“…In order to compare a specific construct between groups it is fundamental to use equivalent instruments for avoid reporting bias in the assessment (Muñiz et al, 2013, Sánchez et al, 2017) and to obtain reliable data (Marchal-Bertrand et al, 2016). Factorial invariance analyzes the degree to which an instrument measures the same construct in different groups (Pineda, Martín-Vivar, Sandín, & Piqueras, 2018) and, as such, can make precise comparisons between them (e.g., between men and women).…”

Background/Objective : Orgasm Rating Scale (ORS) assess the subjective orgasm experience in context of sexual relationship. It is composed of four dimensions attributed to the orgasm (Affective, Sensory, Intimacy, and Rewards). The purpose is to analyse the factorial invariance of the ORS across groups, to examine the metric equivalence across sex, and to present the standard scores. Method : A total of 1,472 Spanish adults (715 men and 757 women) were evaluated. They were distributed across age groups (18-34, 35-49 and 50 years old and older). Factorial invariance across different groups and the differential functioning of the items across sex were analyzed, internal consistency was examined, and the standard scores were developed. Results : The structure of the ORS showed strict measurement invariance across sex, relationship status, sexual orientation and education level. It also reached a scalar measurement invariance across age range and duration of the relationship. Some items showed a differential functioning between sexes. Conclusions : The Spanish version of the ORS is invariant across different groups at a factorial level, and it shows equivalence across sex in most of its items at a metric level. The standard scores allow a more accurate assessment of the subjective orgasm experience in context of sexual relationship.

Attitudes toward sexuality are a key variable for sexual health. It is really important for psychology and education to have adapted and validated questionnaires to evaluate these attitudes. Therefore, the objective of this research was to adapt, validate and calculate the equivalence of the Colombia Sexual Opinion Survey as compared to the same survey from Spain. To this end, a total of eight experts were consulted and 1,167 subjects from Colombia and Spain answered the Sexual Opinion Survey, the Sexual Assertiveness Scale, the Massachusetts General Hospital-Sexual Functioning Questionnaire, and the Sexuality Scale. The evaluation was conducted by online and the results show adequate qualitative and quantitative properties of the items, with adequate reliability and external validity and compliance with the strong invariance between the two countries. Consequently, the Colombia Sexual Opinion Survey is a valid and reliable scale and its scores can be compared with the ones from the Spain survey, with minimum bias.

“…O MGH-SFQ foi traduzido e adaptado da versão original para português europeu por dois psicólogos clínicos especialistas em sexologia pela Ordem dos Psicólogos Portugueses. Dada a simplicidade do questionário, optou-se por reproduzir os procedimentos de adaptação cultural previamente feitos para as versões espanhola e colombiana, 25,26 sujeitaram-se os itens a uma avaliação de quatro peritos na área da psicometria e sexologia, como forma de garantir a sua adequação. Todos os peritos avaliaram positivamente a representatividade dos itens ao constructo (funcionamento sexual) de forma clara, concisa e sem ambiguidades.…”

“…Não obstante, surgem na literatura muitos instrumentos cujo propósito é avaliar o funcionamento sexual, 18---22 um deles é o Massachusetts General Hospital ---Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (MGH-SFQ), 23 desenvolvido com base no Guided Interview Questionnaire e no Arizona Sexual Experience Scale 24 e que, para além da validação original americana, já tem validações para a população espanhola 25 e a colombiana. 26 O MGH-SFQ tem sido usado como medida fiável do funcionamento sexual em populações normativas e na identificação de disfunções sexuais em populações clínicas, notadamente com psicopatologia, 27---29 mas não existe versão psicometricamente validada para a população portuguesa. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi adaptar e validar o MGH--SFQ numa amostra de homens e mulheres portugueses.…”

Introduction: Sexual dysfunctions are a high prevalence health problem, making it necessary to provide assessment instruments adapted to the Portuguese population. Methods: The purpose of this study was to validate the Massachusetts General Hospital-Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (MGH-SFQ) for the Portuguese population. Participants in this study were 1079 Portuguese adults who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the MGH-SFQ. The participants' ages varied between 18 and 89 years of age (M = 29.66; SD = 13.05), and 32.6% (n = 352) were men and 67.4% (n = 727) were women. Results: The Cronbach's alpha obtained was .91 and the psychometric properties of the scale were adequate. The validation of the construct was evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis, setting up a suitable one-dimensional model (RMSEA = .041, CFI = .974). Discussion: Taking into account the results of the psychometric validation, the sample size and the applicability of this instrument in clinical and sexological practice, we can confirm that this is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate the sexual functioning of both Portuguese men and women.
