This study aimed to describe the development of the Perceived Therapist's Knowledge about Gender Identity Diversity Scale and to preliminarily validate this scale by describing its psychometric properties. This research instrument was constructed based on the existing literature and recommendations for instrument development. Initially, a 36-item scale was devised to assess perceived openness and knowledge about gender identity diversity in therapy. The content validation process involved 12 expert judges, leading to a refined 25-item scale. Participants consisting of 57 trans and non-binary Puerto Rican individuals completed the scale. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a unidimensional structure, supporting a single factor named "perceived knowledge about gender identity diversity in therapy." The final scale demonstrated excellent reliability (α = 0.978; α = 0.980; ω = 0.979), indicating strong internal consistency. This validated scale contributes to assessing primarily Hispanic trans and non-binary individuals' perceptions of their therapists' knowledge about gender identity diversity.
本研究旨在描述“感知到的治疗师对性别认同多样性的了解量表”的编制过程，并通过描述其心理测量学特性对该量表进行初步验证。本研究工具是基于现有文献和量表编制建议构建的。最初，设计了一个包含36个条目的量表，以评估在治疗中对性别认同多样性的感知开放性和了解程度。内容效度验证过程涉及12名专家评委，最终形成了一个精简为25个条目的量表。由57名波多黎各跨性别和非二元性别个体组成的参与者完成了该量表。探索性因素分析揭示了一个单维结构，支持一个名为“在治疗中对性别认同多样性的感知知识”的单一因素。最终量表显示出出色的信度（α = 0.978；α = 0.980；ω = 0.979），表明具有很强的内部一致性。这个经过验证的量表有助于评估主要是西班牙裔跨性别和非二元性别个体对其治疗师关于性别认同多样性的知识的看法。
