PINEDA ROA, Carlos Alejandro. Psychometric properties of an internalized homonegativity test in colombian homosexual and bisexual men. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.1, pp.47-61. ISSN 0123-417X.  https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.33.1.8074.

The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the test Internalized Homophobia IHP, accessible and Herek auto Glunt report in 1995. A design of psychometric instruments was implemented. The sampling was non probabilistic type Snowball. 328 self-identified as homosexual men and bisexuals in three Colombian cities residents, aged 14 and 67, they answered the PHI. Evidence of content validity, and construct nomological is presented. Total reliability is analyzed and sub test was calculated by Cronbach's Alpha from the factors that threw the Exploratory Factor Analysis. Among expert judges there was significant agreement on consistency, adequacy, clarity and acceptability but not relevance of items; PHI has good nomological validity when correlated significantly with other cons-tructs such as gender roles (r = .36, p = .001), concern about body image (r = .35, p = .002) and minority stress (r = .25; p = .033). Exploratory factor analysis yielded two factors that explain 54% of variance. PHI has acceptable reliability (a total= .71; al = .84; a2 = .60). We conclude that this test has adequate psychometric characteristics.
