有人认为,儿童性虐待与对父母的依恋不良有关,而父母依恋不良又与无法建立亲密关系有关。 Seto 和 Lalumiere 指出,针对青春期男性的研究太少,无法确定不良依恋是否与犯罪有关。本研究旨在跟进之前的一项研究,并进一步探讨对父母的不安全依恋、社会孤立和人际交往充分性与青少年儿童性虐待行为之间的关系。我们将两个实施性犯罪的青春期男性样本、对儿童实施犯罪的样本(n = 140)和对同龄人或成年人实施犯罪的样本(n = 92)与接受心理健康或药物使用问题治疗的年龄相近的男性样本(n = 93)进行了比较。使用半结构化访谈和计算机管理的问卷收集数据。我们发现,焦虑依恋与针对儿童受害者的性犯罪之间存在间接关联,这是通过社会参与和社会孤立的衡量标准来解释的。这些参与和隔离措施也与针对儿童受害者的性犯罪没有直接关系,因为它们的贡献是通过男性充足性衡量标准来衡量的。这种男性的充足性,加上性专注和性欲亢进水平的下降以及性强迫性的增加,与儿童性虐待的发生有关。人际变量没有进入预测对同龄人/成年人的性犯罪的模型,这似乎仅与性强迫症和性欲亢进之间的相互作用有关。
It has been suggested that child sexual abuse is related to poor attachment to parents, which is associated with an inability to form intimate relationships. Seto and Lalumiere indicated that there were too few studies of adolescent males to determine whether poor attachment was associated with perpetration. This study was designed to follow up on a previous study and further explored the association between insecure attachment to parents, social isolation, and interpersonal adequacy to child sexual abuse perpetration in adolescents. We compared two samples of adolescent males who had committed sexual offenses, those who committed offenses against children (n = 140) and those who committed offenses against peer or adults (n = 92), with a sample of similarly aged males in treatment for mental health or substance use issues (n = 93). Data were collected using a semi-structured interview and computer-administered questionnaire. We found an indirect association between anxious attachment and sexual offenses against child victims, which was accounted for by measures of social involvement and social isolation. These involvement and isolation measures also did not have a direct association with sexual offenses against child victims, in that their contribution was accounted for by a measure of Masculine Adequacy. This Masculine Adequacy, combined with decreased levels of Sexual Preoccupation and Hypersexuality and increased Sexual Compulsivity, was associated with commission of child sexual abuse. The interpersonal variables did not enter a model predicting sexual offending against peers/adults, which seemed solely associated with the interaction between Sexual Compulsivity and Hypersexuality.
