Confirmatory Analysis of the Partner Sexuality Survey

Abstract

The discovery of sex addiction can be very traumatic for the partner of a sex addict. There is a lack of research examining the impact of sex addiction on the partner and there has been only 1 qualitative study that has examined how this traumatic discovery impacts the partner's sexuality. A 78-item questionnaire was developed that focuses on the impact of the addiction on the sexuality of the partner, the Partner Sexuality Survey (PSS). A confirmatory analysis was conducted on an online sample (n = 8667). Correlations and regression analyses were conducted with the subscales and findings were presented. Implications for future research were discussed.
