Abstract
Context: Sexual sensation seeking and sexual compulsivity are two characteristics associated with sexual risk taking and can be studied in different contexts, one of these being that of forensics. Among the different tools used to assess these characteristics, the Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale (SSSS) and the Sexual Compulsivity Scale (SCS) are particularly concise and specific.
Method: This study proposes a French translation of those scales, the fSSSS and the fSCS, validated among a sample of 536 participants from France. Assessments of factor structure, internal consistency and reliability showed good psychometric properties. Convergent and divergent validities were assessed using various forensic-related measures and demonstrated the relevance of both scales in this context.
