  • Title: Sexual behavior problems in preteen children: developmental, ecological, and behavioral correlates.
    Author: Friedrich WN, Davies WH, Feher E, Wright J.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2003 Jun; 989():95-104; discussion 144-53. PubMed ID: 12839889.
    Abstract:
    A large sample of 2-12 year old children (N = 2311) was studied to determine the relationship between three sexually intrusive behavior items (SIBs) measured by the Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI) and a range of developmental, ecological, and behavioral correlates. The variables studied included age, gender, race, family income, single parent status, maternal education, family sexual behaviors, physical abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, social competence of the child, and three scales from the CBCL (Internalizing, Externalizing, and PTSD). Sexual abuse was not the primary predictor of SIB, but a model incorporating family adversity, modeling of coercive behavior, child behavior, and modeling of sexuality predicted a significant amount of variance.
