Causal attributions for their offending, and for sexual arousal and sexual behaviour, were investigated for 50 males convicted of child sex offences. These attributions were compared with those obtained from 150 males convicted of one of three other criminal offences: rape, property offences and violent offences against persons. In semi-structured interviews, the Offence and Sexual Arousal and Behaviour Attribution Questionnaires were administered. Offenders offered causal attributions for their offending and for their sexual arousal, and they rated these causes on attribution dimensions. Results showed that child sex offenders attributed both their offending and their sexual arousal to internal, stable and uncontrollable causes. Rapists and property offenders attributed their offending behaviour to external, stable and uncontrollable causes; and violent offenders to internal, stable and uncontrollable causes. In contrast to child sex offenders, the other three groups all attributed their sexual arousal and sexual behaviour to external, unstable and controllable causes. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for intervention programmes.
对50名被判犯有儿童性犯罪的男性，调查了他们对犯罪行为、性唤起和性行为的因果归因。将这些归因与从150名被判犯有其他三种刑事犯罪之一的男性那里获得的归因进行比较，这三种犯罪分别是：强奸罪、财产犯罪和针对他人的暴力犯罪。在半结构化访谈中，实施了《犯罪及性唤起与行为归因问卷》。犯罪者对他们的犯罪行为和性唤起给出了因果归因，并在归因维度上对这些原因进行了评分。结果表明，儿童性犯罪者将他们的犯罪行为和性唤起都归因于内在、稳定且不可控的原因。强奸犯和财产犯罪者将他们的犯罪行为归因于外在、稳定且不可控的原因；暴力犯罪者则归因于内在、稳定且不可控的原因。与儿童性犯罪者不同，其他三组都将他们的性唤起和性行为归因于外在、不稳定且可控的原因。根据这些发现对干预项目的影响进行了讨论。
