- Solo and partnered sexual activities might be extrapolated to the virtual arena.
- Adolescents consuming pornography vs other forms of cybersex have distinct profiles.
- Differences were found on psychological and cultural factors.
Research has indicated several differences between those who solely engaged in online pornography use and those who mainly engaged in partnered sexual activities. We examined whether the distinction between solo and partnered sexual activities might be extrapolated to the virtual arena, while studying the psychological differences between adolescents who engaged in each activity. Israeli adolescents (N= 2112; 788 maschi è 1,324 ragazze), 14-18 anni (M = 16.52, SD = 1.63), hà participatu à un studiu in linea. Ogni participante cumpletò una batteria ordinata aleatoriamente di questionarii d'autoreportu nantu à a frequenza di l'usu di pornografia, attività in linea di relazione sessuale, tratti di personalità, narcisisimu, strategie di regulazione di emozioni, individualisimu, intimità sociale è fattori socio-demografichi. Adolescents who consumed pornography (i.e., solo online activity) are mostly boys, introvert, neurotic, less agreeable, and with less conscientious judgement. In addition, they are more overt narcissist, use more suppression and less reappraisal to regulate emotions, are high on vertical individualism, low on social intimacy. Adolescents who engaged in online partnered sexual activities are mostly girls, extrovert, open to experience, neurotic, less agreeable, and with less conscientious judgement. In addition, they are more narcissist, are high on vertical individualism and low on vertical collectivism, and high on social intimacy. We discuss the distinctiveness of the differences and their place in the virtual era.
