Update on this section
Could you explain the psychometric properties of GD measures? I'm still not entirely sure what that means in terms of that study/our future research. Thanks!
Hello all, I have added some info to this page regarding reliability and the need for further assessment to properly confirm/disprove reliability. If anyone has the chance to read through it or make edits if necessary I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
I have amended the passage in order to make it more direct and concise. I have taken what I understood to be the root idea of the original passage and then added what I see as a key element, namely the opportunity to separate factors related to mental and physical health into distinct “gender” and “biological sex” categories. My reasoning is that there is often a logical error that occurs when research points to the propensity of women or men to develop certain diseases or disorders. The error is that a statistical difference between men and women is usually assumed as the result of inherent genetic differences, while the broad category of socially constructed gender differences is ignored.
This is the reliability and validity of the measures and that is a big part of what this article has been about. Nevertheless, future research on this topic would be advantageous.
