Abstract

The aims of this study was to develop and validate assessment standard for determining probability of child sexual abuse. In study 1, assessment standard was developed. For this aims, 307 alleged sexual abuse cases which were composed of 2～12 years old were assigned to one of objective evidence group, objective evidence and behavior․context evidence group, behavior․context evidence group, and no-evidence group. Emotional response(congruous emotional response to statement content), statement credibility elements(quantity of details, contextual details, interactions between victim-perpetrator, unusual or specific or declare details), first disclosure type, and clinical symptom(ex. reexperience, hyper-arousal, avoidance, depression, anxiety, increased sexual behavior) were included in dependent variables. These variables were commonly used by experts to assessment the possibility of child sexual abuse. In result of group difference analysis, the groups that objective or behavior․context evidence existed were higher than no-evidence group in emotional response, statement credibility elements, and first disclosure type. Among clinical symptoms, only in acute stress reaction symptom both behavior․context evidence exist group were higher than no evidence group, and objective group was located between behavior․context group and no-evidence group. In age-inappropriate sexual behavior, objective group and no evidence group were higher than both behavior․context evidence exist group. In result of binary logistic regression for discriminant variable to evidence group versus no-evidence group, weighted model was 〔emotional response score×2 + statement credibility score + first disclosure score + subjective distress level during exposure to stimuli related to sexual abuse event×2〕for preschool age, and cutoff point was determined score 6. Weighted model was 〔emotional response score×4 + statement credibility score〕, and cutoff point was determined score 8 for school age. The aims of study 2 validated new assessment standard. For this aims, 101 alleged sexual abuse cases were classified evidence group versus no-evidence group. And the hit ratio were analysis between evidence based group classification and new assessment standard based group classification. In result, in both age group the hit ratios were more than 90%, and Kappa coefficients were relatively high. And, New assessment standard was revealed higher correct classify rate than CBCA. Consequently, new developed assessment standard for determining probability of child sexual abuse was validated. Implications of these findings were discussed.
