N2  - This study sought to determine whether right-wing authoritarian (RWA) tendencies were traits common to Christian and non-Christian males who were Internet pornography compulsives. Participants of the study included males (N = 120), 18 or older, who had Internet access. An online survey that included the Kalichman Sexual Compulsivity Scale (KSCS), the Right-Wing Authoritarian Scale (RWA Scale), and a general demographics questionnaire was administered. A two-way factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted for the study. The ANOVA indicated significant interaction between compulsivity and RWA, F (1, 116) = 13.92, p <.0001, partial eta squared =.11. However, Christian compulsives did not appear to demonstrate more right-wing authoritarian tendencies than non-Christian compulsives, F (1, 116) =.52, p =.45, partial eta squared =.005. The results strengthen the field of Internet pornography research because the understanding of RWA and compulsives is necessary for the treatment of cybersexuals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
