这项研究比较了通过两种措施评估的儿童性虐待和身体虐待的回顾性报告：儿童创伤问卷（CTQ），它使用李克特型量表方法，以及计算机辅助虐待量表（CAMI），它采用特定行为的评估方法。参与者包括来自三所不同地区大学的 1,195 名本科生。两种衡量受害者状况分类的一致性很高（性虐待和身体虐待分别为 92% 和 80%）。然而，与 CAMI 相比，CTQ 将更多的参与者归类为性虐待，而身体虐待的趋势则相反。对于儿童身体虐待，许多参与者在 CAMI 上报告的虐待行为得分低于 CTQ 上身体虐待的分界点。两种类型的虐待的分类差异在很大程度上与人口因素、社会期望的反应或自我报告的隐瞒信息无关。根据未来使用评估儿童虐待的回顾性方法的研究，讨论了这些结果的含义。
This study compared retrospective reports of childhood sexual and physical abuse as assessed by two measures: the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), which uses a Likert-type scaling approach, and the Computer Assisted Maltreatment Inventory (CAMI), which employs a behaviorally specific means of assessment. Participants included 1,195 undergraduate students recruited from three geographically diverse universities. Agreement was high across the two measures in the classification of victim status (92% and 80% for sexual and physical abuse, respectively). However, the CTQ classified more participants as sexually abused than did the CAMI, whereas the opposite trend was found for physical abuse. For child physical abuse, many participants reporting abusive acts on the CAMI scored below the cut-point for physical abuse on the CTQ. Classification differences for both types of abuse were largely unrelated to demographic factors, socially desirable responding, or self-reported withholding of information. The implications of these results are discussed in light of future research using retrospective methods of assessing childhood abuse.
