This study assessed the applicability of the Mate Preference Scale (MPS) across different populations and compared the characteristics of mate preferences among individuals from various cultural backgrounds and genders. A total of 924 Chinese participants (30.33 +- 5.67 years; 52.3 % men) and 12,074 Hungarian participants (30.69 +- 8.86 years; 50.9...

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the different categories of males within two groups, namely a community male sample who engaged in online sexual activities (OSAs) and a subclinical male sample who were out of control in viewing pornography and had sought help. Additionally, the study aimed to determine the threshold for exces...

Integrating the theoretical framework of the Stress and Coping Theory, this study investigated the impact of cumulative family risk (CFR) on adolescent depressive symptoms, investigating perceived stress as a mediator and a growth mindset as a moderator. Conducted with 726 junior high students (51.9% girls, 13.83 ± 0.92 years), the research found t...

This study, grounded in the Process-Person-Context-Time framework, investigates the complex interplay of family environmental factors and their influence on adolescent depressive symptoms, focusing on the role of ‘perceived stress’. Using network analysis, we examined data from 735 junior high students (52.1% female adolescents) from three province...

Frequent consumption of sexually explicit material (SEM) on the internet may influence attitudes toward sex (e.g., sociosexuality), and sociosexuality may influence people's preferences for potential partners' facial dimorphism. However, few studies have focused on the association between dimorphism preference and pornography consumption, and fewer...

Investigating the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and impulsivity will benefit our understanding of the concept of problematic pornography use (PPU), and revealing predisposing and malleable moderators of PPU will be beneficial for its prevention and intervention. The current study not only aimed to observ...

Background and aims Little data exist on exploring the subgroups and characteristics of problematic pornography use (PPU) in help-seeking adolescents. The aims of the study were to classify the subgroups among help-seeking male adolescents, explore their similarities and differences, and uncover their core symptoms. Methods A total of 3,468 Chines...

Many researchers have considered whether online sexual activities (OSAs) increased over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether these have led to an increase in problematic pornography use (PPU). This study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on PPU through pornography use motivations (PUMs) and OSAs to develop a better understanding of the...

Although the quantity of pornography use (QPU, i.e., frequency/time spent on pornography use) has been positively associated with the severity of pornography use (i.e., problematic pornography use, PPU), the magnitudes of relationships have varied across studies. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the overall relationships and identify potential mo...

In help- or treatment-seeking people, there may be a portion of individuals with self-perceived addiction; however, how to distinguish these individuals from help-seeking patients with dysregulated pornography use remains unclear. The present study sought to examine the specific role of impaired control in identifying individuals with self-perceive...

Several scales assessing problematic pornography use (PPU) are available. However, in most previous studies, primarily nonclinical and Western samples were used to validate these scales. Thus, further research is needed to validate scales to assess problematic pornography use across diverse samples, including subclinical populations. The aim of the...

The primary aim of this study was to compare different screening tools for problematic internet pornography use (IPU) and identify the most accurate measure. The reliability and validity of three scales, namely, the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS), Problematic Pornography Use Scale (PPUS), and Short Internet Addiction Test Adapted...

To examine the status quo of online sexual activities (OSAs) and to explore predictive factors and the influence of sexual sensation seeking (SSS), the third person effect (TPE) and gender on OSAs among college students in China. We conducted an on-line questionnaire survey among 808 students recruited with cluster random sampling at 6 universities...

Questions remain regarding how best to define problematic online sexual activities (OSAs) and about paths that may lead to problematic use of OSAs and their consequences. Although frequency and duration of use and motivational drive, as expressed through craving, to view pornography have been implicated in problematic OSAs, their inter-relationship...

Background: Many studies have reported an association between observers' self-attractiveness and their preference for sexual dimorphism across different physical domains, including the face, voice, and body. However, the results of these studies are inconsistent. Here, a meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the association between observers' own...
