ABSTRACT
Deficits in cognitive empathy (CE) have been associated with a child sexual offense (CSO) history in paedophilia. However, these results have been obtained in cross-sectional comparison. There are no longitudinal studies yet. We performed a longitudinal study with a 3-year interval and investigated CE and emotional empathy (EE) using the Multifaceted Empathy Test (MET) and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) in paedophilic men with a CSO history (P + CSO), paedophilic men without a CSO history (P-CSO), and non-offending teleiophilic male controls (TC). Results were stable and confirmed cross-sectional data with evidence for higher CE as measured by the MET in P-CSO compared to P + CSO. Evidence for more distress in social situations as measured by the IRI was found in P-CSO compared to TC, only. Our results highlight the importance of addressing multiple aspects of empathy in paedophilia and CSO and support the inclusion of CE training in the prevention of CSO.

恋童癖和对儿童的性侵犯的同理心:纵向延伸
摘要
认知移情(CE)缺陷与恋童癖中的儿童性犯罪(CSO)史有关。然而,这些结果是在横截面比较中获得的。目前还没有纵向研究。我们进行了一项为期 3 年的纵向研究,并使用多方面移情测试 (MET) 和人际反应指数 (IRI) 在有 CSO 历史 (P + CSO)、恋童癖的恋童癖男性中调查了 CE 和情感移情 (EE)没有 CSO 病史的男性 (P-CSO) 和非冒犯性偏爱男性对照 (TC)。结果是稳定且经证实的横截面数据,有证据表明与 P + CSO 相比,P-CSO 中的 MET 测量的 CE 更高。与 TC 相比,仅在 P-CSO 中发现了 IRI 衡量的社会情境中更多痛苦的证据。
