Bias in Sentencing Men for Sexual Offenses Against Minors
Prior theoretical and empirical research examining the influence of sex on sentencing has been primarily concerned with the sex of the offender, as opposed to the victim. The present study drew on a convenience sample of males ( n = 1190) in state and federal correctional facilities across the country, examining minimum sentences in relation to crime type. The analysis focused on individuals convicted of contact or enticement sexual offenses agai…

Reactions to First Postpubertal Coitus and First Male Postpubertal Same-Sex Experience in The Kinsey Sample
In German law, sexual self-determination is seen as undeveloped in minors ≤13 and underdeveloped from 14 to 15. Consequently, harm from sex with adults is assumed likely in the former and possible in the latter. We tested assumed harm using the Kinsey data on first postpubertal coitus and male same-sex experience by comparing reactions across 5 groups: minors/peers; minors ≤13/adults; minors 14–15/adults; minors 16–17/adults; adults/adults. Contr…
Reactions to First Postpubertal Male Same-Sex Sexual Experience in the Kinsey Sample
Response to Commentaries
In their commentaries, Muscarella (this issue) and Greenberg (this issue) added support and detail to my argument that male transgenerational and androphilic same-sex sexual behavior need to be stu
Trends in Evolutionary Explanations for Human Male Same-Sex Eroticism
Objectives: Riegel (2011) argued there is a moral panic surrounding the issue of male transgenerational eros in the West. In response, he offered a variety of contrasting perspectives, one being that such eros has an evolutionary basis. The present article offers commentary. Methods: I supplement his hypothesis with a review of seven related evolutionary hypotheses and then compare/contrast all eight. Results: All these hypotheses constitute a wo…

Homosexual Orientation—From Nature, Not Abuse

Child Sexual Abuse Definitions, Meta-Analytic Findings, and a Response to the Methodological Concerns Raised by Hyde (2003)
This paper begins with a review of two meta-analyses on the sexual and psychological adult correlates of child sexual abuse (CSA). One meta-analysis was based on nationally representative samples and the other on college student samples. Results of both meta-analyses suggest that: (1) CSA is only weakly associated with later adjustment problems in the general population; (2) this association in the typical case cannot be safely attributed to the …
A Response to Hyde's (2007) Follow-Up to Tromovitch and Rind (2007)
Hyde (2003) critiqued our meta-analyses of child sexual abuse (CSA) correlates done on national and college samples (Rind & Tromovitch, 1997; Rind, Tromovitch, & Bauserman, 1998). Earlier in this issue, we argued point by point that her criticisms were not valid or did not affect our basic conclusions (Tromovitch & Rind, 2007). Next in this issue, Hyde (2007) continues to dispute some aspects of our studies, such as drawing conclusions from colle…

Changes in Self‐Perceptions as a Result of Successfully Persuading Others
Can we change other people without changing ourselves as well? To test this question, participants used one of three techniques—door‐in‐the‐face, authoritative influence, and rational arguments—to convince a confederate to attend a campus meeting that favored an issue opposed by the confederate, but supported by the subject. Following the confederate's compliance, participants evaluated their perceptions of their performance and the performance o…
A meta-analytic examination of assumed properties of child sexual abuse using college samples
Many lay persons and professionals believe that child sexual abuse (CSA) causes intense harm, regardless of gender, pervasively in the general population. The authors examined this belief by reviewing 59 studies based on college samples. Meta-analyses revealed that students with CSA were, on average, slightly less well adjusted than controls. However, this poorer adjustment could not be attributed to CSA because family environment (FE) was consis…

Enjoyment and Emotionally Negative Reactions in Minor–Adult Versus Minor–Peer and Adult–Adult First Postpubescent Coitus
Biased use of cross‐cultural and historical perspectives on male homosexuality in human sexuality textbooks
Consistent with lay and professional views, Masters, Johnson, and Kolodny (1985), in an early edition of their human sexuality textbook, presented man‐man sex as normal and acceptable but man‐boy sex as pathological and unacceptable. Despite drawing these moral distinctions, they used a series of examples of socially sanctioned man‐boy sex in other cultures to provide perspective on Western man‐man sex, suggesting its normalcy and potential to be…
Biased terminology effects and biased information processing in research on adult‐nonadult sexual interactions
Adult‐child and adult‐adolescent sexual interactions have generally been described in the professional literature with value‐laden negative terms. Recently, a number of researchers have criticized this state of affairs, claiming that such usage is likely to have biasing effects. The current investigation examined empirically the biasing impact of negative terminology. Eighty undergraduate students read a shortened journal article that used either…

An analysis of human sexuality textbook coverage of the psychological correlates of adult‐nonadult sex
Browne and Finkelhor (1986) cautioned that it is important that child abuse researchers not exaggerate or overstate the intensity or inevitability of negative consequences for children or adolescents who experience sex with adults. In recent years a number of researchers have argued that this problem has been increasing, with negative repercussions. The purpose of the current research was to analyze possible overstatement (i.e., bias) from one im…

A meta‐analytic review of findings from national samples on psychological correlates of child sexual abuse
In response to the availability of a growing literature on the psychological correlates of child sexual abuse (CSA), numerous researchers have conducted literature reviews of these correlates. These reviewers have generally reported that CSA is associated with a wide variety of adjustment problems, and many have additionally implied or concluded that, in the population of persons with CSA experiences, (a) CSA causes psychological harm, (b) this h…
