Summary: Reward based learning is considered to be fundamental in the development and maintenance of addictive behavior. This study aims to investigate the impact of conditioned Pavlovian stimulus on sexual compulsivity. The results showed that individuals with high online sexual behavior (OSB) had stronger responses to reward stimuli, but the difference compared to low OSB individuals was not significant. High OSB was negatively correlated with inhibitory control and reward sensitivity. Further research should explore the effects of aversive conditioning on high OSB individuals.

Summary: The study identifies that the personality trait of neuroticism is consistently associated with Internet Addiction, with a proposed theoretical model suggesting a complex relationship where neuroticism predicts Internet Addiction, leading to various health-related consequences. The model also considers mediating factors like coping styles and maladaptive cognitions, as well as moderating factors like gender, age, and social context. This proposed theoretical model aims to pave the way for future longitudinal research on the impact of Internet Addiction in neurotic individuals and potentially inform public health policies.
