The Screening Scale of Pedophilic Crime Scene Behavior (SSPC) is a seven-item structured rating scale assessing pedophilic sexual arousal. In the current study, we cross-validated the scale's convergent validity using multiple measures of sexual interest in children (clinical diagnosis of pedophilia, the high fixation/low social competence type of the MTC:CM4, and phallometric assessment of sexual interests toward children) in two independent samples (USA and Canada). In both samples and in relation to all three criteria, the SSPC showed acceptable (phallometry) to excellent (clinical assessment) diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the SSPC showed incremental validity in relation to the Screening Scale for Pedophilic Interest and at times outperformed it in convergent validity analyses. The current study also provides psychometric information that can help users choose an appropriate SSPC cutoff score.
性犯罪场景行为筛查量表（SSPC）是一种七项结构评定量表，用于评估恋童癖性唤起。在本研究中，我们使用多种儿童性兴趣的测量方法（恋童癖的临床诊断、MTC：CM4 的高固定/低社交能力类型和对儿童的性兴趣的阴茎测量评估），在两个独立的样本（美国和加拿大）中对该量表的聚合效度进行了交叉验证。在两个样本中，以及与所有三个标准相关的情况下，SSPC 表现出了可接受（阴茎测量）到极好（临床评估）的诊断准确性。此外，SSPC 在与恋童癖兴趣筛查量表的关联中表现出了增量有效性，并且在某些情况下在聚合有效性分析中表现优于后者。本研究还提供了心理计量学信息，可帮助用户选择适当的 SSPC 截断分数。
