Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory Short Form (CSBI-SF): Development and Psychometric Evaluation

The Compulsive Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI-13) assesses concerns related to compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) and has previously demonstrated strong psychometric properties. To enhance research and clinical screening utility, a short-form of the CSBI-13 was developed by modifying the CSBI-13 to items that screen for CSB and potential CSBD diagnosis. Using a confirmatory factor analytic approach, the resulting five-item CSBI-SF demonstrated strong model fit and internal consistency comparable to the original CSBI-13, as well as associations with other CSB measures and known correlates (religiosity, attachment style, and emotion dysregulation). The CSBI-SF provides a valid and reliable brief assessment of CSB.
