尽管对诊断存在争议，但世界卫生组织最近选择将强迫性行为障碍纳入第11版国际疾病分类。最近和遥远的研究都表明，各种文化因素，如个人的宗教和道德，可以影响强迫性行为的经验和表达。由于先前的工作表明，色情使用可能是最常见的表达强迫性行为，目前的工作试图检查是否道德不一致的色情使用可能占强迫性行为的自我报告的实质性部分。在2个研究中，涉及4个样本，目前的工作测试的假设，道德不一致性，积极预测自我报告的强迫性色情使用。在研究1中，在3个样本（样本1，N = 467;样本2，N = 739;样本3，N = 1，461）中，包括2个与美国全国代表性规范（样本2和3）相匹配的样本，结果表明，道德不一致是自我报告强迫性的实质性和稳健的预测因子。在研究2（基线N = 850）中，在1年的过程中，平行过程的潜在增长曲线分析显示，色情使用的轨迹，自我报告的强迫性，道德上不赞成这种使用随着时间的推移共同变化。总的来说，这些结果强调了个人道德可能会影响个人对性行为的自我感知，这反过来又可能使准确诊断强迫性行为障碍的努力复杂化。
Despite controversies about the diagnosis, the World Health Organization recently elected to include compulsive sexual behavior disorder in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases. Both recent and remote works have suggested that various cultural factors such as personal religiousness and morality can influence both the experience and expression of compulsive sexual behaviors. Because prior works have indicated that pornography use is likely to be the most common expression of compulsive sexual behavior, the present work sought to examine whether moral incongruence about pornography use may account for a substantive part of self-reports of compulsive sexual behavior. In 2 studies involving 4 samples, the present work tested the hypothesis that moral incongruence would positively predict self-reported compulsivity in pornography use. In Study 1, across 3 samples (Sample 1, N = 467; Sample 2, N = 739; Sample 3, N = 1,461), including 2 matched to U.S. nationally representative norms (Samples 2 and 3), results indicated that moral incongruence was a substantive and robust predictor of self-reported compulsivity. In Study 2 (baseline N = 850), parallel process latent growth curve analyses over the course of 1 year revealed that the trajectories of pornography use, self-reported compulsivity, and moral disapproval of such use covaried together over time. Collectively, these results underscore the contention that personal morality may influence individuals' self-perceptions of their sexual behaviors, which, in turn, may complicate efforts to accurately diagnose compulsive sexual behavior disorder.
