According to the sexually abused-abuser hypothesis, childhood sexual victimization (CSV) among males increases the likelihood of later sexual offending against children. Why CSV is related to sexual offending against children, however, has yet to be determined. To explore mechanisms that may link CSV to sexual offending, we tested the relationship between CSV and the two main risk domains: pedophilic interest and antisocial orientation. In four studies, men convicted of sexual offences against children under 15 who reported experiencing CSV were generally more sexually interested in children-especially male children-and were more antisocial than those who did not report experiencing CSV. A meta-analysis of the results across our four studies showed that CSV was moderately associated with greater antisociality, but less so with pedophilic interests. Future research should test the extent to which pedophilic interest and antisocial orientation explain the relationship between CSV and sexual offending against children among convicted sexual offenders.
根据性虐待-施虐者假说，男性童年期性受害经历（CSV）会增加其日后对儿童实施性犯罪的可能性。然而，CSV与针对儿童的性犯罪之间为何存在关联，目前尚未确定。为了探究可能将CSV与性犯罪联系起来的机制，我们测试了CSV与两个主要风险领域之间的关系：恋童癖兴趣和反社会倾向。在四项研究中，因对15岁以下儿童实施性犯罪而被定罪且报告有CSV经历的男性，总体上对儿童（尤其是男童）的性兴趣更强，且比未报告有CSV经历的男性更具反社会性。对我们四项研究结果的荟萃分析表明，CSV与更强的反社会性存在中度关联，但与恋童癖兴趣的关联较弱。未来的研究应测试恋童癖兴趣和反社会倾向在多大程度上能够解释已定罪性犯罪者中CSV与针对儿童的性犯罪之间的关系。
