卖淫的法律框架会影响购买性行为的可接受性吗?

目标

本文分析了卖淫法律框架可在多大程度上影响个人对购买性行为做出的道德判断。我们假设卖淫合法化(与购买性服务定为刑事犯罪相比)增加了购买性行为的可接受性。

方法

为了验证这一假设,我们对西班牙样本进行了析因调查实验(FSE)。向受访者提供了关于西班牙卖淫假说的各种描述(渐晕),以诱使他们对在每种情况下(从男人到女人)购买性服务的可接受性做出判断。

结果

通过使用多层次模型进行的分析,获得了支持该假设的可靠且因果的经验证据。该结果受到小插曲中呈现的一些环境变量和受访者个人特征的影响。

结论

性行业的不同法律方法可能会影响人们对购买性服务的态度。
