Abstract

ABSTRACT This study attempts to address the dearth of information about child sexual abuse (CSA) and psychological functioning in Korean children by measuring the psychological impact of sexual abuse on children in South Korea. The original data were collected on 92 sexually abused children (age 13 or younger) who underwent medical forensic interviews and psychological evaluations prior to treatment. This study collected additional data reflecting specific psychological evaluations from a control group drawn from five randomly chosen elementary schools. The psychological impact on the group of sexually abused children was compared to the control group via the assessment of four major psychological diagnostic criteria: (1) Child Attribution Perception Scale (CAPS), (2) Self-Esteem Scale (SES), (3) Parental Behavior Scale-Child reporting (PBS), and (4) State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Children (STAI-C). Using structural equation modeling, the findings indicated that the abused and control-group children differed significantly on these four psychological criteria. Policy recommendations addressing victim, parent, and health provider needs are reviewed.

韩国性侵与非性侵儿童的归因、自尊、焦虑和父母依恋的比较

摘要:本研究试图通过测量性虐待对韩国儿童的心理影响来解决韩国儿童性虐待(CSA)和心理功能信息缺乏的问题。收集了92名遭受性虐待的儿童(13岁或以下)的原始数据，这些儿童在接受治疗前接受了医学法医访谈和心理评估。这项研究收集了额外的数据，反映了从随机选择的五所小学中抽取的对照组的特定心理评估。采用儿童归因知觉量表(CAPS)、自尊量表(SES)、父母行为量表-儿童报告量表(PBS)和状态-特质焦虑量表-儿童量表(STAI-C)四项主要心理诊断标准，比较受性虐待儿童组与对照组的心理影响。运用结构方程模型，结果表明受虐儿童与对照组儿童在这四项心理指标上存在显著差异。审查了针对受害者、家长和保健提供者需求的政策建议。
