ABSTRACT

Although paraphilic interests represent significant risk factors for recidivism among sexual offenders, little is known about the magnitude of concordance between paraphilic interests and behaviors in the general population. The goal of this follow-up study was to conduct secondary analyses based on a sample of 1040 adults (475 men; 565 women) recruited in the general population. Levels of associations and active concordance (having both interest and experience), passive concordance (having neither interest nor experience), active discordance (having experience without interest) and passive discordance (having interest without experience) between paraphilic interest and corresponding behavior were assessed. Concordance and discordance indexes were also computed, as well as regressions and moderation analyses. As expected, paraphilic interests predicted corresponding behaviors, although the mean active concordance rate was only approximately 50%. Concordance rates varied with gender and the criminal nature (legal vs. illegal) of paraphilia. Paraphilic interests in adults from the general population may not have the same predictive value as that observed in medico-legal contexts. The possible role of other moderators in the concordance between paraphilic interest and behavior in non-clinical populations should be assessed. These findings have implications for sexual abuse prevention programs aiming at individuals in the community.

摘要

尽管嗜好性倾向是性犯罪者累犯的重要风险因素，但人们对嗜好性嗜好与普通人群行为之间的一致性程度知之甚少。这项后续研究的目的是根据在一般人群中招募的 1040 名成年人（475 名男性；565 名女性）样本进行二次分析。评估了嗜好与相应行为之间的关联水平和主动一致性（既有兴趣也有经验）、被动一致性（既没有兴趣也没有经验）、主动不一致（有经验但没有兴趣）和被动不一致（有兴趣但没有经验）。还计算了一致性和不一致指数，以及回归和适度分析。正如预期的那样，paraphilic 兴趣预测相应的行为，尽管平均主动一致性率仅为约 50%。一致性率因性别和性欲倒错的犯罪性质（合法与非法）而异。普通人群中成人的性反常兴趣可能与在医学法律环境中观察到的预测价值不同。应评估其他调节者在非临床人群的嗜好性兴趣和行为之间的一致性方面的可能作用。这些发现对针对社区个人的性虐待预防计划有影响。普通人群中成人的性反常兴趣可能与在医学法律环境中观察到的预测价值不同。应评估其他调节者在非临床人群的嗜好性兴趣和行为之间的一致性方面的可能作用。这些发现对针对社区个人的性虐待预防计划有影响。普通人群中成人的性反常兴趣可能与在医学法律环境中观察到的预测价值不同。应评估其他调节者在非临床人群的嗜好性兴趣和行为之间的一致性方面的可能作用。这些发现对针对社区个人的性虐待预防计划有影响。
