Abstract

Lebanon lacks the proper instruments to detect and screen for child abuse potential. This study aimed to adapt the Child Abuse Potential Inventory (CAPI) for the Arabic/Lebanese society. The participants of the study were 350 caregivers from Lebanese society. In terms of the validity analysis, construct and criterion-related validity analyses were employed. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed a construct of 12 factors and 153 items. In the criterion-related validity analysis, both CAPI and Depression, Anxiety, Stress scale (DASS) scales were found to be significantly correlated ( p < .05). In terms of the reliability analysis, internal consistency was computed by using Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient. The reliability coefficient was found to be .838 for the total scores of CAPI. Based on these results, the Arabic version of CAPI is considered a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for detecting and screening child abuse potential in an Arabic/Lebanese sample.
