摘要

Several studies have explored the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and mental health difficulties, including behavioural addictions. However, no empirical studies have examined the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and problematic pornography use (PPU). Therefore, the present study examined the association between EMSs and online pornography use, as well as investigated the difference between problematic and non-problematic pornography users. A sample of 969 adults completed the Young Schema Questionnaire–Short Version and the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS). The findings indicated that the strongest correlated EMSs with PPU were (i) Emotional Deprivation, (ii) Abandonment, (iii) Mistrust and Abuse, (iv) Social Isolation, (v) Defectiveness and Shame, (vi) Self-Sacrifice, (vii) Unrelenting Standards, (viii) Entitlement, and (ix) Insufficient Self-Control. All schema domains were positively correlated with PPCS scores, with the schema domains Disconnection and Rejection, Impaired Limits, and Overvigilance and Inhibition showing the strongest correlations. Results indicated that EMSs explained approximately 26% of the variance in PPU among all participants. Disconnection and Rejection, Overvigilance and Inhibition, and Other Directedness were the strongest schema domain predictors, accounting for 15% of the variance in PPU. The present study provides novel insight and clinical implications for future clinical practice, with the aim of minimising or buffering the impact of EMSs and reducing subsequent PPU.
