Abstract

Abstract Little research exists on how partners of sex offenders are perceived. Using attachment theory, we hypothesised that one's attachment would generalise to perceptions of sexual offenders and their partners. One hundred and six British adults’ attachment styles were assessed, as well as perceptions of sex offenders and their partners. Generally, perceivers’ attachment avoidance was associated with positive perceptions of both partners and offenders, while attachment anxiety was associated with negative perceptions of partners but positive perceptions of sex offenders. Perceptions of sex offenders and their partners were highly correlated and negative in nature, and sex offenders were more negatively perceived.

性犯罪者伴侣知觉:与性犯罪者知觉相关并受依恋影响

摘要关于性犯罪者的伴侣是如何被感知的研究很少。利用依恋理论，我们假设一个人的依恋会概括为对性犯罪者及其伴侣的看法。对116名英国成年人的依恋风格以及对性犯罪者及其伴侣的看法进行了评估。一般来说，感知者的依恋回避与对伴侣和罪犯的积极感知有关，而依恋焦虑与对伴侣的消极感知有关，但与对性罪犯的积极认知有关。对性犯罪者及其伴侣的认知具有高度相关性和负面性质，对性犯罪的认知更为负面。
