Question 1

Research with both non-incestuous pedophiles and perpetrators of incest (Marshall et al.,1986 and Marshall,1997)suggests that

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that non-incestuous pedophilia is often influenced by paraphilia, whereas incestuous behavior may be more opportunistic, driven by availability and circumstances rather than a specific paraphilic interest.

Question 2

Research regarding the success of treating paraphilias with procedures such as orgasmic reconditioning and covert sensitization indicates that

Accepted Answer

Research shows that these procedures, along with others such as cognitive behavioral therapy, can be effective in treating paraphilias when implemented correctly and followed through to completion. While success rates may vary, overall treatment can be effective.

Question 3

When the term paraphilia is used to describe the behavior of a rapist,it means that the rapist is aroused by

Accepted Answer

Paraphilia refers to a condition where an individual is aroused by atypical or extreme sexual stimuli, which may include non-consensual or forced sexual acts. Rapists who have paraphilic tendencies may experience sexual arousal and satisfaction through violent and non-consensual sexual acts.

Question 4

Charles gets very sexually excited by women's shoes.While he used to fantasize about women wearing particular shoes,he now focuses almost exclusively on the shoes themselves.Charles has a(n)__________________.

Accepted Answer

Charles has a fetish, which involves sexual arousal and gratification through an inanimate object, in this case, women's shoes. A fetish is considered a sexual preference or orientation rather than a diagnosable disorder.

Question 5

One psychological aspect of voyeurism and exhibitionism that seems to maintain the disordered behavior is

Accepted Answer

One psychological aspect of voyeurism and exhibitionism that seems to maintain the disordered behavior is anxiety. These individuals may experience a thrill from the risk of being caught, which can increase their excitement and reinforce the behavior. This anxiety can also lead to a cycle of shame and guilt after the act is committed, which can further fuel the behavior.

Question 6

____________ are individuals who receive a sexual thrill from inflicting pain on others,and ____________ are individuals who receive a sexual thrill from receiving physical pain.

Accepted Answer

Sadism refers to the act of inflicting pain upon others for personal pleasure, while masochism refers to receiving physical pain or humiliation for personal pleasure. Therefore, option A) is correct. Option B) has the roles of sadism and masochism reversed, while options C) and D) refer to different paraphilias and are not related to the question being asked.

Question 7

The typical adult who molests a child

Accepted Answer

According to research, the majority of adults who molest children do not use physical force or violence. Instead, they use grooming tactics to gain the child's trust and coerce them into sexual acts. Additionally, many perpetrators do not fully understand the extent of the psychological harm they are causing the child.

Question 8

Which of the following is TRUE about most rapists?

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that rapists are more likely to be aggressive and have a lack of empathy towards others. While some rapists may be hypersexual, it is not true for most. Additionally, not all rapists are sexually aroused only by violence, and some may have a normal sex drive.

Question 9

Greg and Diana often begin their sexual activity with Greg putting on a striptease show for Diana.They both report great satisfaction and excitement with this activity.In fact,Greg says that he gets aroused by exposing himself,and Diana reports getting aroused when she watches him undress.Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

Neither Greg nor Diana should be diagnosed with a fetish because these behaviors involve consenting individuals. Fetishism involves the use of nonhuman objects or non-genital body parts as the sole basis for achieving sexual excitement. In this scenario, neither Greg nor Diana are using nonhuman objects, and they are mutually consenting to engage in the behavior, so it does not meet the criteria for fetishism.

Question 10

All of the following are true statements regarding transvestic fetishism EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

Transvestic fetishism is not limited to individuals who identify as either homosexual or transsexual. It can occur in individuals of any gender or sexual orientation.

Question 11

The basic concept behind the covert sensitization method of treating unwanted sexual arousal is to

Accepted Answer

Covert sensitization aims to replace the immediate reinforcement (pleasure) that an individual experiences from the unwanted behavior (such as sexual arousal towards forbidden stimuli) with the unpleasant consequences that ordinarily take longer to be experienced (such as guilt, shame, or legal consequences). This is achieved through imagining unpleasant consequences while imagining engaging in the unwanted behavior. The goal is to decrease the likelihood of engaging in the behavior by reducing the immediate pleasure associated with it. Option A focuses on creating empathy, option C describes aversion therapy, and option D describes a more comprehensive approach to treating unwanted sexual behavior.

Question 12

According to the authors of your textbook,the concurrent existence of masochistic and sadistic fetish within the same individual is _________________.

Accepted Answer

The authors suggest that it is common for individuals to exhibit both masochistic and sadistic tendencies, as these behaviors can coexist within the same person.

Question 13

Patients undergoing the procedure called orgasmic reconditioning are instructed to

Accepted Answer

Patients undergoing orgasmic reconditioning are instructed to masturbate to their usual fantasies but to substitute more desirable ones just before ejaculation. The aim of this therapy is to replace negative or deviant sexual arousal patterns with more socially acceptable ones.

Question 14

The classical conditioning model of learning predicts that the following boy might grow up to be a voyeur:

Accepted Answer

The classical conditioning model of learning suggests that behaviors can be learned through association. In this case, Sid is engaging in the behavior of peeping while masturbating, and this behavior is likely becoming associated with the sexual arousal he experiences. Over time, he may come to crave this feeling and seek out opportunities to indulge in this behavior, potentially leading to a voyeuristic inclination. The other options (A, B, and D) don't necessarily involve the same pattern of behavior and association that would lead to the development of voyeuristic tendencies.

Question 15

Of the various hypothesized influences of paraphilia,the ones that we know the least about involve

Accepted Answer

While there is evidence suggesting that biological factors such as genetics and neurotransmitters may play a role in the development of paraphilias, our understanding of these influences is still very limited and much more research is needed to fully understand their effects.

Question 16

The procedure that is carried out entirely in the patient's imagination and used to reduce the inappropriate sexual arousal that exists in fetishistic behavior is called ________________.

Accepted Answer

The procedure described in the question is covert sensitization, which is a type of behavior therapy used to reduce unwanted or inappropriate behaviors. It involves having the patient imagine a scenario in which they engage in the unwanted behavior (e.g. fetishistic behavior), but associate it with negative consequences (e.g. feeling nauseous, ashamed, or experiencing social rejection). Over time, the patient can learn to associate the unwanted behavior with these negative consequences and therefore reduce the likelihood of engaging in it in the future. Classical conditioning, sexual re-training, and sensate focus are all different types of behavioral interventions but are not specifically designed to address fetishistic behavior.

Question 17

Inappropriate sexual arousal,

Accepted Answer

Masturbatory fantasies about the object can reinforce inappropriate sexual arousal, such as fetishism, through conditioning and learned associations.

Question 18

Victims of incest tend to be ____________,and victims of pedophilia (who are not also incest victims)tend to be ___________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Victims of incest tend to be ____________,and...

Question 19

The procedure called orgasmic reconditioning works according to the principle of ____________.

Accepted Answer

Orgasmic reconditioning involves reinforcing the individual's appropriate arousal by having them masturbate to appropriate themes or fantasies instead of their problematic ones. The reinforcement of appropriate arousal leads to a decrease in the problematic arousal.

Question 20

"Opportunistic" rape differs from sadistic rape in that the rape in the latter is committed by an individual

Accepted Answer

Sadistic rape involves a perpetrator who has a specific pattern of sexual arousal that is linked to the suffering of the victim, distinguishing it from opportunistic rape, which does not necessarily involve such a pattern.
