Peer reviewedPothast, Henry L.; Allen, Craig M. – Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 1994
This study examined masculinity and femininity in adult male (n=75) and female (n=38) perpetrators of child sexual abuse. Results did not support the hypothesis that perpetrators of either sex would be more masculine and less feminine than nonclinical adult groups. Findings suggested a trend opposite the predicted direction. (DB)
