Intrusive sexual behaviors (ISBs) are a specific type of problematic sexual behavior characterized by the invasive nature of the acts (e.g., touching others' private parts, attempting intercourse; Friedrich, 1997). The limited amount of research on ISBs has focused on sexual abuse history as the primary predictor. However, Friedrich, Davies, Feher, and Wright (2003) found that ISBs in children up to age 12 were related to four broad conceptual factors: (a) exposure to sexual content, (b) exposure to violent behavior, (c) family adversity, and (d) child vulnerabilities. The current study sought to replicate Friedrich's study using a clinical sample of 217 preschool-aged children (ages two to six). Results supported variables from within the child vulnerabilities construct (externalizing behaviors, β= 0.032, p = 0.001), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) criteria met (β = 0.177, p = 0.02), and an inverse relationship with age (β = -0.206, p = 0.024). These results highlight the importance of considering childhood behavioral patterns and reactivity to traumatic events as correlates of ISBs in young children.
侵入性性行为（ISB）是一种特定类型的问题性行为，其特征为行为的侵犯性（例如，触摸他人的隐私部位，试图性交；Friedrich，1997）。对 ISB 的有限研究主要集中在性虐待史作为主要预测因素。然而，Friedrich、Davies、Feher 和 Wright（2003）发现，12 岁以下儿童的 ISB 与四个广泛的概念因素有关：（a）接触性内容，（b）接触暴力行为，（c）家庭逆境，以及（d）儿童脆弱性。本研究试图使用 217 名学龄前儿童（2 至 6 岁）的临床样本复制 Friedrich 的研究。结果支持儿童脆弱性结构内的变量（外化行为，β=0.032，p=0.001），符合创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）标准（β=0.177，p=0.02），与年龄呈负相关（β=-0.206，p=0.024）。这些结果强调了考虑儿童行为模式和对创伤性事件的反应作为幼儿 ISB 的相关性的重要性。
