The extent to which three professional groups (law enforcement officers, licensing personnel, and sex educators/counselors) utilize legally relevant criteria when assessing the sexual abuse of an adult with mental retardation was examined. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions that varied in terms of the ability of a woman with mental retardation to understand concepts involving the nature and consequences and right of volition in a sexual relationship. The results indicated significant effects for both treatment condition and group. Thus, more explicit, standardized criteria should be developed for professionals to utilize when assessing consent involving possible sexual abuse of adults with mental retardation.
研究了三个专业群体（执法人员、执照颁发人员以及性教育工作者/顾问）在评估成年智障人士遭受性虐待时使用法律相关标准的程度。受试者被随机分配到四种实验条件之一，这些条件在一名智障女性理解涉及性关系中性质、后果及意志权利等概念的能力方面存在差异。结果表明，治疗条件和群体都有显著影响。因此，应为专业人员在评估涉及成年智障人士可能遭受性虐待的同意情况时制定更明确、标准化的标准。
