Authors:
Toomey,
R. B., Anhalt, K., & Shramko, M.

Español
1 = No me describe en absolute,
2 = Me escribe un poco,
3 = Me describe bien,
4 = Me
describe muy bien
Subscales: There are three subscales (alpha values in parentheses):
Affirmation (Spearman-Brown
.81)
Exploration
(Spearman-Brown .61)
Resolution (alpha
.67)
Sample
items
1. I have attended events that have helped me learn about my sexual orientation, such as gay-straight alliance meetings or events at a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community center.
9. I have a clear sense of what my sexual orientation means to me.
Español
1. He asistido a eventos que me han ayudado a aprender más acerca de mi orientación sexual. Por ejemplo, he asistido al club de estudiantes GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance/Alianza Gay-Heterosexual) en mi escuela ó a eventos en el centro comunitario LGBT.
9. Tengo un sentido claro de lo que significa mi orientación sexual para mí.
Reliability: See the alpha values next to each
subscale above.
Validity:
The authors
used factor analysis to examine the structure of the scale.
“In terms
of construct validity, we found that SOI resolution and affirmation were both positively
associated with self-esteem and negatively correlated with internalized homonegativity.
SOI exploration, however, was not associated with self-esteem or internalized homonegativity.”
(Toomey et al., 2016, p. 499)
