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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
