Abstract

This study validated statement validity test tools such as CBCA, RM, and a contextual validity test of sexual molestation, used at ONE-STOP centers in South Korea Furthermore, this study attempted to search for the cutoff scores of these instruments for judicial decision making. This study applied a simulation study with two criterion groups(Smith, 1997), a real sexually victimized group and feigned group. These 재 criterion groups were compared based on the scores of three dependent measures. Total scores of items were analysed, which were proven to have good item characteristics based on the study of Choi and Lee(2009). Total scores of three scales differentiated real sexual victims from feigned subjects. The most effective cutoff scores were found to be 13 of CBCA consisted of 11 items , 9 of RM consisted of 8 items, and 9 or 10 of a contextual validity test consisted of 14 items.
