UHLOBO LWESIKHWAMA Lesi sikhwama siyisikhwama sempesheni esinezimali ezinqunyiwe ezifakwa kuso. Loku kusho ukuthi izinzuzo nezimali ezitholakala kuso ekugcineni zithathelwa ezimalini ezifakwe esikhwameni sempesheni, kanye nemali ebitholakala ngokutshalwa kwalezi zimali. Inhloso yesikhwama sempesheni ngukuthi sikuholele nyangazonge imali yempesheni uma ngabe wena usuthathe umhlalaphansi.

Study 1 (n = 367) found that higher pornography consumption was related to lower commitment, and Study 2 (n = 34) replicated this finding using observational data. Study 3 (n = 20) participants were randomly assigned to either refrain from viewing pornography or to a self-control task. Those who continued using pornography reported lower levels of commitment than control participants. In Study 4 (n = 67), participants consuming higher levels of pornography flirted more with an extradyadic partner during an online chat. Study 5 (n= 240) found that pornography consumption was positively related to infidelity and this association was mediated by commitment. Overall, a consistent pattern of results was found using a variety of approaches including cross-sectional (Study 1), observational (Study 2), experimental (Study 3), and behavioral (Studies 4 and 5) data.
