到目前为止，没有一个简短的规模存在，可以评估有问题的色情使用（PPU）具有坚实的理论背景和强大的心理测量特性。当可用的资源稀缺和/或当应答者的注意力范围有限时，具有这种短的量表可能是有利的。本研究的目的是开发一个简短的规模，可用于筛选PPU。问题色情消费量表（PPCS-18）被用作PPU（PPCS-6）的简短测量的基础。社区样本（N-1 = 15，051），色情网站访问者样本（N-2 = 760）和寻求治疗的个人样本（N-3 = 266）被招募来调查PPCS-6的可靠性和有效性。此外，其关联性被测试为理论上相关的相关性（例如，性欲亢进、手淫频率），并确定临界评分。PPCS-6产生了强大的心理测量特性的因素结构，测量不变性，可靠性，合理相关的评估变量，并确定了一个最佳的截止，可以可靠地区分PPU和非问题色情使用。PPCS-6可以被认为是一个简短，可靠，有效的规模，以评估PPU的研究时，问卷的长度是必不可少的，或当一个简短的筛选PPU是必要的。
To date, no short scale existed that could assess problematic pornography use (PPU) having a solid theoretical background and strong psychometric properties. Having such a short scale may be advantageous when scarce resources are available and/or when respondents' attention spans are limited. The aim of the present investigation was to develop a short scale that can be utilized to screen for PPU. The Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS-18) was used as a basis for the development of a short measure of PPU (PPCS-6). A community sample (N-1 = 15,051), a sample of pornography site visitors (N-2 = 760), and a sample of treatment-seeking individuals (N-3 = 266) were recruited to investigate the reliability and validity of the PPCS-6. Also, its association was tested to theoretically-relevant correlates (e.g., hypersexuality, frequency of masturbation), and a cutoff score was determined. The PPCS-6 yielded strong psychometric properties in terms of factor structure, measurement invariance, reliability, correlated reasonably with the assessed variables, and an optimal cutoff was identified that could reliably distinguish between PPU and non-problematic pornography use. PPCS-6 can be considered as a short, reliable, and valid scale to assess PPU in studies when the length of a questionnaire is essential or when a brief screening for PPU is necessary.
