Temperament, emotional state, masturbation addiction and cyber pornography among
college students in South Korea
Baronese Peters
Sahmyook University, South Korea
Statement of the Problem
: Sexually explicit
material represents a significant part of
contemporary internet, with individuals
becoming exposed to it at progressively
younger ages. This exposure could impact their
emotional, psychological and physical health
in the long run, leading to the development of
addiction and difficulties in connecting with
others to form relationships.
Purpose of this study is to evaluate the
consumption of cyber pornography in order to
identify indicators of addictive behaviour and
evidence of guilt about the use of pornography
and masturbation.
Methodology
: The current study seeked to
quantitatively measure the extent of Cyber
pornography access among male and female
undergraduate students to measure the
potential correlations between the extent of Cyber pornography access and indicators of addictive patterns negative affect with
personality stats and traits and if the BIS/BAS scale characteristics associated with pornography usage and students will have
negative emotions and feel guilty after masturbating.
Findings
: An analysis of the BAS/BIS scale factors helped identify the paradox of addiction, leading to the conclusion that there
are certain characteristics that can predict the addiction of pornography, such as pleasure, reward, sexual drive or fun seeking as
BAS factors or compulsion, lack of self-control and guilt as BIS factors.
Conclusion
: This study is salient as it offers new insights on cyber pornography consumption habits of both males and females
in a South Korean university and their correlation to masturbation addiction, exploring at the same time the correlation between
addictive behavior and guilt.
Recommendations are that future studies evaluate the feelings of guilt and shame after masturbation in relation to other religious
confessions, to determine if a correlation exists and to design strategies to support male and female students in distress regarding
cyber pornography.
