DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Importance: A major obstacle to developing prevention programs for child sexual abuse is lack of information about its causes and correlates, especially in young offenders. We propose to continue our development of models for understanding sexual abuse perpetration by determining whether factors that distinguish sexual abuse perpetration from delinquent behavior are unique risk factors or causes and correlates of internalizing disorders in youth. Objectives: Aim 1: Determine the generalizability and applicability of a model of child sexual abuse perpetration based in attachment theory. Aim 2: Determine whether hostile masculinity, masculine adequacy, and an impersonal attitude toward sexuality are specific risk factors for sexual aggression. Aim 3: Expand our understanding of how attachment style confers risk for sexual abuse or sexual assault perpetration by including developmental and parental relationship data from primary caregivers. Seven specific hypotheses will be tested. Our central hypothesis is that child sexual abuse perpetration has both unique and shared risk factors with adolescent internalizing disorders and that the causes and correlates of sexual assault differ from those for child sexual abuse perpetration. Participants: We will recruit from probation and treatment programs to enroll male adolescents (n=400), 13-18 years old, who have either sexual abused a child, sexually assaulted a peer or adult, perpetrated a non-contact sex offense (e.g., exposing, voyeurism), or are being seen by a professional for a mental health or substance use disorder. Primary caregivers (n=200) of the adolescents will be recruited from community based sites. Design: This study uses a multi-method, cross-sectional design. Data will be collected from the four groups of adolescents and their primary caregivers by use of chart reviews, interviews, computer-administered self-report protocol, and blind ratings of the History of Attachments Interview. Setting: This project is a continuation of a successful collaboration between researchers at the University of Minnesota's Program in Human Sexuality, treatment providers, juvenile justice agencies, and residential placement agencies.

重要性：制定儿童性虐待预防方案的一个主要障碍是缺乏有关其原因和相关因素的信息，特别是在年轻罪犯中。 我们建议继续开发模型，通过确定将性虐待犯罪与犯罪行为区分开来的因素是否是独特的风险因素或原因， 与年轻人内在化障碍的相关性。 目的：目的1：确定的普遍性和适用性的依恋理论为基础的儿童性虐待犯下的模型。 目标二：确定敌对的男子气概，男子气概充足，以及对性行为的客观态度是否是性侵犯的特定风险因素。 目标3：扩大我们对依恋风格如何赋予性虐待或性侵犯风险的理解 通过包括来自主要照顾者的发育和父母关系数据来确定犯罪。将检验七个具体假设。我们的中心假设是，儿童性虐待犯罪既有独特的和共享的风险因素与青少年内化障碍，性侵犯的原因和相关因素不同于儿童性虐待犯罪。 参会人员：我们将从缓刑和治疗计划中招募13-18岁的男性青少年（n=400），他们要么对儿童进行性虐待，要么对同龄人或成年人进行性侵犯，要么犯下非接触性犯罪（例如，暴露，偷窥狂），或正在被专业人士视为精神健康或物质使用障碍。将从社区站点招募青少年的主要照顾者（n=200）。 设计：本研究采用多方法、横断面设计。将通过使用图表审查、访谈、计算机管理的自我报告方案和对青少年历史访谈的盲法评级，从四组青少年及其主要照顾者中收集数据。 设定：该项目是明尼苏达大学人类性行为项目研究人员、治疗提供者、少年司法机构和住宅安置机构之间成功合作的延续。
