Internalized homophobia has been related to mental health problems and sexual risk behaviors among nonheterosexual people. This article validates the Spanish adaptation of the Short Internalized Homonegativity Scale (SIHS). For this purpose, 347 men and 183 women completed the instrument. Exploratory factorial analysis showed three factors: public identification as homosexual (PIH), sexual comfort with homosexual people (SEXC), and social comfort with homosexual people (SOCC). These factors explained 57.96% of total variance. In addition, confirmatory factorial analysis supported this structure and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) was.80 for the full scale. The three subscales ranged from.70 to.79. Convergent validity showed a positive correlation between the SIHS and depressive symptoms, and negative correlation with condom use, self-esteem, and having sex after alcohol consumption. In conclusion, the SIHS could be an accurate instrument to evaluate internalized homophobia among the Spanish population.
内化的恐同心理与非异性恋者的心理健康问题及性风险行为有关。本文验证了西班牙语版简短内化性恐同量表（SIHS）。为此，347名男性和183名女性完成了该量表。探索性因素分析显示出三个因素：公开认同为同性恋（PIH）、与同性恋者的性舒适度（SEXC）以及与同性恋者的社交舒适度（SOCC）。这些因素解释了总方差的57.96%。此外，验证性因素分析支持了这一结构，全量表的内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数）为0.80。三个分量表的系数范围在0.70至0.79之间。聚合效度表明，SIHS与抑郁症状呈正相关，与避孕套使用、自尊以及酒后性行为呈负相关。总之，SIHS可能是评估西班牙人群内化恐同心理的一种准确工具。
