Abstract
STARITZKY, Tatiana Casado de et al. Loyola Generativity Scale and Generative Behavior Checklist: A Psychometric Study with Spanish LGBT+ Older Adults. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2024, vol.serVI, n.3, e31274. Epub May 14, 2024. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rvi23.64.31274.
Background:
Generativity has been associated with resilience and life satisfaction in older age, including among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) older adults.
Objective:
To examine the psychometric properties of the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS) and Generative Behavior Checklist (GBC) for Spanish LGBT+ older adults (over the age of 50).
Methodology:
A psychometric study was conducted with 141 Spanish LGBT+ older adults to examine the construct validity (exploratory factor analysis), convergent validity, and reliability (internal consistency) of the LGS and the GBC.
Results:
Parallel and exploratory factor analyses suggested a two-factor model with good sample adequacy for both scales. The LGS explained 45.1% of the variance and had an internal consistency of 0.78. The GBC explained 41.76 % of the variance and had an internal consistency of 0.879. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between life satisfaction and the generative scales. A positive and significant correlation (rs = 0.310) was also observed between both instruments.
Conclusion:
Both instruments proved valid and reliable for measuring generativity in Spanish LGBT+ older adults.
