Research suggests that adverse rearing conditions such as poor-quality relations with one's parents are associated with a range of potentially problematic sexual behaviors and interests. Less is known, however, about the mechanisms linking adverse rearing conditions and paraphilic interest, especially in non-incarcerated individuals. In a representative sample of 1600 Czech adults that oversampled people with paraphilic interests, the current study examined the association between lower quality parental relations and violent paraphilic interest (sexual interest in immobilization, biastophilia, and sadomasochism), and whether this association was mediated by attachment insecurity. Participants completed an online survey with questions assessing violent paraphilic interest, attachment style, and quality of relations with their parents up until age 12. A series of models were fitted to hypotheses based on structural equation modeling. The model estimating a mediation effect of relationship quality with parents on paraphilic interests via attachment insecurity showed an adequate fit to the data (RMSEA = .039, SRMR = .027, CFI = .977, TLI = .953). Controlling for age and gender, lower parental relationship quality was associated with higher levels of violent paraphilic interest and this effect was mediated by insecure attachment, specifically preoccupied and fearful-avoidant attachment styles. Our findings indicate that insecure attachment styles, particularly those that involve anxiety of rejection, may be part of the mechanism linking poor parental bonds and violent paraphilic interest, but the causal nature of these effects cannot be confirmed based on cross-sectional observational data. We discuss study limitations and new research directions in the discussion section.
研究表明，诸如与父母关系质量差等不良养育条件与一系列潜在的问题性行为和兴趣有关。然而，关于将不良养育条件与性偏好兴趣联系起来的机制，我们所知甚少，尤其是在未被监禁的个体中。在一个对有性偏好兴趣的人进行过抽样的1600名捷克成年人的代表性样本中，本研究考察了较低质量的亲子关系与暴力性偏好兴趣（对束缚、恋尸癖和施虐受虐癖的性兴趣）之间的关联，以及这种关联是否由依恋不安全感介导。参与者完成了一项在线调查，其中的问题评估了暴力性偏好兴趣、依恋风格以及他们12岁之前与父母的关系质量。基于结构方程模型，对一系列假设进行了模型拟合。通过依恋不安全感来估计父母关系质量对性偏好兴趣的中介效应的模型显示与数据拟合良好（RMSEA = 0.039，SRMR = 0.027，CFI = 0.977，TLI = 0.953）。在控制了年龄和性别之后，较低的亲子关系质量与较高水平的暴力性偏好兴趣相关，并且这种效应由不安全依恋介导，特别是痴迷型和恐惧回避型依恋风格。我们的研究结果表明，不安全依恋风格，尤其是那些涉及被拒绝焦虑的风格，可能是将不良亲子关系与暴力性偏好兴趣联系起来的机制的一部分，但基于横断面观察数据无法确定这些效应的因果性质。我们在讨论部分讨论了研究局限性和新的研究方向。
