A Critique of the GPSQ-2 Questionnaire Validation: Methodological Approaches and the Definition of Distress
1Department of Elementary School Teacher Education, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia.
Abstract:
This critique examines the validation of the Gender Preoccupation and Stability Questionnaire (GPSQ-2), focusing on methodological limitations and the narrow definition of distress. While the GPSQ-2 expands its scope to include adolescents, it overlooks broader emotional and social dimensions of gender dysphoria, such as shame and societal stigma. The critique also questions the psychometric robustness of the instrument and its reliance on a unidimensional model. Suggestions for further refinement include expanding the sample size and improving the measure's conceptual depth to better capture diverse experiences.
