Sexual offenders, in general, report problematic rearing practices from their parents, lacking however more empirical research on this topic regarding particular subtypes of offenders. The current study examined the relationship between early parenting styles and different types of sexual offending. A total of 113 sexual offenders (rapists, pedophilic and nonpedophilic child molesters), and 51 nonsexual offenders completed the EMBU (My Memories of Upbringing), the Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Socially Desirable Response Set Measure. Results showed that rapists were less likely to remember their fathers as being emotionally warm compared with nonsexual offenders and pedophilic child molesters. In addition, compared with rapists, pedophilic offenders perceived their mothers as having been less emotionally warm to them. Overall, results showed that certain developmental experiences with parents were able to distinguish between subtypes of offenders supporting an association between distal interpersonal factors and sexual offending. These findings may have important implications for early intervention and prevention of sexual crimes. Further research using larger samples of pedophilic child molesters is recommended.
一般来说，性犯罪者报告称其父母的养育方式存在问题，然而，关于这一主题，针对特定类型犯罪者的实证研究却较为匮乏。当前的研究考察了早期养育方式与不同类型性犯罪之间的关系。共有113名性犯罪者（强奸犯、恋童癖和非恋童癖儿童性骚扰者）以及51名非性犯罪者完成了父母养育方式问卷（EMBU）、简明症状量表和社会期望反应量表的测试。结果显示，与非性犯罪者和恋童癖儿童性骚扰者相比，强奸犯不太可能记得自己的父亲在情感上是温暖的。此外，与强奸犯相比，恋童癖犯罪者认为自己的母亲在情感上对他们不够温暖。总体而言，结果表明与父母的某些成长经历能够区分不同类型的犯罪者，这支持了远端人际因素与性犯罪之间的关联。这些发现可能对性犯罪的早期干预和预防具有重要意义。建议使用更大样本的恋童癖儿童性骚扰者进行进一步研究。
