Abstract

Objective: This study examined the psychometric properties of a new scale, the Emotional Betrayal from Child Sexual Abuse Measure (EBCSAM), which assesses feelings of betrayal in adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA). Emotional betrayal is examined with respect to the perpetrator as well as others in the survivor's immediate environment (i.e., family, friends, etc.) during the time of the abuse.

Method: A sample of 342 CSA survivors were anonymously surveyed online in order to examine the psychometric properties of the EBCSAM.

Results: The original 16-item measure did not produce a good-fitting model, nor was it considered reliable or valid. Instead, a shortened six-item measure produced a successful model, was reliable (overall Cronbach's α = .85), and exploratory/confirmatory factor analyses suggested two valid latent subscales (Perpetrator Betrayal and Environmental Betrayal).

Conclusion: This measure could be useful to clinicians treating survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as researchers, to reveal and evaluate aspects of emotional betrayal that impacted survivors.CSA). Emotional betrayal is examined with respect to the perpetrator as well as others in the survivor's immediate environment (i.e., family, friends, etc.) during the time of the abuse.

儿童性虐待情感背叛测量法（EBSCAM）：心理计量分析。

研究目的本研究检验了一种新量表--儿童性虐待情感背叛量表（EBCSAM）--的心理测量特性，该量表用于评估儿童性虐待（CSA）成年幸存者的背叛感。情绪背叛是针对施虐者以及受虐期间幸存者周围环境中的其他人（如家人、朋友等）进行的：对 342 名 CSA 幸存者进行了在线匿名抽样调查，以检验 EBCSAM 的心理测量特性：结果：最初的 16 个项目的测量结果并没有产生一个拟合良好的模型，也不被认为是可靠或有效的。取而代之的是，经过缩减的 6 个项目的测量结果产生了一个成功的模型，并且是可靠的（总体 Cronbach's α = .85），探索性/确认性因素分析表明有两个有效的潜在子量表（施暴者背叛和环境背叛）：结论：这一测量方法对治疗儿童性虐待幸存者的临床医生和研究人员很有用，可以揭示和评估影响幸存者的情感背叛的各个方面。）情感背叛是针对施虐者以及受虐期间幸存者周围环境中的其他人（如家人、朋友等）进行研究的：对 342 名 CSA 幸存者进行了在线匿名抽样调查，以检验该问卷的心理测量特性（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，版权所有）。
