This study aimed to develop and verify psychometric properties of the sign language version of Thai-version -Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, victim scale in junior high school with hearing impairment and study about the experience being bullied in this group of students. The researcher translated the Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) Thai version was translated into sign language according to Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Culture Adaptation of Self-Report Measure. Content validity was verified using Index of Item Objective Congruence (IOC) by the 3-expert committee. The committee members consist of sign-language interpreter, hearing impaired and psychological expert. The results found that IOC score was greater than 0.50 for every item of the questionnaire. A pilot study was done excellently in 5-hearing impairment students on self-report questionnaire and sign language interview. 38 junior high school students from the School for the Deaf were enrolled. Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient of test-retest reliability was used to assess the reliability of the victim scale. Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient was 0.871 and intraclass correlation coefficient of test-retest reliability was 0.867 (95% CI 0.54-0.95). And, this study shows that the results suggest that the sign language version of Thai-version OBVQ, victim scale has good validity and reliability. It appears 47.37 % of student with hearing impairment being bullied at rate 2-3 time a month which is higher than reported by hearing students in another study before.
