“…We utilized our pilot data to assess the most important areas of feasibility as it relates to the PIDS . Specifically, we assessed feasibility in terms of implementation (i.e., ability to administer and gather data from a sample of the general population) and limited-efficacy testing (i.e., whether the measure obtained the designed outcome; Bowen et al, 2009; Kasturi et al, 2018; Ruel et al, 2016; Russell et al, 2018; Winters & Jeglic, 2021). First, the PIDS was easily implemented in an online, self-report survey format, as all 100 participants responded to the items on the measure and the appropriate skip logic for questions was administered.…”

The prevalence rates of paraphilic interests and disorders in the general population have been understudied, in large part due to the lack of a standardized assessment measure. As a result, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM)-5 provides little information regarding the prevalence of paraphilic disorders. The present study involved the development of a self-report measure, Paraphilic Interests and Disorders Scale ( PIDS), that can be used to assess for the eight paraphilic interests/disorders in the DSM-5 for use with general population samples. Study 1 established the content validity of the PIDS using feedback from 22 experts in the field, and recommendations from these experts were utilized to modify the measure. In Study 2, the PIDS was piloted on 100 individuals in the general population, which supported the feasibility of implementation and its limited-efficacy. While the PIDS requires further psychometric support, the current research suggests the PIDS is a promising tool to gather self-report, population-based data on DSM-5 paraphilic interests and disorders.

“…In addition to meeting and accessing their victims online, technology can also be used as part of the sexual-grooming process for offline sexual abuse. In-person child sexual grooming has been defined as “the deceptive process used by sexual abusers to facilitate sexual contact with a minor while simultaneously avoiding detection.” [ 27 ]. Winters and colleagues [ 28 ] identified 42 distinct sexual-grooming behaviors that have been identified by experts to constitute behaviors indicative of sexual grooming (see [ 28 ] for review).…”

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a pervasive global problem. To date, prevention efforts have largely focused on legislative efforts, parent and child education, and environmental protections. Due to the proliferation of the Internet, and especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, recent prevention efforts have focused on online CSA. However, the extent to which technology is being used in the perpetration of in-person, contact CSA remains unclear. This study examined the role of technology in the perpetration of in-person, contact CSA using a sample of 332 adult CSA survivors who completed an anonymous online survey. Overall, we found that only 8.5% of the sample reported that they met the perpetrator online through social media, chatrooms, and other online applications. When looking at the role of technology in the perpetration of the abuse, 35% reported texting with the perpetrator, 27% reported engaging in online chats, and 33% spoke to the perpetrator on the phone. Few participants reported sending (11%) or receiving (13%) photographs or videos that were sexual in nature. Technology use was reported more frequently in CSA involving adolescents than CSA involving children aged 12 and under. There were no differences in the use of technology based on the age of the person who perpetrated the CSA. These findings will be discussed as they pertain to prevention efforts for CSA.
