Research is needed on the myths regarding child sexual abuse in order to address commonly held misconceptions in persons training for professional careers in relevant fields for child protection. We present our translated, validated, and expanded Child Sexual Abuse Myth Scale (CSAMS-G). It was tested on a sample of 569 students studying either education, social work, law, or policing. Results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit for our assumed factorial structure. Acceptable results on internal consistency were confirmed with McDonald's ω. We also present the first results on the acceptance of child sexual abuse myths in our sample. Overall, myth acceptance was low, but a few exceptions were found, especially for the newly added items. We found group differences in factor scores for gender as well as between survivors and non-survivors of child sexual abuse.
有必要对关于儿童性虐待的误解进行研究，以纠正儿童保护相关领域职业培训人员中普遍存在的错误观念。我们展示了我们翻译、验证并扩展的儿童性虐待误解量表（CSAMS-G）。该量表在569名学习教育、社会工作、法律或警务专业的学生样本上进行了测试。验证性因素分析结果表明，我们假设的因子结构具有良好的模型拟合度。通过麦克唐纳ω系数证实了内部一致性的可接受结果。我们还展示了样本中对儿童性虐待误解的接受情况的初步结果。总体而言，对误解的接受程度较低，但也发现了一些例外情况，特别是对于新添加的项目。我们发现了性别因素得分以及儿童性虐待幸存者与非幸存者之间的组间差异。
