Although emotional congruence with children (ECWC) is a risk factor for sexual offending against children, its conceptual validity has hardly been researched. This study aims to explore the construct of ECWC by evaluating the factor structure of the Child Identification Scale (CIS-R) and its relation to facets of sexual preference and child sexual abuse behaviors. It was hypothesized that the measure comprises consistent subscales that are differently associated with aspects of sexual preference and sexual offending against children. CIS-R data of a sample of 217 adult male pedophiles from the community were used for an exploratory principal component analysis (PCA). Group comparisons and a multinomial logistic regression analysis were conducted after including a non-pedophilic control group of 22 adult men. PCA revealed a three-factor solution for the CIS-R accounting for 30% of variance. Group comparisons found differences in overall scores and the factor labeled "Attachment to Children" between subgroups of sexual age and gender preference, but not between contact, online, and non-offenders. The regression analysis showed a pedophile sexual preference and the interaction between a hebephile sexual age preference and the factor "Attachment to Children" being associated with past offending behavior. The results indicate a wish to attach to children as core feature of the CIS-R measure assessing ECWC. It is discussed whether this is an inherent feature of pedophilia or rather an independent aspect being differently distinct in pedophiles.
尽管与儿童的情感共鸣（ECWC）是针对儿童性犯罪的一个风险因素，但其概念效度几乎未被研究过。本研究旨在通过评估儿童认同量表（CIS-R）的因素结构及其与性偏好和儿童性虐待行为各方面的关系，来探索ECWC的结构。研究假设该量表包含一致的子量表，这些子量表与性偏好和针对儿童的性犯罪各方面存在不同的关联。来自社区的217名成年男性恋童癖者样本的CIS-R数据被用于探索性主成分分析（PCA）。在纳入22名成年男性的非恋童癖对照组后，进行了组间比较和多项逻辑回归分析。主成分分析揭示了CIS-R的一个三因素解决方案，解释了30%的方差。组间比较发现，在性年龄和性别偏好亚组之间，总分以及标为“对儿童的依恋”的因素存在差异，但在接触性犯罪者、网络性犯罪者和非犯罪者之间没有差异。回归分析表明，恋童癖性偏好以及青春期前恋童癖性年龄偏好与“对儿童的依恋”因素之间的相互作用与过去的犯罪行为有关。结果表明，渴望依恋儿童是评估ECWC的CIS-R量表的核心特征。讨论了这是恋童癖的固有特征还是在恋童癖者中有所不同的独立方面。
