| Research Abstract |
The self-reported delinquency scale (SRDS), which is used to measure the degree of delinquency, has not been established in Japan. Thus, we attempted to construct the SRDS and confirm its reliability and validity in reference to precedent studies in the U.S. and Europe. An examination of the validity was carried out mainly using item response theory (IRT). The test-retest method was used to evaluate the reliability. The main findings are as follows: it is effective to use IRT for the development of SRDS ; and the SRDS we developed has moderate reliability.
