Objectives: In spite of growing concerns about adolescents' pornography use, research on problematic pornography use (PPU) in this population is scarce.Method: We examined the structure and prevalence of PPU symptoms across six months in 337 male Croatian adolescents.Results: Network analysis indicated that associations among PPU symptoms were highly stable, which was not the case with being at risk for PPU. Less than 5% of the panel participants appeared to be at risk for PPU.Conclusions: This study's findings may help increase awareness and reduce moral panic about PPU among parents and teachers, and inform emerging pornography literacy programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
