This study examined differences in moral judgment between juvenile sex offenders with and without intellectual disabilities. The Sociomoral Reflection Measure-Short Form (SRM-SF) was used to assess moral judgment, and was extended with questions referring to general sexual situations and to the offenders' abuse victim(s). Juvenile sex offenders with and without ID significantly differed in moral judgment stage regarding general life, sexual and own abuse victim situations. Juvenile sex offenders with ID generally showed stage 2 moral reasoning, which indicated that their justifications for moral decisions were dominated by instrumental and pragmatic reciprocity, whereas juvenile sex offenders without ID used reasons and justifications representing transitional moral stage 2/3 moral judgment, indicating that the maintenance of interpersonal relationships was considered to a certain extent in their justifications for moral decisions. Future research should examine to what extent moral judgment of offenders with ID should be targeted in treatment.
本研究考察了有无智力障碍的青少年性犯罪者在道德判断方面的差异。使用社会道德反思量表-简化版（SRM-SF）评估道德判断，并扩展了涉及一般性情况和犯罪者的虐待受害者的问题。有无智力障碍的青少年性犯罪者在一般生活、性和自己的虐待受害者情况方面的道德判断阶段存在显著差异。有智力障碍的青少年性犯罪者通常表现出第 2 阶段的道德推理，这表明他们对道德决策的理由主要受工具性和实用互惠性的支配，而没有智力障碍的青少年性犯罪者则使用代表过渡道德阶段 2/3 道德判断的理由和依据，表明在他们的道德决策理由中，在一定程度上考虑了人际关系的维持。未来的研究应该探讨在治疗中应在多大程度上针对有智力障碍的犯罪者的道德判断进行干预。
