有几个评估问题色情使用的量表（PPU）可用。然而，在大多数以前的研究中，主要是非临床和西方样本用于验证这些量表。因此，需要进一步的研究来验证量表，以评估不同样本（包括亚临床人群）中有问题的色情内容使用情况。本研究的目的是检查和比较的PPCS-18在匈牙利和中国的社区样本和亚临床男性的心理测量特性。招募了中国社区男性样本（N1 = 695）、使用简明色情筛查进行PPU筛查的亚临床男性样本（N2 = 4651）和匈牙利社区男性样本（N3 = 9395），以研究PPCS-18的信度和效度。项目总分的相关性，验证性因素分析，可靠性和测量不变性测试表明，PPCS-18匈牙利和中国的社区男性之间产生了较强的心理测量特性，并在亚临床男性的潜在效用。网络分析法也证实了PPCS-18的6个因素能够反映不同文化背景、社区和亚临床人群的特征。总之，PPCS-18在不同文化、社区和亚临床男性中表现出高度的普遍性。
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 present study was to examine and compare the psychometric properties of the PPCS-18 in Hungarian and Chinese community samples and in subclinical men. A sample of Chinese community men (N1 = 695), a sample of subclinical men who were screened for PPU using the Brief Pornography Screen (N2 = 4651), and a sample of Hungarian community men (N3 = 9395) were recruited to investigate the reliability and validity of the PPCS-18. Item-total score correlation, confirmatory factor analyses, reliability, and measurement invariance tests showed that the PPCS-18 yielded strong psychometric properties among Hungarian and Chinese community men and indicated potential utility in the subclinical men. The network analytic approach also corroborates that the six factors of the PPCS-18 can reflect the characteristic of the participants from different cultural contexts, and participants from community and subclinical populations. In sum, the PPCS-18 demonstrated high generalizability across cultures and community and subclinical men.
