Recent reviews of the pornography literature have called for the development of valid and reliable measures that assess multiple facets of pornography use. Moreover, despite pornography use having important implications for romantic relationships, there are currently no self-report assessments of pornography use specifically within the context of romantic relationships. To address these limitations, the current paper reports on two studies regarding the development and psychometric evaluation of a 38-item multidimensional measure of pornography use within the context of romantic relationships: the Pornography Use in Romantic Relationships Scale (PURRS). Study 1 (n = 739) reports on an Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analytic approach to determine the factor structure of the PURRS. Study 2 (n = 765) reports on the cross-validation of the factor structure of the PURRS, before assessing the criterion validity of the measure. The PURRS exhibited good internal consistency, construct validity, and criterion validity. The findings suggest that the PURRS is best modeled by 13 first-order factors, though a higher-order factor structure comprising four broad factors may also be used. The PURRS significantly extends on past assessments of pornography use, and in particular, advances the assessment and study of pornography use within the context of romantic relationships.

最近对色情文学的评论呼吁制定有效且可靠的措施来评估色情制品使用的多个方面。此外，尽管色情内容的使用对浪漫关系具有重要影响，但目前还没有专门针对浪漫关系背景下的色情内容使用的自我报告评估。为了解决这些局限性，本文报告了两项研究，涉及浪漫关系背景下色情使用的 38 项多维测量的开发和心理测量评估：浪漫关系中的色情使用量表 (PURRS)。研究 1 ( n  = 739) 报告了用于确定 PURRS 因子结构的探索性和验证性因子分析方法。研究 2（n = 765）在评估措施的标准有效性之前报告 PURRS 因子结构的交叉验证。PURRS 表现出良好的内部一致性、结构效度和标准效度。研究结果表明，PURRS 最好由 13 个一阶因子建模，尽管也可以使用包含四个广泛因子的高阶因子结构。PURRS 显着扩展了过去对色情内容使用的评估，特别是推进了在恋爱关系背景下对色情内容使用的评估和研究。
