AB - This study aimed to translate and validate the Korean version of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale (K-BCEs). Using translation and back-translation procedures, data were collected from 500 university students. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original one-factor structure, with all 10 items meeting criteria for convergent validity. The K-BCEs showed significant negative correlations with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), depression, and anxiety, and positive correlations with perceived parental warmth and psychological well-being, demonstrating criterion validity. Nomological network analysis further indicated that perceived parental warmth predicted K-BCEs scores, which in turn predicted lower levels of depression and anxiety. Hierarchical regression analyses confirmed the incremental validity of the K-BCEs beyond demographic variables and ACEs. Overall, the findings suggest that the K-BCEs is a reliable and valid tool for assessing positive childhood experiences in the Korean context. The scale represents a valuable resource for research and practice focused on promoting mental health and supporting healthy development in children and adolescents.
