虽然观看色情内容在互联网用户中很普遍，但还没有开发出衡量色情使用动机（PUM）的量表，也没有对普通人群的使用进行心理测量学测试。目前的工作旨在构建一种能够可靠地评估非特异性人群中大范围PUM的措施。收集3个独立样本（N-1 = 772[51%女性]，N-2 = 792[6%女性]，N-3 = 1082[50%女性]）的自述数据，采用验证性因子分析、测量不变性检验和结构方程模型（SEM）进行分析。根据文献综述和定性分析（N-1），确定了最常见的PUM：性愉悦、性好奇、情绪分散或抑制、减压、幻想、避免无聊、缺乏性满足和自我探索。构建了项目，验证性因子分析（N-2和N-3）产生了很强的心理测量特性。为了进一步证实色情使用动机量表（PUMS）的结构有效性，我们对基于性别的测量不变性进行了检验，并对色情使用频率（FPU）、问题色情使用频率（PPU）和色情使用动机之间的关系进行了检验。除了性好奇和自我探索之外，男性在所有动机方面的得分都高于女性。基于扫描电镜的结果，我们发现性愉悦、避免无聊和减轻压力的动机与FPU呈正相关，弱到中度相关。与减压、情绪分散或压抑、避免无聊、幻想和性快感相关的动机与PPU有积极的、弱到中度的关联。PUMS是评估一般人群中最常见的PUM的可靠量表。
Although pornography viewing is widespread among Internet users, no scales for measuring pornography use motivations (PUM) have been developed and psychometrically tested for use in general populations. The present work aimed to construct a measure that could reliably assess a wide range of PUM in nonspecific populations. Self-report data of 3 separate samples (N-1 = 772 [51% women], N-2 = 792 [6% women], N-3 = 1,082 [50% women]) were collected and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance testing, and structural equation modeling (SEM). The most common PUM were identified based on a literature review and qualitative analysis (N-1): sexual pleasure, sexual curiosity, emotional distraction or suppression, stress reduction, fantasy, boredom avoidance, lack of sexual satisfaction, and self-exploration. Items were constructed, and confirmatory factor analyses (N-2 and N-3) yielded strong psychometric properties. Further corroborating the structural validity of the Pornography Use Motivations Scale (PUMS), gender-based measurement invariance was tested, and associations of the frequency of pornography use (FPU), problematic pornography use (PPU), and PUM were examined. Men-compared to women-demonstrated higher scores on all motivations except for sexual curiosity and self-exploration. Based on the results of SEM, we found that sexual pleasure, boredom avoidance, and stress reduction motivations showed positive, weak-to-moderate associations with FPU. Motivations relating to stress reduction, emotional distraction or suppression, boredom avoidance, fantasy, and sexual pleasure had positive, weak-to-moderate associations with PPU. The PUMS is a reliable scale to assess the most common PUM in general populations.
