Abstract
The goal of the current study was to determine factors that differentiate children who repeated and did not repeat inappropriate sexual behaviours following adult reprimand. A literature review revealed 33 factors likely related to repeated sexual behaviours. Predictive accuracy of these factors was investigated in 62 children (9 females) recently assessed for problematic sexual behaviours. The children were divided into those with and without a history of repeated problematic sexual behaviours following adult reprimand. A relationship was found between eight individual factors and group membership and the combination of these factors demonstrated accuracy in identifying group membership. The results indicate factors that may assist in identifying children who require intervention and those likely only requiring adult reprimand to deter continued problematic sexual behaviours.
