Abstract

The purpose of this study was to translate and validate the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale(LGBIS), which is a scale measuring the multidimensional identities of sexual minorities. For this, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis using a sample of 201 LGBs(homosexuals and bisexuals). Identical to the original scale, eight factors were extracted from the translated scale(i.e., concealment motivation, identity uncertainty, internalized homonegativity, difficult process, acceptance concerns, identity superiority, identity centrality, and identity affirmation), but one item was removed. In addition, the reliability coefficients of the eight factors except for concealment Motivation were satisfactory. The Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 8-factor model had a good fit to the data. Finally, to verify the criterion validity, correlation among each eight factor and the scales measuring the identity related scale and the psychological-functioning scale were analyzed. In conclusion, the Korean version of the LGBIS consists of 8 factors and 26 items in total. Also it was found to be a valid measure for LGBS in Korea as well.

본 연구에서는 동성애자와 양성애자의 정체성을 다차원적으로 측정하기 위해 Mohr와 Kendra(2011)가 개발한 The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale(LGBIS)을 한국어로 번안하고 타당화하였다. 이를 위해, 한국어로 번역한 LGBIS를 201명의 동성애자와 양성애자에게 실시하여 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였고, 그 결과, 요인 부하량이 낮은 한 문항을 삭제하고 8개 하위요인(26문항)으로 한국판 LGBIS를 구성하였다. 8개 하위요인은 원척도와 동일하게 수용걱정, 은닉 동기, 정체성 불확신, 내면화된 동성애 부정, 고된 과정, 정체성 우월, 정체성 긍정, 정체성 중심이었다. 또한, 한국판 LGBIS의 신뢰도를 살펴본 결과, '은닉 동기'를 제외한 모든 하위요인의 내적합치도는 만족스러운 것으로 확인되었다. 다음으로, 210명의 동성애자와 양성애자를 대상으로 확인적 요인분석을 통해 8요인 모형(26문항)이 양호한 적합도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 한국판 LGBIS의 타당도 검증을 위해, 각 하위요인과 정체성 및 심리적 기능을 측정하는 척도간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 한국판 LGBIS는 총 26문항, 8개 하위요인으로 구성된 척도로, 국내 동성애자와 양성자에게 사용하기에 타당한 것으로 확인되었다.
