Research has indicated a positive correlation between pornography use and loneliness; however,

with only six published studies to date, more research is required. This study used the extant

literature on the relationship between internet use and loneliness to inform the current study since

internet use and pornography use are similar constructs, especially in individuals' use of both to

avoid negative emotions and social interactions. Further, social anxiety has been shown in the

internet use literature to be a confounder in the relationship between internet use and loneliness,

making social anxiety a major variable to consider in the relationship between pornography use

and loneliness. This study sought to support the current literature by exploring the relationship

between social anxiety and internet use and the relationship between pornography use and

loneliness and extend the literature by investigating whether internet use mediates the

relationship between social anxiety and loneliness. Additionally, as the relationship between

social anxiety and pornography use has not be researched to date, the current study explored this

relationship including whether pornography use mediated the relationship between social anxiety

and loneliness. Lastly, this study measured whether avoidance moderated the relationship

between social anxiety and pornography use. The results indicated that, as hypothesized, social

anxiety and internet use were positively correlated, but that internet use did not mediate the

relationship between social anxiety and loneliness. The results also showed, as hypothesized, that

social anxiety and pornography use were positively correlated and pornography use and

loneliness were positive correlated. Finally, the results indicated that pornography use weakly

mediated the relationship between social anxiety and loneliness. The moderated mediation

analysis was not significant for avoidance.
