Horney's Sociocultural Approach

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Cultural Studies

Background:

  • China's sexual conservatism influences pornography use.
  • Research on pornography use in China is limited due to cultural attitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review problematic pornography use (PPU) in China.
  • To describe PPU motivations, prevalence, screening, diagnosis, and interventions within the Chinese context.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on pornography use in China.
  • Analysis of motivations, prevalence, screening tools, diagnostic criteria, and treatment availability.

Main Results:

  • Self-exploration and education are primary motivations for pornography use.
  • PPU prevalence in China is high but inconsistently assessed; valid screening scales exist.
  • Symptoms of PPU in China mirror Western samples, but treatment options are scarce, creating a supply-demand imbalance.

Conclusions:

  • Chinese PPU motivations show cultural nuances but core symptoms align with international findings.
  • A significant gap exists between the prevalence of PPU and available professional psychotherapy services in China.
