Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between the actual level of physical violence in sexual offenses and dark triad, empathic and impulsive personality traits of their perpetrators. Sixty-four male perpetrators of sexual offenses without any serious mental illness were included. A 5-point Likert-type coding system based on Violence Profile for Current Offense was applied to assess the severity of physical violence of each sexual offense. Personality traits of dark triad (psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism), trait empathy and impulsiveness were also evaluated. Multivariate analyses indicated that non-stranger victim, secondary psychopathy, narcissism and empathy could significantly predict greater involvement of physical violence in a sexual offense. In addition, empathy was negatively correlated with all dark triad traits. Sexual violence should be conceptualized in the form of a continuum, and, considering such an approach, offenders with high secondary psychopathy and narcissism may show preference for sexual assaults that are more violent in nature.
摘要:
这项研究检查了性犯罪中身体暴力的实际水平与黑社会之间的关系,施暴者的同理和冲动性格特征。包括64名没有任何严重精神疾病的性犯罪男性肇事者。应用了基于当前犯罪暴力概况的5点Likert型编码系统,以评估每种性犯罪的身体暴力的严重程度。黑暗三合会的人格特质(精神病,马基雅维利主义,自恋),还评估了特质移情和冲动。多变量分析表明,非陌生人受害者,继发性精神病,自恋和同理心可以显着预测性犯罪中身体暴力的更多参与。此外,移情与所有黑暗三合会特征呈负相关。性暴力应该以连续体的形式概念化,and,考虑到这种方法,患有高度二次精神病和自恋的罪犯可能表现出对性质上更暴力的性侵犯的偏好。
