Deenz Gender Dysphoria Scale (DGDS)
normative dataset currently contains
1483
participant records collected between
Jun 11, 2026
and
Oct 8, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 1483 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 50.81 with a standard deviation of 10.06, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis produced a Cronbach alpha of 0.63, which falls below commonly accepted psychometric standards and should be interpreted cautiously until additional data are collected. Observed skewness (-0.47) and kurtosis (0.87) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.
