Abstract
Objectives: Addiction to pornography is one of the most important behavioral addictions among Iranian youth. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a measurement scale of �cravings for pornography� Iran. Methods: This Psychometric study was conducted on a 234 general Iranian population sample in 2017 with a random sampling method. In this study, the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Pornography Craving Questionnaire were evaluated. Data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis using SPSS version 23. The questionnaire was administered online (Telegram application and email). Results: The age range of 234 study participants was 13 to 51 years (mean = 29.7); 97 females (41.5) and 135 males (57.7). To determine this questionnaire�s cut-off value, we divided into three categories of low or no craving (12 - 36), average (36 - 60), and high (60 - 84). The result of exploratory factor analysis for these questions identified two factors (Psychological reactions and Desire). Cronbach�s alpha was 0.8. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, the Persian version of the �the pornography craving questionnaire� has sufficient reliability and validity in Iranian society.
