The study was conducted on a non-clinical sample of nearly 1000 participants. Sexual motivation was assessed using the Sexual Motivation Scale and compulsive sexual behaviour was assessed using the Hypersexual Behaviour Inventory. Both measures showed adequate reliability. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyse the relationship between the variables.
In the regression, controlling for gender, of the six motivational factors, integrated (β = 0.167), introjected (β = 0.074) and amotivation (β = 0.128) were found significant (p <0.001), and identified was nearly significant (β = 0.53; p = 0.065). The intrinsic (β = -0.032; p = 0.366) and extrinsic (β = -0.027; p = 0.168) forms of motivation had no impact on hypersexuality. The total explained variance of the model was 18% (p <0.001). Results indicated that three of the six motivational factors positively and weakly predicted hypersexuality.
The original hypothesis of the study, that less self-determined motivated sexual behaviour would be a better predictor of compulsive sexual behaviour, was not confirmed. In practice, positively related variables, especially amotivation, may play an important role in psychotherapeutic processes. However, in order to better understand compulsive sexual behaviour, additional factors still need to be explored.
方法:该研究是对近1000名参与者的非临床样本进行的。使用性动机量表评估性动机,并使用超性行为量表评估强迫性行为。这两项措施都显示出足够的可靠性。进行多元线性回归分析变量之间的关系。
结果:在回归中,控制性别,在六个动机因素中,积分(β=0.167),内注性(β=0.074)和无源性(β=0.128)发现显著(p<0.001),和鉴定几乎是显著的(β=0.53;p=0.065)。内在(β=-0.032;p=0.366)和外在(β=-0.027;p=0.168)形式的动机对性欲过高没有影响。模型的总解释方差为18%(p<0.001)。结果表明,六个动机因素中的三个对性欲亢进有积极和微弱的预测。
结论:研究的原始假设,更少的自我决定动机的性行为将更好地预测强迫性行为,没有确认。在实践中,正相关变量,尤其是动机,可能在心理治疗过程中起重要作用。然而,为了更好地理解强迫性行为,其他因素仍需探讨。
