The German version of the Bergen Yale Sex Addiction Scale (BYSAS): psychometric properties and initial steps of validation
Initial results suggest that the German version of the BYSAS is a promising screening instrument for sex addiction. However, further validation in clinical populations is essential to ensure generalizability and clinical utility. In addition, different risk levels as well as the mechanisms underlying hypersexuality need to be examined more closely.
