Abstract

Deenz Gender Dysphoria Scale (DGDS) normative dataset currently contains 529 participant records collected between Jun 11, 2026 and Jul 11, 2026 .

This psychometric dataset currently includes 529 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 51.6 with a standard deviation of 8.96, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis produced a Cronbach alpha of 0.637, which falls below commonly accepted psychometric standards and should be interpreted cautiously until additional data are collected. Observed skewness (-0.38) and kurtosis (1.21) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Item Analysis Interpretation

Item–total correlations were generally strong across the assessment, indicating that most items contribute effectively to the measurement of the underlying construct. The analysis identified19 itemsthat may benefit from future review.

Items Recommended for Future Review
  • Q1 (r = 0.1)
    Sometimes I wish my body looked different.
  • Q3 (r = 0.02)
    I like trying clothes or hairstyles that feel fun to me.
  • Q5 (r = 0.24)
    If I could, I would experiment with my appearance.
  • Q6 (r = 0.1)
    I like dressing in ways that show who I am.
  • Q7 (r = 0.08)
    I enjoy mixing different styles or accessories.
  • Q8 (r = 0.08)
    I usually wear what people expect me to wear.
  • Q9 (r = 0.26)
    Sometimes I like clothes or styles that are unusual for me.
  • Q11 (r = 0.25)
    I like spending time with all kinds of people.
  • Q12 (r = 0.2)
    I feel comfortable with friends who are different from me.
  • Q13 (r = 0.24)
    Sometimes I enjoy activities with people of a different gender than me.
  • Q14 (r = 0.03)
    I don’t worry about whether games or activities are for boys or girls.
  • Q15 (r = 0.15)
    I feel happy when I talk or play with friends.
  • Q16 (r = 0.21)
    Sometimes I dream about being someone else.
  • Q18 (r = 0.2)
    If someone calls me by a different name or pronoun, it feels strange.
  • Q20 (r = 0.25)
    I sometimes imagine myself in a different role or character.
  • Q21 (r = 0.27)
    Sometimes I feel different from others around me.
  • Q23 (r = 0.16)
    I sometimes feel unsure about what I like or enjoy.
  • Q24 (r = -0.14)
    I feel happy when people listen to me or are kind.
  • Q25 (r = 0.16)
    I feel sad when people don’t understand me.
The lowest item–total correlation was observed for Q24 ("I feel happy when people listen to me or are kind."; r = -0.14), indicating comparatively weaker alignment with the overall construct.

Normative Data Notice

A total of 529 participant responses were available for this assessment. Dimension-level norms were calculated using 529 valid response records. Approximately 0 response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.

Limitations

Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
