Sexual abuse in childhood is frequently reported among sex offenders and has been hypothesized to be one of a number of psychological factors etiologically related to perpetration of child molestation in adulthood.

description Sexual abuse in childhood is frequently reported among sex offenders and has been hypothesized to be one of a number of psychological factors etiologically related to perpetration of child molestation in adulthood. In the current study we examine a sample of cleric and noncleric admitted child molesters and normal control subjects in their exposure to sexual abuse in childhood and current psychopathology. Odds ratios for the association between exposure to sexual abuse and child molestation were obtained while adjusting for group differences in demographic and psychological characteristics. Results indicated exposure to sexual abuse in childhood was associated with becoming a child molester for both cleric and noncleric offenders ( p < .0002). Nonclerics indicated more severe psychopathology than clerics. Sexual abuse in childhood is one of many risk factors for becoming a perpetrator of child molestation in adulthood for both cleric and noncleric child molesters. Noncleric offenders demonstrated more sociopathy and mental disorder in general while cleric offenders indicated more sexual conflictedness, suggesting different psychoetiologies of offending among cleric and noncleric child molesters. Les agresseurs sexuels rapportent souvent avoir été eux-mêmes victimes d'abus sexuels, et on présume que ceci explique, parmi d'autres facteurs psychologiques, pourquoi les adultes agressent les enfants. Dans cette étude, les auteurs ont examiné un échantillon d'agresseurs laïques et d'agresseurs dans les ordres ainsi que des sujets normaux, par rapport à leurs expériences en enfance et leur psychopathologie courante. On a pu obtenir des taux de probabilités au niveau des expériences d'agression sexuelle en enfance et des comportements sexuels agressifs en âge adulte, tout en manipulant les facteurs démographiques et les caractéristiques psychologiques. Les résultats indiquent que les expériences d'agression sexuelle en enfance son reliées à l'incidence de comportements sexuels agressifs adultes tant dans le cas des religieux que des autres. Les laïques démontrent une plus grande psychopathologie que les religieux. D'avoir été abusé sexuellement en enfance représente un parmi plusieurs facteurs portant à devenir agresseur sexuel adulte, tant pour les religieux que les laïques. Les laïques démontrent plus de sociopathie et de désordres mentaux en général, alors que les religieux indiquent un plus haut niveau de conflits sexuels, ce qui porte à croire qu'il existe de

Con frecuencia, los abusadores sexuales informan que en su infancia fueron víctimas de abusos sexuales, y se ha hipoteizado que éste puede ser uno de los varios factores psicológicos relacionados etiológicamente con la comisión de actos de abuso sexual hacia niños/as en el estado adulto. En este estudio, se examinó una muestra formada por sujetos clérigos y laicos que habían reconocido haber cometido actos de abuso sexual hacia niños/as, y sujetos control normales. Se recogió información de los sujetos sobre la posibilidad de haber sido victima de abuso sexual en su infancia y sobre el estado psicopatológico actual. Una vez controladas las diferencias entre grupos en las caracteristicas demográficas y psicológicas, se obtuvieron datos sobre la frecuencia de la asociación entre la experimentación de abusos sexuales en la infancia y la comisión de actos de abuso sexual en el estado adulto. Los resultados indicaron que la experimentación de abusos sexuales en la infancia estaba asociada con convertirse en un abusador sexual tanto en los abusadores clérigos como en los laicos ( p &lt; .0002). Los laicos presentaban una psicopatología más grave que los clérigos. El abuso sexual en la infancia es uno de los muchos factores de riesgo para convertirse en un abusador sexual de menores en el estado adulto, tanto en el caso de abusadores clérigos como laicos. Los abusadores laicos presentaban más sociopatías y trastornos mentales en general, mientras que los abusadores clérigos presentaban más conflictos sexuales, lo que sugiere que entre los abusadores sexuales infantiles clérigos y laicos hay dierentes etiologias psicológicas.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0145-2134</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1873-7757</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/S0145-2134(96)00118-4</identifier><identifier>PMID: 8985613</identifier><identifier>CODEN: CABND3</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Elsevier Ltd</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Adult and adolescent clinical studies ; Adults ; Biological and medical sciences ; Child ; Child Abuse ; Child abuse &amp; neglect ; Child Abuse - psychology ; Child Abuse - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Child molestation ; Clergy ; Clergy - psychology ; Clergy - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Cleric sexual misconduct ; Criminals ; Cycle of abuse ; Emotional Development ; Etiology ; Female ; Gender Identity ; Humans ; Illinois - epidemiology ; Male ; Medical sciences ; Mental disorders ; Mental Disorders - epidemiology ; Mental Disorders - psychology ; Middle Aged ; MMPI - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Pedophilia - epidemiology ; Pedophilia - psychology ; Predictor Variables ; Psychology ; Psychology.

Dans cette étude, les auteurs ont examiné un échantillon d'agresseurs laïques et d'agresseurs dans les ordres ainsi que des sujets normaux, par rapport à leurs expériences en enfance et leur psychopathologie courante. On a pu obtenir des taux de probabilités au niveau des expériences d'agression sexuelle en enfance et des comportements sexuels agressifs en âge adulte, tout en manipulant les facteurs démographiques et les caractéristiques psychologiques. Les résultats indiquent que les expériences d'agression sexuelle en enfance son reliées à l'incidence de comportements sexuels agressifs adultes tant dans le cas des religieux que des autres. Les laïques démontrent une plus grande psychopathologie que les religieux. D'avoir été abusé sexuellement en enfance représente un parmi plusieurs facteurs portant à devenir agresseur sexuel adulte, tant pour les religieux que les laïques. Les laïques démontrent plus de sociopathie et de désordres mentaux en général, alors que les religieux indiquent un plus haut niveau de conflits sexuels, ce qui porte à croire qu'il existe des étiologies à caractère psychologique qui sont différentes parmi les deux groupes d'agresseurs. Con frecuencia, los abusadores sexuales informan que en su infancia fueron víctimas de abusos sexuales, y se ha hipoteizado que éste puede ser uno de los varios factores psicológicos relacionados etiológicamente con la comisión de actos de abuso sexual hacia niños/as en el estado adulto. En este estudio, se examinó una muestra formada por sujetos clérigos y laicos que habían reconocido haber cometido actos de abuso sexual hacia niños/as, y sujetos control normales. Se recogió información de los sujetos sobre la posibilidad de haber sido victima de abuso sexual en su infancia y sobre el estado psicopatológico actual. Una vez controladas las diferencias entre grupos en las caracteristicas demográficas y psicológicas, se obtuvieron datos sobre la frecuencia de la asociación entre la experimentación de abusos sexuales en la infancia y la comisión de actos de abuso sexual en el estado adulto. Los resultados indicaron que la experimentación de abusos sexuales en la infancia estaba asociada con convertirse en un abusador sexual tanto en los abusadores clérigos como en los laicos ( p &lt; .0002). Los laicos presentaban una psicopatología más grave que los clérigos. El abuso sexual en la infancia es uno de los muchos factores de riesgo para convertirse en un abusador sexual de menores en el estado adulto, tanto en el caso de abusadores clérigos como laicos. Los abusadores laicos presentaban más sociopatías y trastornos mentales en general, mientras que los abusadores clérigos presentaban más conflictos sexuales, lo que sugiere que entre los abusadores sexuales infantiles clérigos y laicos hay dierentes etiologias psicológicas.</abstract><cop>Oxford</cop><cop>New York, NY</cop><pub>Elsevier Ltd</pub><pmid>8985613</pmid><doi>10.1016/S0145-2134(96)00118-4</doi><tpages>11</tpages></addata></record>
