Through sexual exploration, adolescents learn that they are sexual beings with choices, desires, and are deserving of pleasure, which corresponds to sexual subjectivity. However, the two measures of this construct (i.e., Female Sexual Subjectivity Inventory and Male Sexual Subjectivity Inventory) have not been validated with younger adolescents and have different items for boys and girls (with no scale available for gender diverse individuals), limiting gender comparisons. This study examined (1) the factor structure of the adapted Short Sexual Subjectivity Inventory-11 items (SSSI-11) in a large sample of young cisgender, heterosexual and sexual and gender minority adolescents, (2) measurement invariance across language (English and French), gender, and sexual orientation, (3) validity with sexuality-related outcomes, and (4) one-year temporal stability. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis among 2001 adolescents (M = 15.5 years, SD = 0.60) revealed a multidimensional factor structure. The SSSI-11, in both English and French, showed adequate reliability and one-year temporal stability, and was invariant across genders, sexual orientations, and languages. Girls had lower scores on the entitlement to self-pleasure and self-efficacy in achieving pleasure factors, and higher scores on the entitlement to pleasure from a partner factor. No significant differences were observed on the basis of language or between heterosexual and sexual minority adolescents. The SSSI-11 correlated positively with sexuality-related variables. Findings support the strong psychometric properties of the SSSI-11, rendering it of considerable use in clinical, education, and research applications.
通过性探索，青少年了解到自己是有选择、有欲望的性存在者，值得享受快乐，这对应于性主体。然而，这个构念的两个衡量标准（即女性性主体量表和男性性主体量表）尚未在年龄较小的青少年中得到验证，而且男孩和女孩的项目不同（没有适用于性别多样化个体的量表），限制了性别比较。本研究在大量的年轻顺性别、异性恋和性少数群体青少年中检验了（1）适应的短性主体量表-11 项（SSSI-11）的因素结构，（2）跨语言（英语和法语）、性别和性取向的测量不变性，（3）与性相关结果的有效性，以及（4）一年的时间稳定性。在 2001 名青少年（M = 15.5 岁，SD = 0.60）中进行的验证性因素分析的结果表明，存在一个多维因素结构。SSSI-11 无论是英语还是法语，都具有足够的可靠性和一年的时间稳定性，并且在性别、性取向和语言上具有不变性。女孩在自我愉悦的权利和实现愉悦的自我效能感因素上的得分较低，而在从伴侣中获得愉悦的权利因素上的得分较高。基于语言或基于异性恋和性少数群体青少年，都没有观察到显著差异。SSSI-11 与性相关变量呈正相关。研究结果支持 SSSI-11 的良好心理测量特性，使其在临床、教育和研究应用中具有相当大的用途。
