There is a relative dearth of research examining normative sexual behavior in Latino preschool children, despite an increased presence of Latinos as a minority population in the United States. To meet this need, a sample of Latino mothers were asked to complete the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI; Friedrich et al., 1992 ) on their preschool-aged children (3 to 5 years old; n = 188). When their children's scores were compared to CSBI normative data, significant differences emerged. Compared to the normative sample, Latino boys and girls scored significantly higher on the sexual abuse specific items subscale, and Latino girls scored significantly higher on the developmentally related sexual behavior subscale. Possible cultural explanations for these elevations are explored.
尽管拉丁裔人口作为少数群体在美国的比例不断增加，但针对拉丁裔学龄前儿童的规范性性行为的研究相对较少。为了满足这一需求，我们要求一些拉丁裔母亲对其学龄前儿童（3 至 5 岁；n = 188）填写儿童性行为量表（CSBI；Friedrich 等人，1992）。当将他们孩子的分数与 CSBI 规范数据进行比较时，出现了显著差异。与规范样本相比，拉丁裔男孩和女孩在性虐待特定项目子量表上的得分显著更高，而拉丁裔女孩在与发育相关的性行为子量表上的得分显著更高。对这些升高的可能文化解释进行了探讨。
