Abstract

This study assessed the reliability of an updated two-step measure of gender and sex. Gender diverse youths (n = 610, Mean _age = 15 years, SD = 2) and their parents (n = 606, M _age = 48, SD = 5) completed a measure of sex and gender twice with a time delay of 30-60 minutes. Reliability was high, with 95% or higher agreement for sex and gender for both parents and youths. Reliability was highest for parents and for cisgender and transgender boys and girls, slightly lower for nonbinary youths, and lowest for youths who selected other options (e.g., "I don't know"). The two-step measure showed high levels of convergent validity as well. Results demonstrate that the two-step assessment with updated response options reliably identified participants' sex and gender, and these responses could be combined to classify gender modality, including to identify transgender individuals.

评估青少年和成人性别和社会性别的修订两步评估的可靠性。

本研究评估了更新的两步测量性别和性别的可靠性。性别不同的青少年（n = 610，平均年龄= 15岁，SD = 2）及其父母（n = 606，平均年龄= 48岁，SD = 5）在30-60分钟的延迟时间内完成了两次性别和性别测试。可靠性很高，父母和青少年对性别和性别的一致性达到95%或更高。父母、顺性和变性男孩和女孩的信度最高，非双性恋青少年的信度略低，选择其他选项（例如，“我不知道”）的青少年信度最低。两步测量也显示出高水平的收敛效度。结果表明，两步评估与更新的回答选项可靠地识别了参与者的性别和性别，这些回答可以结合起来分类性别模式，包括识别跨性别个体。
