在日本，小偷的再犯率很高，其中一些可能是由盗窃癖引起的。本研究的目的是将盗窃癖症状评估量表（K-SAS）翻译成日语，并在日本样本中验证其心理测量特性。本研究的第二个目的是评估K-SAS在区分盗窃狂和未受该障碍影响的商店扒手之间的有效性。方法自行翻译原K-SAS。量表的反译是由一名精通两种语言的专业翻译人员进行的。在经过法医精神病学专家的审查后，日本版K-SAS的项目被认为适合日本的情况。样本包括22名盗窃癖患者、26名商店扒手和47名健康成年人。我们测试了量表的性质和效度来区分三组。结果日文版K-SAS量表具有足够的信度和效度。盗窃癖患者的得分明显高于商店扒手和健康成年人。此外，盗窃癖的K-SAS得分与典型反社会倾向不相关。此外，盗窃癖的K-SAS得分与强迫症和边缘型人格障碍相关的心理测量量表不相关。结论日本版K-SAS量表是一种有效的评估工具，可用于区分日本的盗窃癖患者和未受该障碍影响的商店扒手。
IntroductionIn Japan, the rate of recidivism among thieves is high, some of which may be caused by kleptomania. The purpose of this study was to translate the Kleptomania Symptom Assessment Scale (K-SAS) into Japanese and validate its psychometric properties in a Japanese sample. A second purpose of the study was to evaluate the validity of K-SAS to discriminate between individuals with kleptomania and shoplifters not affected by the disorder.MethodsThe original K-SAS was translated by researchers. The back-translation of the scale into English was conducted by a professional translator who was fluent in both languages. The items on the Japanese version of K-SAS were deemed appropriate for the Japanese context after being reviewed by a forensic psychiatry specialist. The sample included 22 kleptomania patients, 26 shoplifters, and 47 healthy adults. We tested the scale properties and validity to discriminate between the three groups.ResultsThe Japanese version of the K-SAS showed adequate reliability and validity. Individuals affected by kleptomania had significantly higher scores than shoplifters and healthy adults. Furthermore, the K-SAS score of kleptomania was not correlated with typical antisocial tendencies. Moreover, the K-SAS score for kleptomania was not correlated with psychometric scales related to obsessive-compulsive disorder and borderline personality disorder.ConclusionsThe Japanese version of the K-SAS is a useful assessment tool for distinguishing between individuals with kleptomania and shoplifters not affected by the disorder in Japan.
