Measurement Invariance of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale short form
The objective was to assess the incremental validity, internal consistency and temporal stability of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale short version (NSSS-S) in Spanish-speaking Latino adults. The sample included 401 university students (232 women and 169 men), sexually active, 18 to 38 years old (M...

| description | The objective was to assess the incremental validity, internal consistency and temporal stability of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale short version (NSSS-S) in Spanish-speaking Latino adults. The sample included 401 university students (232 women and 169 men), sexually active, 18 to 38 years old (M = 20.83; SD = 2.66). A subsample of 76 participants answered the scale four weeks after the first application. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) identified a two-factor structure. The invariance analysis with multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) confirmed the invariance by sex of the scale. The internal consistencyreliability of the scale and its subscales was excellent for both men and women (ω = .89 - .95) and the temporal stability, four weeks after the first application, was adequate (r = .74; ICC = .85). Finally, men scored higher in overall sexual satisfaction and the Ego-Centered subscale, but not in the Partner -and Sexual Activity-Centered subscale, as compared to women. To conclude, the NSSS-S is a psychometrically appropriate scale to measure sexual satisfaction in Spanish-speaking Latino adults. |

El objetivo fue evaluar la validez incremental, la consistencia interna y la estabilidad temporal de la Nueva Escala de Satisfacción Sexual versión corta. La muestra incluyó 401 universitarios (232 mujeres y 169 hombres), sexualmente activos, de 18 a 38 años de edad (M = 20.83; DE = 2.66). Una submuestra de 76 participantes respondió la escala cuatro semanas después de la primera aplicación. El análisis factorial confirmatorio identificó una estructura de dos factores. El análisis de invarianza, usando MGCFA confirmó la invarianza por sexo de la escala. La consistencia interna de la escala y sus subescalas fue excelente, tanto para hombres como para mujeres (ω = .89-.95) y la estabilidad temporal, cuatro semanas después de la primera aplicación, fue adecuada (r = .74; ICC = .85). Finalmente, los hombres puntuaron más alto en satisfacción sexual global y en Ego-Centered, pero no en Partner -and Sexual Activity-Centered, en comparación con las mujeres. La NSSS-S es una medida de satisfacción sexual psicométricamente apropiada para la población hispano-latina. Facultad de Psicología.
