Our goal was to develop a reliable measure of childhood maltreatment that could be used to evaluate retrospective memories among adults across a broad range of potentially abusive caregiver behaviors.
These behaviors were organized into 31 items that query age at onset, frequency across 4 developmental periods, relationship of the perpetrator(s), and respondents' perception of the experience. Additional factors directly relevant to each of the individual 4 categories of childhood maltreatment were also queried.
Preliminary data collected from 95 college students, find the measure to have excellent test-retest reliability, and 2 of 4 subscales to possess adequate internal consistency.
Reasons for low internal consistency for the Physical Maltreatment and Physical Neglect categories and the relative importance of test-retest reliability as compared to internal consistency in a questionnaire of this type are discussed.
我们的目标是开发一种可靠的儿童期虐待测量方法，可用于评估成年人对一系列潜在虐待性照顾者行为的回顾性记忆。
这些行为被整理成31个项目，询问开始年龄、四个发育阶段的频率、施虐者的关系以及受访者对经历的感知。还询问了与儿童期虐待的四个单独类别中每一个直接相关的其他因素。
从95名大学生收集的初步数据发现，该测量方法具有出色的重测信度，并且四个子量表中的两个具有足够的内部一致性。
讨论了身体虐待和身体忽视类别内部一致性低的原因，以及在这类问卷中重测信度相对于内部一致性的相对重要性。
