Screening for Problematic Pornography Use with the Brief Pornography Screen: A Scoping Review (Current Addiction Reports)
摘要
Four years after the publication of the Brief Pornography Screen (BPS), this review was undertaken to identify the scope of validation research on this brief assessment tool for problematic pornography use (PPU) as well as to identify trends and current gaps in the literature.
Recent FindingsA total of 33 studies, including 95 samples from 43 countries and 21 languages with potential BPS validation data were identified. These studies included data, which we analyzed according to gender identities, sexual orientations, and further demographic groups, as well as clinical, subclinical, and non-clinical groups.
SummaryOverall, results from 33 studies confirm the BPS as a valid and reliable assessment tool to identify PPU in clinical and non-clinical populations. Additional research evaluating the proposed clinical cut-off scores, test retest-reliability, as well as further psychometric testing in diverse clinical and subclinical samples from a variety of countries is warranted.
