Abstract:
ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the moderating role of sexual attitudes in the association between online sexual activity (OSA) and problematic pornography use (PPU) in the Chinese context. Specifically, we examined whether incongruence stemming from attitudes (i.e., disapproval of nonmarital and casual sex but engaging in OSA) amplifies the perception of PPU.MethodsWe recruited two samples of Chinese men, one from the community (N1 = 525) and the other comprising help-seeking individuals (N2 = 578).ResultsSexual attitudes moderate the relationship between OSA and PPU in both samples, with the predictive influence of OSA on PPU weakening among individuals with a relatively permissive attitude (scored one SD above the mean of sexual attitudes), and strengthened among individuals with a relatively conservative attitude (scored one SD below the mean of sexual attitudes).ConclusionsIn the conservative sexual cultural context of China, a relatively conservative sexual attitude might strengthen the association between OSA and PPU.
