Abstract

Research investigating paedo-hebepho-ephebophilic sexual interests, a spectrum of atypical sexual interests toward minors under the age of 16 years old, has largely focused on men samples, while little is known about women. The present study aimed to contribute to this area by investigating the relationship between measures of experienced childhood trauma, empathy (dispositional as well as towards children), loneliness, intimacy, and paedo-hebepho-ephebophilic sexual interests or antisocial behaviour involving children in a community sample of 304 women - from the UK, Canada and USA - recruited through an online survey. Results revealed that between .7% (N = 2) and 4.6% (N = 14) reported different paedo-hebepho-ephebophilic sexual interests. Multiple regression analysis revealed that experiences of emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, empathy towards victims, and empathic concern were significant predictors of paedo-hebepho-ephebophilic sexual interests. These results have several implications that will be discussed in this paper.

调查来自英国、加拿大和美国的社区样本中女性的性兴趣和潜在的相关性。

调查恋童癖（pado - hebephoi - ephebophic）性兴趣的研究主要集中在男性样本上，而对女性知之甚少。恋童癖是对16岁以下未成年人的非典型性兴趣。目前的研究旨在通过调查经历过的童年创伤、同理心（性情以及对儿童的态度）、孤独、亲密、恋童癖、恋童癖的性兴趣或涉及儿童的反社会行为之间的关系，为这一领域做出贡献。研究对象是来自英国、加拿大和美国的304名妇女，她们通过在线调查招募了这些妇女。结果显示两者之间。7% （N = 2）和4.6% （N = 14）报告了不同的恋童癖-嗜恋癖-嗜恋癖性兴趣。多元回归分析显示，情绪虐待、身体虐待、性虐待、身体忽视、对受害者的共情和共情关怀是恋童癖- hebephop - epheophic性兴趣的显著预测因子。这些结果有几个含义，将在本文中讨论。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
