Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) in a Dutch population. The participants in this study were 373 heterosexual couples: 305 couples with a sexual problem and 68 student couples (test-retest). Evidence for a 12-factor solution corresponding to the original 12 subscales of GRISS was found, although some of the subscales were rather highly correlated. The homogeneity of the 12 GRISS subscales, as determined by mean interitem correlations, item-rest correlations, and Cronbach's coefficient alpha, was satisfactory to good. The test-retest reliability of the GRISS scales was sufficient. The GRISS subscales were reasonably stable with respect to age, duration of the relationship, and level of education. Furthermore, a higher order factor analysis on the 12 subscales suggested a male and a female sexual dissatisfaction factor.
