在这项研究中，我们调查了一个单项指标是否能像多项量表一样准确地衡量人们对同性吸引力（“出柜”）的开放程度。对于多项目量表，我们使用了Outness Inventory，其中包括三个分量表：家庭，世界和宗教。我们研究了单项和多项措施之间的相关性;单项指标和多项量表的子量表之间的相关性;以及措施和内化同性恋，对同性恋的社会态度和抑郁症状之间的相关性。此外，我们还计算了Tjur的R2，作为单项指标、多项量表和多项量表子量表预测两种健康相关结局的预测能力的指标：抑郁症状和与多个伴侣进行无安全套肛交。单项和多项指标之间有很强的相关性（r = 0.73）。此外，单项指标与多项量表的每个分量表：家庭（r = 0.70）、世界（r = 0.77）和宗教（r = 0.50）之间存在强相关性。此外，单项指标和内化同负性之间的相关性（r =-0.63），社会对同性恋的态度（r =-0.38）和抑郁症（r =-0.14）高于多项目量表与内化同性恋（r =-0.55），对同性恋的社会态度（r =-0.21）和抑郁症（r =-0.13）之间的差异。与多项目测量上级于单项测量的前提相反，我们的集体研究结果表明，单项指标的外向度表现优于多项目规模的外向度。
In this study, we investigated if a single-item indicator measured the degree to which people were open about their same-sex attraction (“out”) as accurately as a multi-item scale. For the multi-item scale, we used the Outness Inventory, which includes three subscales: family, world, and religion. We examined correlations between the single- and multi-item measures; between the single-item indicator and the subscales of the multi-item scale; and between the measures and internalized homonegativity, social attitudes towards homosexuality, and depressive symptoms. In addition, we calculated Tjur’s R2 as a measure of predictive power of the single-item indicator, multi-item scale, and subscales of the multi-item scale in predicting two health-related outcomes: depressive symptoms and condomless anal sex with multiple partners. There was a strong correlation between the single- and multi-item measures (r = 0.73). Furthermore, there were strong correlations between the single-item indicator and each subscale of the multi-item scale: family (r = 0.70), world (r = 0.77), and religion (r = 0.50). In addition, the correlations between the single-item indicator and internalized homonegativity (r = −0.63), social attitudes towards homosexuality (r = −0.38), and depression (r = −0.14) were higher than those between the multi-item scale and internalized homonegativity (r = −0.55), social attitudes towards homosexuality (r = −0.21), and depression (r = −0.13). Contrary to the premise that multi-item measures are superior to single-item measures, our collective findings indicate that the single-item indicator of outness performs better than the multi-item scale of outness.
