Abstract
En 中文
Although pornography cravings can affect many aspects of a user’s life, only the Pornography Craving Questionnaire has been developed to assess pornography cravings in adults. We aimed to culturally adapt and evaluate the measurement properties of the Brazilian version of the Pornography Craving Questionnaire (Br-PCQ) in adults, and create a psychometric cut-off point to identify higher levels of craving. This was an online study conducted with 1540 Brazilian people (813 females and 727 males) over 18 years (30.59 ± 10.30 years). According to COSMIN, we translated and assessed the content validity, structural validity, internal consistency, measurement invariance between biological sexes, construct validity, test–retest reliability, measurement error, and floor and ceiling effects of the Br-PCQ. Item response theory was used to create the cut-off point for the Br-PCQ. The Br-PCQ content was reported as a relevant, comprehensive, and understandable nine-item, one-factor structure with adequate internal consistency. There was no invariance between biological sexes and the instrument had a positive and strong correlation with the frequency of pornography use. The Br-PCQ also showed adequate values for test–retest and measurement error and no floor and ceiling effects. For the new score calculation, the cut-off point to identify higher levels of craving was 10.80 points. Br-PCQ is a reliable and valid measurement instrument for assessing craving for pornography in the Brazilian population.
