Abstract
- In this study, we intended to examine the psychometric propensities of the traditional Chinese version of the Gay Community Stress Scale-Cognition subscale (GCSS-C) for measuring gay community stress experienced by gay and bisexual men (GBM) in Taiwan. Methods: Totally 736 GBM participated in this study and completed the traditional Chinese version of the GCSS-C, the Measure of Internalized Sexual Stigma for Lesbians and Gay Men (MISS-LG), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Scale (STAI-S), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results: In exploratory factor analysis, we found that a five-factor structure (i.e., Sex, Status, Competition, Exclusion, and Externals) for the 32-item traditional Chinese version of the GCSS-C among Taiwanese GBM had significantly positive correlations in validity with MISS-LG (p < 0.001), STAI-S (p < 0.001), and CES-D (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The traditional Chinese version of GCSS-C has been found to have satisfactory psychometric properties in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
