Randomized trial validates the Spanish SSA scale for measuring sexual orientation uncertainty in diverse groups, indicating broad applicability.

To translate the SSA into Spanish and evaluate its psychometric properties across different demographics.
3,584 individuals from Spain participated between November 2019 and November 2020.
Completed the SSA to assess sexual orientation ambiguity and collect demographic data.
Confirmed the scale's one-factor structure and measured invariance across gender and sexual orientation, partially across age.
The SSA demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha > 0.90).
Measurement invariance across gender and sexual orientation was supported; partial invariance was observed by age.
Positive correlations indicated construct validity, linking uncertainty in sexual orientation with age of awareness and discomfort.

Ballester‐Arnal et al. (2026) studied this question.
