目前的文章介绍了适应性取向自我概念的模糊性（SSA）从现有的一般自我概念清晰度的措施。潜在的“特质”的SSA分数反映了一个人对自己的性取向的信念被认为是不一致，不可靠或不一致的程度。性少数和异性恋妇女（n = 348），年龄18至30岁，完成了横断面调查。分类验证性因素分析指导项目的选择，形成一个10个项目，自我报告的测量SSA。在本报告中，我们还检查了（a）10项量表得分的可靠性，（B）基于受访者的性别认同状态和年龄组的测量不变性，以及（c）与先前存在的旨在测量类似结构和理论相关性的调查的相关性。证据的内部可靠性，测量不变性（基于受访者的性别），收敛效度也进行了调查，在一个独立的，验证样本。最低的SSA分数报告的妇女谁自认为完全异性恋或完全女同性恋/男同性恋的性身份，而那些谁报告双性恋，主要是女同性恋/男同性恋，或主要是异性恋的身份，报告相对较高的SSA分数。
The current article describes the adaptation of a measure of sexual orientation self-concept ambiguity (SSA) from an existing measure of general self-concept clarity. Latent “trait” scores of SSA reflect the extent to which a person's beliefs about their own sexual orientation are perceived as inconsistent, unreliable, or incongruent. Sexual minority and heterosexual women (n = 348), ages 18 to 30, completed a cross-sectional survey. Categorical confirmatory factor analysis guided the selection of items to form a 10-item, self-report measure of SSA. In the current report, we also examine (a) reliability of the 10-item scale score, (b) measurement invariance based on respondents' sexual identity status and age group, and (c) correlations with preexisting surveys that purport to measure similar constructs and theoretical correlates. Evidence for internal reliability, measurement invariance (based on respondent sex), and convergent validity was also investigated in an independent, validation sample. The lowest SSA scores were reported by women who self-ascribed an exclusively heterosexual or exclusively lesbian/gay sexual identity, whereas those who reported a bisexual, mostly lesbian/gay, or mostly heterosexual identity, reported relatively higher SSA scores.
