Abstract

Previous research with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and various sexually and gender diverse (LGBTQ+) people has largely highlighted how experiences of discrimination and marginalization, and mental health outcomes are related. However, it is important that researchers operate from a strength‐based approach to identify how aspects of one's identity may foster resilience. It is crucial that people working with LGBTQ+ individuals have empirically supported and culturally verified measures to assess such constructs. In this regard, the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Positive Identity Measure (LGB‐PIM) developed by Riggle et al. (2014) was aimed to be translated into Turkish, examining its psychometric properties and validity using a sample of 450 LGBTQ+ people from Turkey. Participants' mean age was 22.44 (SD = 4.61; range = 18–47) and most of them were educated. The five‐factor structure of the LGB‐PIM and its five subscales (authenticity, community, intimacy, self‐awareness, and social justice) was validated by the findings of confirmatory factor analyses. Future researchers may wish to use LGB‐PIM in studies that are designed to understand positive aspects among LGBTQ+ individuals such as resilience and coping and their associations with any type of close relationships (i.e., romantic relationships, friendships, family relations).

测量 LGBTQ+ 的积极认同感：土耳其女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋积极认同测量的心理计量特性

以往对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、同性恋者以及各种性取向和性别多样化（LGBTQ+）人群的研究在很大程度上强调了歧视和边缘化经历与心理健康结果之间的关系。然而，重要的是，研究人员要从以力量为基础的方法出发，来确定个人身份的各个方面是如何促进复原力的。对于从事 LGBTQ+ 工作的人员来说，至关重要的是要有经验支持和文化验证的措施来评估此类构建。在这方面，Riggle 等人（2014 年）开发的女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋积极身份测量法（LGB-PIM）旨在翻译成土耳其语，并使用来自土耳其的 450 名 LGBTQ+ 人士样本对其心理测量特性和有效性进行检验。参与者的平均年龄为 22.44 岁（SD = 4.61；范围 = 18-47），大多数人受过教育。确认性因子分析的结果验证了 LGB-PIM 的五因子结构及其五个子量表（真实性、社区、亲密关系、自我意识和社会正义）。未来的研究人员不妨在研究中使用 LGB-PIM 来了解 LGBTQ+ 个人的积极方面，如恢复力和应对能力及其与任何类型亲密关系（即恋爱关系、友谊、家庭关系）的关联。
