This study aimed to translate and validate the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder- Diagnostic Inventory (CSBD-DI), developed by Grubbs et al. (2023), into Korean. The CSBD-DI is based on the diagnostic criteria for Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD), which was recently classified as an impulse control disorder in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). A total of 403 Korean adults (202 males and 201 females; M_age = 46.1, SD = 13.44) participated in an online survey conducted by a survey agency. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 7-item Korean version of the CSBD-DI (K-CSBD-DI) displayed a unidimensional factor structure suitable for the Korean sample. The internal consistency was acceptable, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.73 and McDonald’s omega of 0.76. Convergent and discriminant validity were assessed through correlation analyses with the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS-K), the DSM-5 based Sex Addiction Scale (SAS), the Korean CSBD-19 scale (K-CSBD-19), the Korean version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (K-CES-D), and the Suicide Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS), demonstrating adequate validity levels. ROC analysis for identifying high-risk individuals suggested an optimal cutoff score of 1 point. Lastly, the study discusses key findings, implications, significance, and limitations.
