It is estimated between 1 % and 5 % of young and adult men in the general population committed Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) at least once. The rates of those who admit to use Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) are superior. This paper describes behaviors and beliefs associated with CSA in 345 Argentinean men who responded an Internet survey. At least one direct or online CSA behavior was reported by 6.3% of the participants. Specifically, 3.8% indicated having some behavior related to using CSAM. Most frequent beliefs associated with the use of CSAM in the sample referred mainly to the minimization of the damage suffered by children present in these images. Although some of these beliefs were significantly more prevalent in men with CSA, they were also present in men who did not report abusive behaviors. The importance of community studies and the need to primary and secondary prevention str...

Background: Antisocial behavior refers to a set of acts that violate the rules established for the coexistence of society. One of the self-report measures to assess this type of behavior is the normative deviance scale (NDS). Objective: Considering that in the Argentine context no studies on the psychometric properties of the scale were found, the present study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the scale in a sample of Argentine youths. Method: To this end, a sample of 794 participants aged between 18 and 25 years was collected. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed; the composite reliability was calculated; and the convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity was assessed (using a self-control scale). In addition, the invariance of the factorial structure of the scale was analyzed. Results: The results confirmed the original factorial structure of the scale with...
