Extension of the Sexual Abuse Questionnaire to Other Abuse Categories: The Initial Psychometric Validation of the Binghamton Childhood Abuse Screen
Castelda, Bryan A.; Levis, Donald J.; Rourke, Patricia A.; Coleman, Shannon L.
Journal of Child Sexual Abuse, v16 n1 p107-125 2007
Study I represents a follow-up to a recently published study dealing with the initial development of the Sexual Abuse Questionnaire (SAQ). The SAQ was designed to be used to identify individuals experiencing psychological distress resulting from a history of childhood sexual abuse. Using a new data set (N = 2,806), this study utilized item analyses, exploratory factor analyses, and Receiver Operating Characteristics Curves to replicate and expand upon the initial psychometric properties of the SAQ, and to examine the sensitivity of the SAQ to other abuse categories. Findings from Study I indicated that the SAQ was sensitive to other abuse categories and in need of revision. Study II, using a new data set (N = 1,454), provided the initial psychometric evaluation of the newly constructed Binghamton Childhood Abuse Screen (BCAS). (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
