我们检验了性强迫量表用于评估hiv阳性男性和女性的信度和效度。从社区招募的287名男性和女性中收集的测量结果显示，性强迫量表对男性（alpha = 0.89）和女性（alpha = 0.92）是可靠的。其中大多数是非裔美国人，年龄在30岁以上。与性行为测量和性伴侣数量的相关性支持了性强迫量表对男性和女性的同时有效性。包括参与者年龄、非酒精类药物使用、性强迫量表、特质焦虑、强迫症、未来悲观主义、认知抑郁和边缘性人格特征得分在内的判别函数分析结果表明，在过去3个月内有1或无性伴侣和有多个性伴侣的男性和女性中，性强迫有明显的区别。为标准相关效度提供证据。性强迫得分与其他精神病理学指标的关联在男性和女性中表现出不同的模式；性强迫与男性的精神病理指标相关，而与女性无关。我们的结论是，性强迫量表在评估感染艾滋病毒的男性和女性方面是可靠和有效的，尽管性强迫在其他形式的精神病理方面可能在性别之间表现不同。
We examined the reliability and validity of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale for use in assessing HIV-positive men and women. Measures collected from 287 men and women recruited from the community, the majority of whom were African American and over the age of 30, showed that the Sexual Compulsivity Scale was reliable for men (alpha = .89) and women (alpha = .92). Correlations with measures of sexual behaviors and numbers of sex partners supported the concurrent validity of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale for men and women. Results of discriminant function analyses that included participant age, use of nonalcohol drugs, the Sexual Compulsivity Scale, and scores on measures of trait anxiety, obsessive-compulsiveness, future pessimism, cognitive depression, and borderline personality characteristics showed that sexual compulsivity clearly discriminated between persons with 1 or no sex partners and persons with multiple partners in the past 3 months, for both men and women, suggesting evidence for criterion-related validity. Associations between sexual compulsivity scores and other markers of psychopathology showed different patterns for men and women; sexual compulsivity was associated with indexes of psychopathology in men but not in women. We conclude that the Sexual Compulsivity Scale is reliable and valid in assessing men and women infected with HIV, although sexual compulsivity may present differently between genders in relation to other forms of psychopathology.
