dc.description.abstractSurvey data was collected toward examining atypical sexual experiences of male children and youth. The Sexual Experiences and Perceptions Questionnaire (SEP-Q) and the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) were administered to a sample of 279 male students from a university population in British Columbia, Canada. Subjects were recruited from a first year psychology course and through advertisements placed on campus. Childhood and adolescent sexual experiences information provided by subjects was differentiated using five categories of age or authority based definition criteria. Self-reported perceptions and measures of trauma were compared using descriptive cross tabulations toward answering several questions about symptomology and perceptions of males reporting these experiences. The results for the different age and sexual behavior categories were represented within tables. Comparisons were noted regarding the affective perceptions of subjects to childhood sexual experiences with significantly older or authority positioned partners in relation to the gender of the sexual partner, the age difference between the subject and partner, the level of manipulation involved in the sexual encounter, whether or not the subject previously disclosed the sexual encounter, the subject's perception of abuse, and assessment of traumatic symptoms.
