Psychometric Validation of the Female Sexual Distress Scale in Male Samples.
Archives of Sexual Behavior 2018 August
This manuscript is the first to examine the psychometric properties of the Female Sexual Distress Scale in samples of sexually functional and dysfunctional men, herein called the Sexual Distress Scale (SDS). A sample of 127 sexually dysfunctional men and 267 sexually functional men completed an online survey that included a sociodemographic questionnaire, a health questionnaire, the SDS, as well as measures of sexual bother and concerns, sexual function, sexual attitudes, and mood states. We also used a sample of 188 sexually dysfunctional and 155 sexually functional women from previous studies. Results showed that the SDS assesses one general domain of sexual distress. The factor structure was invariant across gender and sexual function status. The SDS also showed good content, construct, and criterion validity, as well as good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest reliability. Finally, the SDS discriminated well between sexually functional and sexually dysfunctional men. These results show that the SDS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing sexual distress in men. This instrument can be used by researchers and clinicians to examine sexual distress and can be used to elucidate how sexual distress relates to sexual function, well-being and quality of life.
