Proposal of an instrument to mesure preliminar pornography addiction in mexican population
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on the Internet have generated great benefits for society, but it has also strongly promoted behavioral addictions, such as pornography addiction. The use of pornography is not a problem, but the truth is that its abuse causes harmful effects on people’s physical and mental health.
Objective: this article analyzes the use, but with special emphasis on the harm caused by abuse and addiction to pornography. Likewise, the first Mexican scale is proposed to preliminarily measure addiction to pornography.
Method: reliability was evaluated through Cronbach’s Alpha and construct validity through Exploratory Factor Analysis.
Results: a structure of 5 factors was detected: Emotion, Difficulties to control, Arousal (masturbation), Tolerance and Withdrawal, with a Kaisen-Meyer-Olkin value of .860 and the Bartlett sphericity test was 1015,688; gl = 325; p = .000.
Discussion and conclusions: therefore, it is concluded that the EMAP (Addiction to Pornography Scale) for Mexican men and women is valid and reliable for research purposes.
