积极的家庭功能与吸毒、性危险行为和抑郁呈负相关；然而，现有的家庭功能衡量标准并不是专门为拉丁裔/o/x性少数族裔青年(LSMY)制定的。这项研究考察了家庭功能的因素结构，以及它是否随性取向(即LSMY和异性恋拉丁裔/o/x青年)而不变。参与者包括454名拉丁裔/o/x青年(LSMY：N= 115，25.3%)。结果产生了由父母参与、积极的父母教养、亲子沟通和父母监督组成的较高层次的家庭功能因素。符合样本的模型是可接受的(CFI/RMSEA = .91/.04)，构型不变性表明该模型在两组中都很好地符合数据(CFI/RMSEA=.87/.05)。度量不变性模型(Δχ2(42)=54.83，p=0.09，ΔCfi，ΔRMSEA，ΔTli；.001)的拟合度并不比结构模型差，但标量不变性模型(Δχ2(42)=80.18，p&t；.001，ΔCfi=.01，ΔRMSEA，ΔTli；.001)显著差于约束较少的模型，这表明家庭功能在性取向方面是非不变的。非不变性可能与LSMY与性取向相关的独特经历有关，这些经历没有被现有的家庭功能衡量标准所涵盖。
Positive family functioning is negatively associated with drug use, sexual risk behaviors, and depression; however, existing measures of family functioning were not specifically developed for Latina/o/x sexual minority youth (LSMY). This study examined the factor structure of family functioning and whether it is invariant across sexual orientation (i.e., LSMY and heterosexual Latina/o/x youth). Participants included 454 Latina/o/x youth (LSMY:n= 115, 25.3%). Results yielded a higher-order family functioning factor consisting of parental involvement, positive parenting, parent-adolescent communication, and parental monitoring. The model fit for the sample was acceptable (CFI/RMSEA = .91/.04) and configural invariance indicated that the model fit the data adequately in both groups (CFI/RMSEA = .87/.05). Fit of the metric invariance model (Δχ2(42) = 54.83,p= .09, ΔCFI, ΔRMSEA, ΔTLI < .001) was not significantly worse than the configural model, however, the scalar invariance model (Δχ2(42) = 80.18,p< .001, ΔCFI = .01, ΔRMSEA, ΔTLI < .001) was significantly worse than the less constrained models, suggesting that family functioning was noninvariant with regard to sexual orientation. Noninvariance may be related to the unique experiences of LSMY related to sexual orientation that are not captured in existing measures of family functioning.
