Psychometric Exploration of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test in Veterans
Abstract
Patrick Carnes (1989) Carnes, P. J. 1989. Contrary to love: Helping the sexual addict, Minneapolis, MN: CompCare Publishers. [Google Scholar] developed the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST) to identify individuals at risk for sexual addiction. Using two groups of veterans from an addictions treatment program (N = 313, N = 316), this research explored the psychometric properties of the SAST and explored the feasibility of reducing the length of the SAST. Results suggested that the SAST measured a single construct with excellent reliability and acceptable convergent and divergent validity. Examination of the shortened SAST provided some initial support for a six-item SAST version. Finally, a wide-ranging pattern of significant correlations between personality disorders and sexual addiction emerged.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
