Sample
items
1.
People probably do not take me seriously when I tell them I am bisexual.
24.
I would be better off if I would identify as gay or straight, rather than
bisexual
Reliability: Coefficient alphas range from .73
to .93 for the
Validity: All subscales except Identity
Affirmation were significantly correlated with depression (Center for
Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale). Identity affirmation was
significantly positively correlated with a measure of outness (Outness
Inventory).
