Charles University Prague, Czech Rep. Raculty of Philosophy Department of Psychology Doctoral Theses Comparison of Accuracy and Precision of Sexodiagnostic Methods of Penile Plethysmography and Viewing Time Ondřej Trojan, 2017 Abstract The diagnosis of pedophilia denotes (according to ICL 10) the erotic preference for prepubescent or early pubescent children. Penile plethysmography (PPG) measures the reaction of these men in respon- se to either visual stimuli or to erotic narrative stories including child objects. Penile plethysmography is quite an intrusive assessment method, so viewing time (VT) might be a good alternative if it is shown to be compapratively accurate. Several studies in the past have shown inconsistent data, therefore more research is needed to confirm its validity in distinguishing responses to the preferred age category of pedophilic men. Method: Participants were 30 self-referred admitting paedophiles aged between 18 and 55 in the experimental group and 30 heterosexual gynephile men in the comparison group. A set of photographs depicting naked adults in addition to male and female children across 6 age categories ranging from young infants to adolescents was used; the same set of 38 stimuli were used to measure PPG (first) and VT(after). PPG apparatus was used to measure penile...

Media image of child sexual abuse in Czech TV news
Vopravilová, Anna ; Štoll, Martin (advisor) ; Lütke Notarp, Ulrike (referee)
The bachelor's thesis is focused on media image of child sexual abuse in Czech TV news. The thesis introduces the issues of this serious social problem, presents context of social sciences, rapist, victims and consequences of sexual abuse. The media chapter introduces possible influences of news about child sexual abuse on society. Quantitative content analysis was used for the research. Three of the most popular TV stations - ČT1, Nova, Prima − were included in the research. News transcription related to child sexual abuse was monitored from the beginning of 2010 until the end of 2015 with the aid of the Newton Media SEARCH database. The time period was chosen because of actuality and sufficient sample of news. Three large cases were chosen. Cases were connected with organizations (the Scout group, the BBC television, the Catholic church). These organizations should help and protect children. The affairs were presented, in detail, the data from the news were analyzed, then interpreted and compared. The aim of the analysis was to find if society is sufficiently informed about this problem, if news about child sexual abuse can transform the society's view and if the news had some taboo or stereotypes about this problem.

Reading Nabokov's Humbert Humbert through historical and socio-cultural prism
Rybchinskaya, Svetlana ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Topolovská, Tereza (referee)
The scholarly appraisal of Nabokov's Humbert Humbert generally sees him as a very intriguing yet morally flawed character. It is therefore interesting to see his depraved views and sexual tendencies within the context of how people have historically thought about female nubility and maturity. The thesis does not seek to de-stigmatise paedophilia, yet it aims at providing some historical framework towards understanding (1) why the widely embraced cultural relativism does not exonerate paedophilia and (2) how some historically- grounded attitudes of humankind towards female maturity align with Humbert Humbert's tendencies. Key words: child marriages; paedophilia; nubility; female maturity; Lolita; age of consent; child sexual abuse; childhood; sexual intercourse; Abstrakt Vědecké posouzení postavy Humberta Humberta z románu Nabokova "Lolita" ho zpravidla popisuje jako postavu poutavou a přesto mravně vadnou. Proto by bylo zajímavé prozkoumat jeho neřestné názory a sexuální sklony v kontextu lidského pohledu na ženskou zralost a pohlavní dospělost v průběhu historie. Tato bakalářská práce si neklade za cíl ospravedlnit pedofilii, avšak zaměřuje se na poskytnutí historického rámce k tomu, abychom porozuměli, (1) proč široce rozsáhlý kulturní relativismus nepřipouští pedofilii a (2) jak některé...

: Sexual reactivity of teleiophilic and pedophilic men to audio stimuli (a replication study)
Vagenknecht, Václav ; Klapilová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Weiss, Petr (referee)
The assessment of pedophilic sexual preferences is an important part of forensic and research practice. Standardization of methods and stimuli used across sites is missing, making data transferability and comparability more difficult. The aim of this study was to investigate if the stimuli used in the USA and Canada are able to reliably distinguish between pedophilic and control subjects in the Czech Republic, based on their elicited sexual arousal. A stimuli set was first translated into Czech and voice recordings were created for the narratives. Sexual arousal was measured using circumferential penile plethysmography. 29 pedophilic (15 heterosexual; 14 homosexual) and 26 control (12 heterosexual; 12 homosexual) participants took part in the study. The sample comprised mostly non- delinquent individuals. The results revealed a significant difference in the subjective sexual arousal ratings as well as sexual reactivity between pedophiles and control participants in response to both child and adult stimulus categories. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between subjective ratings and sexual reactivity to both child and adult stimulus categories. The results indicate that the audio recordings are a suitable tool to distinguish between pedophiles and controls. The...
