The main purpose of the study was to explore the child sexual behaviors that Italian teachers have observed in the school context. A representative sample of 227 children, from 5 to 10 years old, was rated by their teachers through the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory. Frequencies of sexual behaviors among children aged 5 to 6, 7 to 8, and 9 to 10 are presented. Younger children showed a broader range of sexual behaviors that decrease with the growing age, such as males in comparison to females. Moreover, findings showed that child sexual behavior is not only related to age and gender but also to family characteristics. These results suggested that child sexual behaviors reported by teachers through the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory may provide useful information about the development of children's sexuality. The knowledge of age appropriate sexual behaviors can help teachers discern normal sexual behaviors from problematic sexual behaviors.
该研究的主要目的是探索意大利教师在学校环境中观察到的儿童性行为。通过儿童性行为量表,对227名年龄在5至10岁的具有代表性的儿童样本进行教师评分。呈现了5至6岁、7至8岁和9至10岁儿童性行为的频率。年龄较小的儿童表现出更广泛的性行为,随着年龄增长而减少,比如男性相较于女性。此外,研究结果表明儿童性行为不仅与年龄和性别有关,还与家庭特征有关。这些结果表明,教师通过儿童性行为量表报告的儿童性行为可能为儿童性发育提供有用信息。了解适合年龄的性行为有助于教师区分正常性行为和有问题的性行为。
