“…Nevertheless, a recent study of the Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults (GIDYQ-AA) showed that an item (No. 16,''wish or desire to be opposite sex'') with similar wording as the ASRI-4 GD item demonstrated a very high factor loading (0.93) and corrected item-total correlation (0.91) with the GIDYQ-AA as a whole (Deogracias et al, 2007), implying that this single item is core to and corresponds well to the whole construct of GD.…”

There have been no published reports regarding the epidemiological and psychiatric features of gender dysphoria in non-clinical young adults. The current study aimed to investigate the demographics, co-occurring psychiatric symptoms, and perceived parenting style and family support in Taiwanese young adults with gender dysphoria. The sample consisted of 5010 university freshmen (male, 51.6%) with a mean age of 19.6 years (SD = 2.7) from a national university in Taiwan. The questionnaires used for this university-based survey included the Adult Self Report Inventory-4 for psychopathology (including gender dysphoria), the Parental Bonding Instrument for parenting style, and the Family APGAR for perceived family support. Results showed that gender dysphoria was more prevalent in females (7.3%) than males (1.9%). Young adults with gender dysphoria were more likely to meet a wide but specific range of co-occurring psychiatric symptoms. The most significantly associated symptoms for males were agoraphobia, hypochondriasis, manic episode, and pathological gambling, and for females dissociative disorder, hypochondriasis, and body dysmorphic disorder. Both males and females with gender dysphoria perceived significantly less support from their families and less affection/care from both parents. Findings suggest that gender dysphoria, associated with a specific range of psychopathology and family/parenting dissatisfaction (with both similar and dissimilar patterns between sexes), is not uncommon in Taiwanese university students, particularly in females. This implies the importance of attention and specific measures to offset psychiatric conditions and to promote mental well-being of this population.

“…Five of the 11 items in the Paraphilic Interests Scale assess voyeurism, exhibitionism, or frotteurism, which might explain this otherwise unexpected finding. In addition, gender dysphoria, as measured by the GIDYQ-AA (Deogracias et al, 2007), was negatively predicted by the Anatomic Autogynephilia subscale over and above the other subscales. This finding was unexpected because anatomic autogynephilia has previously predicted gender dysphoria (Blanchard, 1993a, b).…”

“…Scores on this measure were calculated by taking the average reported frequency (1 = never to 5 = always) on the 27 items; thus, higher scores indicated higher levels of gender dysphoria. It should be noted, however, that in Deogracias et al (2007), lower scores on the GIDYQ-AA indicated higher levels of gender dysphoria. Thus, for ease in interpretation, we reversed the anchors on this 5-point scale, but in line with the original measure, Items 1, 13, and 27 were reverse-scored.…”

“…Gender Identity/Gender Dysphoria Questionnaire for Adolescents and Adults (GIDYQ-AA; Deogracias et al, 2007) The GIDYQ-AA includes 27 items assessing the frequency of gender dysphoric behaviors and thoughts in the past year. Scores on this measure were calculated by taking the average reported frequency (1 = never to 5 = always) on the 27 items; thus, higher scores indicated higher levels of gender dysphoria.…”

The Psychometric Structure of Items Assessing Autogynephilia

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Autogynephilia, or paraphilic sexual arousal in a man to the thought or image of himself as a woman, manifests in a variety of different behaviors and fantasies. We examined the psychometric structure of 22 items assessing five known types of autogynephilia by subjecting them to exploratory factor analysis in a sample of 149 autogynephilic men. Results of oblique factor analyses supported the ability to distinguish five group factors with suitable items. Results of hierarchical factor analyses suggest that the five group factors were strongly underlain by a general factor of autogynephilia. Because the general factor accounted for a much greater amount of the total variance of the 22 items than did the group factors, the types of autogynephilia that a man has seem less important than the degree to which he has autogynephilia. However, the five types of autogynephilia remain conceptually useful because meaningful distinctions were found among them, including differential rates of endorsement and differential ability to predict other relevant variables like gender dysphoria. Factor-derived scales and subscales demonstrated good internal consistency reliabilities, and validity, with large differences found between autogynephilic men and heterosexual male controls. Future research should attempt to replicate our findings, which were mostly exploratory.
