The objective of the present study was to determine whether there is an association between pornography use and reported intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among a sample of soldiers in the US Army. The study was a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected from soldiers at a military installation in 2018 (n = 9,052). IPV was defined as any self-reported perpetration of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse of an intimate partner. Multivariable negative binomial regressions were used to assess the association between pornography use and any lifetime perpetration of IPV, controlling for gender, age group, race/ethnicity, relationship status, educational status, military rank, hazardous drinking, depression, stimulant use, depressant use, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Of the population analyzed, 41% of soldiers reported any pornography use per week, and 9.6% reported perpetrating any form of IPV. Soldiers who reported pornography use had between a 1.72- and 3.56-fold greater likelihood of reporting any lifetime perpetration of IPV, controlling for covariates. Given the prevalence and detrimental effects of IPV, longitudinal studies should be designed to further understand predictors of IPV in military populations.

本研究的目的是确定美国陆军士兵样本中色情使用与报告的亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 实施之间是否存在关联。该研究是对 2018 年从军事设施士兵处收集的横截面数据的二次分析（n = 9,052）。IPV 被定义为任何自我报告的对亲密伴侣的身体、性或心理虐待。多变量负二项回归用于评估色情使用与任何终生 IPV 犯罪之间的关联，控制性别、年龄组、种族/民族、关系状况、教育状况、军衔、危险饮酒、抑郁、兴奋剂使用、抑郁剂使用, 和创伤后应激障碍。在分析的人群中，41% 的士兵报告每周使用任何色情内容，9.6% 报告执行任何形式的 IPV。在控制协变量的情况下，报告使用色情内容的士兵报告任何终生 IPV 犯罪的可能性要高 1.72 到 3.56 倍。鉴于 IPV 的普遍性和有害影响，
