Инфодемический думскроллинг и проблемы сексуальной удовлетворенности у женщин
Introduction. The pandemic and infodemic caused by COVID-19 have had an impact not
only on the activities, but also on the intimate lives of people. Against the background of
non-chemical addictions, which, in particular, include dependence on social networks,
information neurosis and doomscrolling, there is a need to overcome physiological and
psychological problems in sexual life. In women, sex can be used as a regulation of the
degree of attachment to a sexual partner, focusing on his needs more than on their own,
in order to maintain the stability of the relationship.
Purpose. To find the relationship between the manifestations of infodemic doomscrolling
and the sexual satisfaction of women in partnerships.
Materials and methods. The study, which was conducted in November 2022 in an online
survey using the Yandex.Toloka service, involved 609 women (average age of respondents
M =39.03; SD=10.60). The methodological toolkit consisted of two blocks. The first block
of methods was aimed at studying the manifestations of doomscrolling (DS) and fear of
lost profits (FoMO), the second block was aimed at studying the sexual satisfaction of the
surveyed. Additionally, the respondents’ personal profile was determined. The data was
processed using the SPSS 19.0 program.
Results. The results of the study confirmed the close links between the degree of doom
scrolling and dependence on social networks with the frequency and motivation of sexual
satisfaction simulation.
