관계 내 사이버 공격 척도 한국판(CARS-K)의 타당화 연구

초록

This study validated the Cyber Aggression in Relationships Scale (CARS), developed for measuring cyber intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences, in a Korean context. Data were collected from 300 unmarried Korean adults, aged 19 to 39, who had been in intimate relationships for at least six months. An item analysis was conducted on all 34 items. This 34-item scale was included in reliability testing, item factor analysis (IFA), and convergent validity assessments. The results of IFA and scaled chi-square difference tests indicated the three-factor models showed better fit indices for both perpetration and victimization. Furthermore, the CARS-K showed appropriate internal consistency as well as convergent validity. These findings confirm that the CARS-K is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing cyber IPV.
