- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoPerfil neuropsicológico del agresor sexual en hombres mayores de edad.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Benítez Paccha, Carlos G.; Calle Torres, John F.; Arévalo Proaño, Claudia C.; 1104124712; 010651511Introduction: Sexual aggression is the third most common cause of incarceration in adult men, representing a significant social issue. Defining sexual aggression raises questions about the aggressors and the act itself, which involves attempting or engaging in sexual relations without the explicit consent of the other person. Objective: To characterize the neuropsychological profile of sexual aggressors in adult men. Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive bibliographic review was conducted through a bibliographic file with content pertaining to the study variables. The database of the Catholic University of Cuenca was utilized to access scientific articles. Results: Neurotransmitters like Dopamine, GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), and Noradrenaline play crucial roles in sexual aggression due to their excitatory or inhibitory functions within the central nervous system, which can lead to aggressive behavior. Additionally, the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus are implicated in aggressive behavior. The neuropsychological profile shows deficits in executive functions, including working memory, attention, and visual-spatial capacity. There are also shortcomings in emotion control and interpersonal relationships. Finally, specific personality traits—dependent, antisocial, borderline, and avoidant—correlate with the neuropsychological profiles of sexual offenders. Conclusion: Sexual offenders tend to be middle-aged males with below-average IQs, often facing childhood issues, brain lesions, and executive cognitive function deficits.
