OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the differences between serial and nonserial sexual offenders in terms of alcohol and drug consumption, impulsivity, and personal history of being sexually abused. METHOD: A sectional and retrospective study carried out by the team of the outpatient clinic for the treatment of sexual disorders at Faculdade de Medicina do ABC - Santo André, Brazil. Three groups of subjects (n = 198) consisting of sexual offenders against one victim, two victims and three or more victims were examined. Convicts sentenced only for sexual crimes were evaluated with the Drug Addiction Screening Test, the CAGE, the Short Alcohol Dependence Data, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, the Sexual Addiction Screening Test, and the Static-99. RESULTS: Sexual offenders against three or more victims showed more frequent history of being sexually abused than the sexual offenders against one victim. A one-way analysis of variance indicated that sexual offenders against three or more victims evidenced significantly higher scores on the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale and on the Sexual Addiction Screening Test than did the sexual aggressors against one victim. After a multinomial logistic regression analysis, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale and the history of being sexually abused were predicting factors for the group of aggressors against three or more victims in relation to the aggressors against one victim. CONCLUSIONS: Sexual offenders against three or more victims present different characteristics from other groups of sexual offenders and these findings can help to create proposals for the management of this type of inmates.

Objective: Addictive sexual behaviors are being identified with increasing frequency in the practices of psychology and psychiatry, and are gaining more and more attention from researchers. There are actually 25 different questionnaires for assessing the level of loss of control over sexual behaviors (LoCoSB). None of them have been adapted and validated in a Polish language version. The aim of our work was to make such an adaptation of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test – Revised (SAST-R). Design and Method: For the purpose of psychometric features examination and validation of the Polish version of SAST-R for males (SAST-PL-M), we recruited 116 heterosexual men receiving psychological treatment due to LoCoSB and meeting the criteria for hypersexual disorder. The control group consisted of 442 heterosexual males using internet pornography but having never looked for any psychological help due to LoCoSB. Psychometrical characteristic of SAST-R for females (SAST-PL-W) was examined in the study with 423 women. Validation was performed on the group of 34 females (17 women receiving psychological treatment due to LoCoSB). Results: Both SAST-PL-M and SAST-PL-W have high reliability (α = .904 for SAST-PL-M and α = .762 for SAST-PL-W), and good filtering characteristics for identification of people who are potentially experiencing difficulty with control over sexual behaviors. Conclusions: SAST-PL can be used as an efficient screening test for symptoms of LoCoSB in clinical and research setups. Results below 6 points indicate a high probability of no problems, while more than 5 points can indicate the need for additional clinical interviews.

Background and Objectives: Sexual addiction is known as a disorder that afflicts a person with difficulty in controlling or delaying sexual behaviors. In order to prevent social, physical, and psychological consequences, validated screening tests are needed to diagnose this disorder. One of these tests is established by Carnes with the name of “Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised” (SAST-R). In this study, Sexual Addiction Screening Test-Revised has been translated and verified in the Persian language. Methods: To this purpose, the original screening test was translated to the Persian language and also back translated for matching by two different expert teams. Data was collected through online survey from 1268 participants who were between 18 to 65 years old (M=29.44 and SD=6.90) that 56.1% and 43.9% of them where women and men respectively. Three questionnaires including sexual addiction screening test–revised (SAST-R), hypersexual behavior consequences scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale as the principal, convergent and divergent tests were administered to the participants. Results: The reliability of the test's internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.883), Split-Half (Cronbach's alpha = 0.779), and Guttman (lambda coefficients were between 0.773 to 0.883) tests were used. In addition, four methods of content validity (sexual hyperactivity specialist approved), convergent structure validity (P<0.001, R =0.731), the validity of divergent structure (P<0.09, R = -0.132), and factor validity (CFI=0.884, GFI=0.873, RMSEA=0.047) were measured and confirmed the validity of the test. Conclusion: The Persian version of the sexual addiction screening test–revised (SAST-R) seems to be a reliable pre-clinical tool to assess the severity of sexual desire of patients.
