    La homonegatividad internalizada implica la internalización del estigma cultural asociado a la homosexualidad y de la devaluación social de cualquier comportamiento que difiere de la norma heterosexual. Este estudio evaluó las propiedades psicométricas de una versión en español de la Escala Revisada de Homonegatividad Internalizada (EHI-R) en hombres gais y mujeres lesbianas (formas paralelas). Utilizando un muestreo no probabilístico, se encuestó a 581 personas que se autoidentificaron como hombres gais o mujeres lesbianas, de entre 18 y 69 años. Los resultados confirman la estructura unidimensional de la escala y los buenos niveles de fiabilidad de ambas versiones (HI-Rgais=.80; HI-Rlesbianas=.83). Asimismo, los resultados indican que la HIR es un constructo que, a nivel métrico, es invariante entre hombres gais y mujeres lesbianas. Este estudio aporta con una medida psicométricamente sólida de homonegatividad internalizada para su uso en poblaciones de habla hispana.

    Internalized homonegativity involves the internalization of the cultural stigma associated with homosexuality and the social devaluation of any behavior that differs from the heterosexual norm. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Internalized Homonegativity Scale-Revised (IHS-R) in gay men and lesbian women (parallel forms). Using non-probability sampling, 581 people who self-identified as gay men or lesbian women aged 18-69 years were surveyed. The results confirm the unidimensional structure of the scale and the good reliability levels of both versions (IHS-Rgay=.80; IHS -Rlesbian=.83). The results also indicate that the HI-R is a construct that, at the metric level, is invariant between gay men and lesbian women. This study provides a psychometrically sound measure of internalized homonegativity for use in Spanish-speaking populations.
