Factor analysis of the sexual interaction inventory

N N McCoy, P A D'Agostino

    Archives of Sexual Behavior
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Factor analyses of the Sexual Interaction Inventory revealed psychologically meaningless results. The study highlights issues with the instrument's question format, data distribution, and logical structure for sexual dysfunction assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • The Sexual Interaction Inventory (SII) is used to assess sexual dysfunction.
    • Evaluating the psychometric properties of assessment tools is crucial for reliable clinical interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To perform factor analyses on the SII data from former sexual dysfunction clinic clients.
    • To identify the underlying factor structure of the SII.
    • To evaluate the psychometric validity and utility of the SII.

    Main Methods:

    • Oblique and orthogonal factor analyses were conducted.
    • Data were collected from 32 former clients of a sexual dysfunction clinic.
    • Statistical analysis of responses to the SII.

    Main Results:

    • Factor analyses yielded multiple factor sets.
    • The identified factor structures were deemed psychologically meaningless.
    • The results indicated significant psychometric limitations of the SII.

    Conclusions:

    • The SII demonstrates considerable psychometric weaknesses.
    • Issues identified include problematic question formatting, data distribution challenges, and a flawed logical structure.
    • The findings question the clinical utility and validity of the SII in assessing sexual dysfunction.
