Abstract:
Family reactions to coming out can affect the mental health of individuals who disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity. Therefore, it is important to have an appropriate tool to assess them. The Perceived Parental Reactions Scale (PPRS) assessed perceived parental reactions to the disclosure of gay, lesbian, or bisexual sexual orientation by their children. We adapted the PPRS so that it can be answered by any individual belonging to a sexual or gender minority, and can be answered regarding any member of the family, not just parents. A total of 2627 individuals from Spain participated in this study, with a mean age of 31.59 (SD = 11.26). Participants completed the adapted PPRS questionnaire, now named the Family Reaction to Coming Out (FRCO). The FRCO assessed family reactions when disclosing their sexual orientation or gender identity. The majority of participants identified as cisgender men (47.5%) or cisgender women (44.9%), and as gay/lesbian (51.9%). A one-factor model emerged through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The FRCO displayed excellent internal consistency and demonstrated good levels of invariance for participants\' gender (male vs female vs nonbinary gender), family member\'s gender (male vs female), and type of family member (parents vs other family member). Supporting convergent validity, the FRCO has shown a positive correlation with fear of family reaction to coming out. These findings support the validity and reliability of the FRCO tool in assessing the reactions of any family member within the Spanish context.
摘要:
家庭对出柜的反应会影响透露性取向或性别认同的个人的心理健康。因此,重要的是要有一个适当的工具来评估它们。感知父母反应量表(PPRS)评估了感知父母对同性恋公开的反应,拉拉,或者孩子的双性恋性取向。我们调整了PPRS,以便任何属于性或性别少数群体的人都可以回答,可以回答任何家庭成员,不仅仅是父母。来自西班牙的2627个人参与了这项研究,平均年龄31.59岁(SD=11.26)。参与者完成了改编的PPRS问卷,现在被命名为家庭对出来的反应(FRCO)。FRCO评估了家庭在披露性取向或性别认同时的反应。大多数参与者确定为顺性男性(47.5%)或顺性女性(44.9%),和同性恋(51.9%)。通过探索性因素分析(EFA)和验证性因素分析(CFA),建立了单因素模型。FRCO表现出优异的内部一致性,并表现出参与者性别的良好不变性(男性vs女性vs非二元性别),家庭成员的性别(男性与女性),和家庭成员的类型(父母与其他家庭成员)。支持收敛有效性,FRCO显示出与家庭对出柜的恐惧呈正相关。这些发现支持FRCO工具在评估西班牙背景下任何家庭成员的反应时的有效性和可靠性。
