Abstract

IN ENGLISH: In longitudinal studies of pornography use, selective loss of participants who may be more vulnerable to the effects of pornography than their peers is a serious concern. To explore the potential for such selective dropout, we used data from two independent large-scale panel studies of adolescents’ pornography use. Of the three types of attrition-early attrition, later attrition, and gaps in participation-only the first was substantially higher among more vulnerable adolescents, compared with other participants. Panel type (online vs. classroom-based) moderated only the association between vulnerability and participation gaps, which was significant in the classroom-based but not the online panel. Overall, this study’s findings point to the importance of delaying selective dropout by developing a comprehensive plan of action, for which we offer some guidelines. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U longitudinalnim istraživanjima korištenja pornografije značajan potrencijalni problem predstavlja selektivni gubitak upravo sudionika koji bi mogli biti ranjiviji na učinke pornografije od svojih vršnjaka. Kako bismo istražili razmjere takvog selektivnog napuštanja istraživanja koristili smo podatke dva nezavisna velika panel istraživanja korištenja pornografije među adolescentima. Od tri vrste osipanja panela: ranog napuštanja, kasnijeg napuštanja i privremenih prekida u sudjelovanju, samo je prvi oblik bio učestaliji među ranjivijim adolescentima. Vrsta panela (online naspram istraživanja provedenog fizički u razredu) moderirala je vezu između ranjivosti i privremenih prekida u sudjelovanju unutar panela, koje se pokazalo značajno u istraživanju provedenom u razredu, ali ne i unutar online panela. Nalazi ovog rada ukazuju na važnost smanjivanja selektivnog napuštanja istraživanja kroz razvoj sveobuhvatnog plana djelovanja, za što pružamo neke smjernice.
