Abstract

The Sexual Satisfaction Scale for Women (SSS-W) is a psychometrically sound, widely used instrument for assessing sexual satisfaction and distress in women. Because the majority of scale items are gender nonspecific, numerous researchers have adapted this scale for use in male samples. The goal of the current study was to assess the reliability and validity of a slightly modified version of the SSS-W in a male sample (N = 268). A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of five previously established factors provided evidence for consistency of internal structure in men. The adapted scale (SSS) exhibited acceptable test-retest reliability, as well as evidence for validity based on relationships with theoretically predicted variables. Taken together, there is evidence to suggest that the SSS may be a reliable and valid psychometric tool for the measurement of sexual satisfaction and distress in both men and women.

男性使用的五因素性满意度量表(SSS-W)的心理测量评估和适应性:性满意度量计(SSS)。
妇女性满意度量表(SSS-W)是一种心理测量学健全、广泛用于评估妇女性满意度和性痛苦的工具。由于大多数量表项目都是性别非特异性的,许多研究人员将该量表用于男性样本。本研究的目的是评估男性样本(N = 268)。对五个先前确定的因素进行的验证性因素分析为男性内部结构的一致性提供了证据。适应量表(SSS)显示出可接受的重测可靠性,以及基于与理论预测变量关系的有效性证据。总之,有证据表明,SSS可能是衡量男性和女性性满意度和性痛苦的可靠有效的心理测量工具。
