Abstract

The cross-cultural validity of the Child Sexual Abuse Myth Scale was examined in samples of adolescents and young adults drawn from three countries: South Africa (n = 200), Korea (n = 200), and Sweden (n = 200). Participants completed the 15-item Child Sexual Abuse Myth Scale (CSAMS). For each country data were analyzed using principal-axis factor analyses with varimax rotation. Responses on the CSAMS obtained for the original South African validation sample were replicated in the Swedish and Korean samples. A psychologically meaningful three-factor structure was observed. However, CSAMS scores exhibited differences in the moderating effects of education.
