Description:
The 38-item Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI) was developed to assess children who have been sexually abused or are suspected of having been sexually abused. The measure is designed to be completed by a female caregiver. It is one of the most widely used measures of sexual behaviors.
It yields a total CSBI score, a Developmentally Related Sexual Behavior Score, and a Sexual Abuse Specific Items Score, with norms by age and gender for these scales.
It also yields scores on 9 domains: 1) Boundary Problems, 2) Exhibitionism, 3) Gender Role Behavior, 4) Self- Stimulation, 5) Sexual Anxiety, 6) Sexual Interest, 7) Sexual Intrusiveness, 8) Sexual Knowledge, and 9) Voyeuristic Behavior.
The CSBI is a revision of the CSBI-R and CSBI-1. It contains 22 of the items from the previous version, with the remaining items reworded for greater readability (Friedrich et al., 2001).
