4097.1 Psychosocial correlates of men’s online pornography viewing in Hong Kong, Darius
K-S. Chan, Chun Bun Lam, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
This study examined the psychosocial correlates of men's online pornography viewing in Hong
Kong. Over 200 young men completed a questionnaire designed to measure their online
pornography viewing, peer and parental influences, personality variables, and various types of
sexual attitudes. Results show that online pornography viewing was strongly associated with
factors such as peer influences, vulnerability to peer pressure, and parental involvement. Moreover,
participants reported to have more online pornography viewing were found to score higher on
measures of premarital sexual permissiveness and proclivities toward sexual harassment.
Conceptual and applied implications of these findings will be discussed.
4097.2 Responses to unattractiveness as a social threat, Richard Ralley, Centre for Studies in
the Social Sciences, Edge Hill, UK
There is a relative lack of studies on unattractiveness rather than attractiveness. In new work, the
effects on target detection of primes describing sexual unattractiveness correlate strongly and
specifically with the effects of social threat words. Other categories of emotional words do not
produce the correlation with the unattractiveness words. Bodily or sexual self-esteem predicts
outcomes only in particular cases. Follow-up confirms that the effect is not refractory to
participant insight. The value of unattractiveness research and potential for test creation is
discussed.
4097.3 Shame and self actualization: Hypnotic treatment, Martin Wong, Arthur Leidecker,
Leidecker Institute, Chicago, USA.
Shame issues are said by Erikson to begin at life's earliest stages of learning, and thus are stored in
the brain in a pre-verbal manner. Traditional talk-based therapies, rarely can come close to
touching them. Non-verbal, behavioral therapeutic techniques such as Regression Hypnosis are
best at contacting these feelings and addressing them. This paper explores this hypnotherapeutic
model and gives examples of successful treatment.

University in China
