Abstract

The purpose of this study was to translate and execute preliminary study of validation for the Korean Version of the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire(BVAQ-K). Two hundred seventy three female university students completed the BVAQ-K and TAS-20K. First, the present study compared the structures of two parallel versions of 20 items. They have relatively similar structures but they don't have same number of items of factor. But, the result of factor analysis of the BVAQ-40 K confirmed 5 factor structure as hypothesized. The subscales are denoted Fantasizing, Emotionalizing, Identifying, Verbalizing, and Analysing. The internal consistency reliability of BVAQ-K showed good and was acceptable. The subscales of BVAQ-K, Analysing, Identifying, Verbalizing which are corresponding with subscales of TAS-20K correlated with subscales of the TAS-20K. And, Fantasizing and Emotionalizing subscale of BVAQ-K which are not corresponding with TAS-20K did not correlate with TAS-20K. So, it is implicated that BVAQ-K has the criterion validity. Finally, limitations of this study were discussed in relation with future studies.
