This script implements the Explicit Sexual Interest Questionnaire (ESIQ) by Banse et al (2010).
Banse, R., Schmidt, A. F., and Clarbour, J. (2010). Indirect measures of sexual interest in child sex offenders: A multimethod approach. Criminal Justice and Behavior 37, 319–335
1 minute
The ESIQ features two subscales assessing sexual behavior (e.g., “I have enjoyed orally stimulating a man/woman/boy/girl.”) and sexual fantasy (e.g., “I have daydreamed of having sex with a man/woman/boy/girl”) with 5 items each. The ten fantasy and behavior items are combined with the four types of targets (man, woman, boy, or girl). Items are responded to in a dichotomous yes/no format.
This script runs the 'Behavior' and 'Fantasy' subscales in a blocked design (behavior subscale questions followed by the fantasy scale questions.) The questions within each subscale follow the order as described in table 1 in Benson et al (2010).
