  • Title: The Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale: a rational/theoretical approach.
    Author: Szymanski DM, Chung YB.
    Journal: J Homosex; 2001; 41(2):37-52. PubMed ID: 11482427.
    Abstract:
    This article reports the development and psychometric properties of a new scale that measures internalized homophobia in lesbians: the Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale (LIHS). This 52-item measure was developed using a rational/theoretical approach of test construction and includes five subscales. Research findings, based on a sample of 303 female participants, supported the reliability and validity of the LIHS in assessing internalized homophobia in lesbians. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
