Development of Parents' Own Child Scale of the Greek Sexuality Attitudes Questionnaire – Learning Disabilities (GSAQ-LD) Joanna Karellou
Abstract The issue of sexuality is a major concern for parents of children with learning disability and causes them great anxiety. Due to the lack of large-scale studies examining parental attitudes towards the sexuality of people with learning disability in Greece, it was decided to develop and evaluate a culturally appropriate instrument to use with Greek parents. Thus, the Parents' Own Child scale was developed to assess parents' attitudes towards the sexuality of their own offspring with learning disability, as a part of the GSAQ-LD-PARENTS. The evaluation process of the measure indicated that the 11-item, Likert-type scale presents satisfactory item characteristics, adequate reliability and homogeneity and preliminary support for criterion-related validity. download article >>
