Abstract
This study adds two possible extensions to a previously supported model by proposing a serial mediation model with religiosity, moral disapproval, and perceived addiction mediating the relationship between childhood household religiosity and sexual shame. The 358 participants are a subset of a larger study examining romantic partner relationship satisfaction and pornography use. Participants included men and women who indicated intentionally viewing pornography within the six months prior to their participation. Though the total effect of childhood household religiosity on sexual shame was not significant, the serial mediation model was supported. Limitations, implications, and suggestions for further research are discussed.
