There is a paucity of data that describes sex offenders and a need to better understand the psychological character, symptom, and subject variables of males who have been convicted of committing sexual offenses. This study compared 74 males convicted of at least one sex offense, court mandated for psychological assessment and treatment, and subsequently psychologically diagnosed as either committing sexual abuse of an adult (17 subjects), sexual abuse of a child (6 subjects), or pedophilia (51 subjects). The subjects were given the Basic Adlerian Scales for Interpersonal Success - Adult form (BASIS-A), the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) and a comprehensive evaluation that gathered subject variables (age, race, marital status, education level, work status, and educational degree). Correlations were computed to determine to predict significance indices for regression. There was no strong correlation among any of the subject variables with either the BASIS-A scales or the SCL-90 scores at the .01 level. Only one subject variable (Educational Level) was significantly correlated with another variable (Sexual Abuse of an Adult), with lower levels of education significantly correlated with a diagnosis of Sexual Abuse of an Adult. Two BASIS-A scales (TC and WR) did not have a significant correlation at the .01 level with subject variables or SCL-90 subscales. Three BASIS-A scales (BSI, GA, BC) were significantly correlated at the .01 level with SCL90 subscales. However, the highest correlations were among SCL-90 subscales. Those BASIS-A and SCL-90 variables had a significant correlation and were further investigated with a regression analysis. Overall, the results of this study indicate that males convicted of at least one sexual offense have a similar amount of social interest as reported on the BASIS-A scale of Belonging/Social Interest (BSI) as the average person when compared to norm groups. In addition, the population used for this study has a high number of symptoms as reported on the subscales of the SCL-90. However, while the relationships between some of the BASIS-A scales and the SCL-90 scores were significant, none were powerful descriptors. Results suggest a modest relationship between social interest, going along, and being cautious with the number and severity of symptoms as reported on the SCL-90. In addition, almost all scales of the SCL-90 were significantly correlated with each other. If males convicted of a sexual offense report one symptom, they are likely to report other symptoms. This suggests a strong correlation among all symptoms for males convicted of committing a sex offense. Future studies should compare this group of individuals to a control group of non-sex offenders, as well as assess this population longitudinally to discover factors not yet taken into account that will predict/describe sex offenders.
