Although primal scene experiences have been implicated as causal agents in innumerable psychopathologic states, no study of their actual prevalence exists. The authors conducted five separate studies, in which parents reported that 9%-41% of their children had seen parental intercourse. If the times children see parental intercourse without the parents knowing it and the times children hear parents making noises during intercourse were included, the prevalence would be much higher. In view of the frequent occurrence of primal scene experiences, factors other than the viewing itself must influence psychopathological outcomes when they occur.
尽管原初场景体验被认为是无数精神病理状态的致病因素，但尚无关于其实际发生率的研究。作者进行了五项独立研究，父母报告称他们的孩子中有9% - 41%目睹过父母性交。如果将孩子在父母不知情的情况下看到父母性交的次数以及孩子在父母性交时听到父母发出声音的次数包括在内，发生率会高得多。鉴于原初场景体验频繁发生，除了观看本身之外，其他因素在其发生时必定会影响精神病理结果。
