| description | This article examines the psychometric properties of the Discrimination Perceived in the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender) Community Scale in a sample of Puerto Rican adults. A total of 305 individuals from the LGBT community participated in this exploratory and psychometric study. The results indicated that the scale fits better into a model of two factors. These factors are Personal Discrimination and Group Discrimination. A total of 20 items matched the criteria of discrimination and presented appropriate factor loadings (10 items by factor). The reliability index of the subscales was .89 (Cronbach’s alpha). These results suggest that the instrument has the potential to measure this construct among members of the LGBT community in Puerto Rico. |

El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Discriminación Percibida en la Comunidad LGBT (Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales y Transgénero) en una muestra de adultos puertorriqueños. Un total de 305 miembros de la comunidad LGBT participaron en este estudio de carácter exploratorio y psicométrico. Los resultados confirmaron que la escala posee una estructura de dos factores. Estos factores son discriminación individual y discriminación grupal. Un total de 20 ítems cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación y cargas factoriales apropiadas (10 ítems por factor). El índice de confiabilidad alfa de Cronbach para ambas subescalas fue .89. Estos resultados sugieren que la escala tiene el potencial para medir este constructo en miembros de la comunidad LGBT en Puerto Rico.
