TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Convergent validity of three posttraumatic symptoms inventories among adult sexual abuse survivors JO - Journal of Traumatic Stress A1 - Gold, J. W. A1 - CardeƱa, E. SP - 173 EP - 180 VL - 11 IS - 1 N2 - We examined the convergent validity of three posttraumatic symptoms inventories, the civilian version of the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD (CM-PTSD), the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40 (TSC-40), and the Response to Childhood Incest Questionnaire (RCIQ), in a sample of 52 adult sexual abuse survivors. The significant and moderate to strong correlations (r = .6 or higher) among these inventories supported their convergent validity. Comparison with other studies also suggests that these instruments can adequately discriminate clinical from nonclinical populations.
