Insights
A study of 308 children found 34.6% had psychosexual development deviations, including gender behavior issues and developmental delays. Risk factors contributing to these deviations were identified.
Area of Science:
- Child Psychology
- Developmental Pediatrics
- Psychosexual Health
Background:
- Understanding psychosexual development in children is crucial for early identification of potential issues.
- This study examines the psychosexual health of children aged 2-11 and their families.
Observation:
- A cohort of 308 children aged 2-11 years was assessed for psychosexual development.
- Family context was also considered as part of the assessment.
Findings:
- 34.6% of children exhibited deviations in psychosexual development.
- Common deviations included difficulties in gender-determined behavior (64.4%), precocious development (13.7%), delayed development (12.3%), and obsessive masturbation (9.6%).
- Specific risk factors associated with deviant psychosexual development were identified.
Implications:
- Early identification and intervention for psychosexual development deviations are essential.
- Understanding risk factors can inform targeted support for children and families.
- Further research into the long-term impact of these deviations is warranted.
Abstract:
Psychosexual health of 308 children, aged 2-11 years, as well as that of their families, was studied. Deviations in psychosexual development were found in 34.6% of the children examined. The following types were detected: difficulties in formation of gender-determined behavior features--64.4%, precocious psychosexual development--13.7%, delayed psychosexual development--12.3%, obsessive masturbation--9.6%. Risk factors for deviant psychosexual development were found.
