Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to develop Korean version of Offer Self-Image Questionnaire-revised(OSIQ-R) designed to assess the self-image in adolescence. METHODS: We applied the translated OSIQ-R to 1,602 Korean middle school and Korean higher school adolescents and conducted retest with 6 weeks' interval. Together with OSIQ-R, Korean form of Symptom Checklist 90-R was applied to all subjects for testing of concurrent validity. We also examined whether this scale discriminates between clinical and normal population in the self-image. RESULTS: Test-retest reliability, internal consistency were very much satisfactory and concurrent validity with other scales. There were significant differences by school, sex and locality in the global self-image. However, comparison of normal and conduct disorder adolescents failed to show significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: In global self-image, reliability and validity of OSIQ-R were sufficient. To get the further validity, more comparative studies of clinical population are required. Additional studies like this, will establish basic normative data and make Korean form of OSIQ-R more useful.
