Trait and state impulsivity in males with tendency towards Internet-pornography-use disorder.

CONCLUSION: The results indicate that both trait and state impulsivity play a crucial role in the development of IPD. In accordance with dual-process models of addiction, the results may be indicative of an imbalance between the impulsive and reflective systems which might be triggered by pornographic material. This may result in loss of control over the Internet-pornography use albeit experiencing negative consequences. PMID: 29291508 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
