This study developed sexual aggression scales suitable for research and practical use in Taiwan. We developed the Women's Sexual Assault Scale (containing the 'sexual coercion' and 'rape' subscales) and the Children's Sexual Abuse Scale (containing the 'child obscenities' and 'sexual intercourse with children' subscales). Participants included male inmates from a northern Taiwan prison, male juvenile delinquents from a northern Taiwan reform institute, and students from senior high schools and universities in Taiwan. An anonymous self-reported questionnaire was adopted to collect data. The internal consistent reliability of the scales was examined using Cronbach's alpha, the one-week test-retest reliability was examined at the pretest and post-test, and the factorial validity was examined using exploratory factor analysis. The construct validity of the Women's Sexual Assault Scale was examined using rape myth acceptance, the construct validity of the Children Sexual Abuse Scale was examined using child molestation myth acceptance, and the criterion-related validity was verified by comparing the self-reports of prison inmates on the scales and their court record. The results showed that both the Women's Sexual Assault Scale and the Children's Sexual Abuse Scale have acceptable internal consistent reliability, test retest reliability, factorial validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity.Finally, the reliability of the self-report on highly sensitive questions, the dark figure regarding official sexual offense statistics, comparisons between methods to identify sexual aggressors using the self-reporting scale and the court verdict, the common method variance problem, applications of the Women's Sexual Assault Scale and the Children's Sexual Abuse Scale, limitations, and future study directions were addressed. |
