Despite the important focus on the notion of cognitive distortions in the sexual offending area, the relevance of underlying cognitive schemas in sexual offenders has also been suggested. The aim of the present study was to investigate a potential relationship between Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMSs) and cognitive distortions in rapists. A total of 33 men convicted for rape completed the Bumby Rape Scale (BRS), the Young Schema Questionnaire - Short form-3 (YSQ-S3), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and the Socially Desirable Response Set Measure (SDRS-5). Results showed a significant relationship between the impaired limits schematic domain and the Justifying Rape dimension of the BRS. Specifically, after controlling for psychological distress levels and social desirability tendency, the entitlement/grandiosity schema from the impaired limits domain was a significant predictor of cognitive distortions related to Justifying Rape themes. Overall, despite preliminary, there is some evidence that the Young's Schema-Focused model namely the impaired limits dimension may contribute for the conceptualization of cognitive distortions in rapists and further investigation is recommended.
尽管在性犯罪领域对认知扭曲概念给予了重要关注，但也有人提出潜在的认知模式在性犯罪者中的相关性。本研究的目的是调查早期适应不良模式（EMSs）与强奸犯认知扭曲之间的潜在关系。共有33名被判强奸罪的男性完成了邦比强奸量表（BRS）、青年模式问卷简表-3（YSQ-S3）、简明症状量表（BSI）和社会期望反应集测量（SDRS-5）。结果显示，受损极限模式领域与BRS的强奸合理化维度之间存在显著关系。具体而言，在控制了心理困扰水平和社会期望倾向后，受损极限领域的权利/夸大模式是与强奸合理化主题相关的认知扭曲的重要预测因素。总体而言，尽管是初步的，但有一些证据表明，以杨氏模式为重点的模型，即受损极限维度，可能有助于对强奸犯认知扭曲的概念化，建议进一步研究。
