Objectives. The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale (LGBIS) is a well-known scale used to understand shared dimensions of sexual identity in otherwise diverse groups of non-heterosexuals. Yet only limited knowledge is available regarding the generalizability of the underlying psychological processes in regions such as Central and Eastern Europe. This study thus revisits the foundations of LGBIS and provides an in-depth examination of the psychometric properties of the new Czech adaptation. Method. The factor structure of LGBIS-CZ-6 was inspected via SEM. Convergent and content validity were examined via correlations with measures of related constructs (among others, psychological distress, suicidality, life satisfaction, social support, heterosexist harassment, rejection, and discrimination). Results. The results replicated the original structure of LGBIS on the Czech sample (N = 1 788) and proposed a better-fitting bifactor model. Generally, since LGBIS correlated with the majority of measures of related constructs in a predicted fashion, LGBIS-CZ-6 may be used as a well-functioning measure of the identity of non-heterosexuals. However, two subscales – internalized homonegativity and acceptance concerns showed problems with validity that might have arisen from Czech cultural specifics or by factors specific to broader post-socialist environments.
Úvod: Tato studie hodnotí psychometrické vlastnosti české adaptace Škály suicidální ideace (Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale, SIDAS) vyvinuté za účelem snadné online administrace a hodnotí její použití u LGBT+ osob. Metody: Pomocí konfirmační faktorové analýzy jsme zkoumali faktorovou strukturu a invarianci měření napříč jednotlivými LGBT+ skupinami ve výběrovém souboru 1 778 zúčastněných. Výsledky: Naše data podporují jednofaktorovou strukturu SIDAS a částečnou invarianci měření, což umožňuje porovnávání suicidální ideace mezi jednotlivými skupinami LGBT+ osob. SIDAS koreluje se škálami měřícími pocit osamělosti, dysregulaci emocí, vnímaný stres, ruminaci a životní spokojenost. Diskuse: SIDAS představuje cenný nástroj pro hodnocení sebevražedných myšlenek u LGBT+ osob, je vhodný pro online použití a má potenciál usnadňovat vývoj, plánování i vyhodnocování účinnosti cílených intervencí. Budoucí výzkum by měl prozkoumat stabilitu skóru v čase a vývoj dalších proměnných pro hodnocení závažnosti suicidality.
Introduction: This study assessed the psychometric properties of Czech adaptation of the Suicidal Ideation Assessment Scale (SIDAS) developed to enable online administration and evaluates its use among LGBT+ people. Methods: Using confirmatory factor analysis, we examined factor structure and measurement invariance across LGBT+ subgroups within a sample consisting of 1 778 participants. Results: We found a consistent one-factor structure and partial measurement invariance, enabling comparisons. SIDAS showed strong convergent validity with loneliness, emotion dysregulation, stress, rumination, and life satisfaction. Discussion: The adapted SIDAS proves valuable for assessing suicidal ideation within the LGBT+ community and is suitable for online administration; as such, it may help guide and assess the effects of targeted interventions. Future research should explore temporal dynamics and additional variables for severity assessment.
