Sexual Attitudes and Characteristics of OnlyFans Users.

As new forms of sexually explicit material (SEM) platforms emerge, sex research and sexuality-based studies must also evolve. Although the subscription-based platform OnlyFans has become an increasingly popular way for content creators to share and access SEM, the demographic information and sexual attitudes of users across sex have not yet been reported. The present study contributes to the existing body of SEM literature by providing a demographic analysis of OnlyFans users and an assessment of sexual attitudes between users and nonusers across sex. In this study, participants from a US-based sample (n = 718, Mage = 29.46, male [n = 335, 46.7%], female [n = 383, 53.3%]) were solicited using the Mechanical Turk platform. Participants were predominately White (n = 475, 66.2%); additional representation of ethnic/racial groups included Black/African-American (n = 121; 16.9%), American Indian/Alaskan Native (n = 10; 1.4%), Asian-American/Asian (n = 32; 4.4%), Hispanic/Latinx (n = 53; 7.3%), Arab American/Arab (n = 10; 1.4%), and biracial or multiracial (n = 17; 2.4%). Based on our findings, OnlyFans users were predominantly married, white, males who identified as heterosexual or bisexual/pansexual. Our findings also revealed that OnlyFans users and nonusers endorsed similar sexual attitudes related to permissiveness, communion, instrumentality, and birth control across sex. Findings from this study may be helpful for future studies on OnlyFans and other forms of subscription-based platforms.

Assessing Bayesian Racism Scale: Measuring Endorsement of Racial Stereotypes.

Bayesian racism is the belief that it is rational to discriminate against people based on existing racial stereotypes. The presence of Bayesian racism is strongly associated with negative feelings about minoritized groups and the desire to maintain racially inequitable social hierarchies. A confirmatory factor analysis on the Bayesian Racism Scale (BRS) yielded a unidimensional measure for assessing prejudicial attitudes that endorse stereotypes based on racial and ethnic groups. Findings from the study have important implications for multicultural and social justice research.

Development and evaluation of a Spanish-language version of the Relational Health Indices.

We reported the development and evaluation of a Spanish-language version of the Relational Health Indices (RHI; Liang et al., 2002) for use in clinical and research settings. Participants were 348 men and women from international (n = 201) and domestic (n = 147) locations who were heritage Spanish speakers. A multistage translation of the RHI is described as well as the procedure used to evaluate the internal structure of the translated assessment. The results indicated a modest 3-factor structure, χ2(628) = 1397.16, p < .001; comparative fit index (CFI) = .86, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = .85, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .06 for the amigo (peer), mentor (mentor), and comunidad (community) subscales that has practical implications for treatment planning, outcome evaluation, and program development. Implications for counseling practice and future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

Assessing the relationship between therapeutic goal attainment and psychosocial characteristics for adolescents in crisis residence.

BACKGROUND: Adolescents in need of hospitalization often present with chronic and severe forms of psychopathology, placing the adolescent or someone else in danger. Extant research is limited related to the relationship of client symptoms and diagnoses to therapeutic goal attainment. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between therapeutic goal attainment to symptomatology for adolescents in acute care psychiatric hospitalization. METHOD: Four canonical correlations were conducted utilizing the set of subscales for the Goal Attainment Scale of Stabilization (GASS) with each set of subscales for the (a) Suicide Probability Scale (SPS), (b) Target Symptom Rating (TSR), (c) Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A), and (d) Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). RESULTS: A statistically significant relationship was found between GASS subscales and the TSR subscales. The first canonical root was significant, λ = 0.89, F(4, 232) = 3.55, p = 0.008, accounting for 11% (r(c) = 0.33) of the overlapping variance. CONCLUSIONS: Psychiatric symptoms appear to contribute to therapeutic goal attainment. For counselors working with adolescents in crisis residence, familiarity with client issues that promote or inhibit therapeutic progress may be helpful.
