TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Low neuroticism and high hedonistic traits for female internet child pornography consumers JO - Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking A1 - Seigfried-Spellar, Kathryn C. A1 - Rogers, Marcus K. SP - 629 EP - 635 VL - 13 IS - 6 N2 - Limited research has attempted to identify and understand the personality characteristics of female consumers of Internet child pornography (ICP). In the current study, female respondents (N = 162) from the Seigfried et al. study were analyzed to determine if personality characteristics differed between female users (n = 10, 6.2%) and female non-users (n = 152, 93.8%) of ICP. An exploratory backward stepwise (Wald) logistic regression revealed a predictive model, with female ICP consumers scoring: low on neuroticism, high on moral choice hedonism, and self-reporting a non-white racial identity. The relationship between female ICP consumption, neuroticism, hedonism, and race are discussed, along with the study's limitations and future research suggestions in the area of computer deviance.
