| Abstract: | The purpose of this investigation was to develop an instrument to screen for the presence of problematic hypersexuality in a nonclinical sample of 357 adults residing in the United States. The problematic hypersexuality scale (PHS) was the product of this investigation and was designed to address the limitations of existing measures for this construct and gather psychometric evidence to support the intended uses of and claims drawn from this instrument. Empirical evidence for the use of the PHS as a screener was founded through factor analytic procedures, Rasch modeling, and the use of item response theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
