This study investigated the reliability and validity of Korean Children’s Somatozation Inventory(K-CSI) for high school students. Subjects were 1,590 first and second grade high school students in Seoul, Busan and Gyeonggi Province. They were assessed by Korean Children’s Somatization Inventory and Somatization Scale of Symptom Checklist-Revised(SCL-90-R). Factor 1 was pain and weakness, Factor 2 was conversion or pseudoneurological symptoms, Factor 3 was gastrointestinal symptoms, Factor 4 was visual symptoms, but factor analysis revealed somewhat different results compared to those of elementary school children. Total score of K-CSI was significantly correlated with every sub-scales. K-CSI was significantly correlated with Somatization Scale of Symptom Checklist-Revised(SCL-90-R). Total and sub scales of K-CSI produced high internal consistency reliability. Girls had significantly higher scores on the K-CSI than did boys. Most commonly reported symptoms were headaches, dizziness, bloating, stomach pain and blurred vision. The implications, limitations of these findings and suggestions for further research were discussed.
