Purpose: This study evaluates the psychometric properties of Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ) based on the lifetime victimization and traumatic experiences reported by Indian adolescents.
Method: A cohort of 350 adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years, from various schools in Aligarh District of India participated in this study.
Result: The JVQ’s content validity using Fleiss Kappa analysis, Unidimensionality, and item and person reliability were assessed through rasch measurement model. Moreover, the analysis yielded promising result for the JVQ, indicating high reliability, the Fleiss Kappa score of 0.92 suggest an almost perfect agreement, while the person and item reliability scores were recorded at 0.70 and 0.90, respectively.
Conclusion: This initial study supports the JVQ’s potential reliability and validity, suggesting it could be foundational tool for broader research across multiple locations.
