TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - The Sexual Desire Conflict Scale for Women: construction, internal consistency, and two initial validity tests JO - Psychological reports A1 - Kaplan, L. A1 - Harder, D. W. SP - 1275 EP - 1282 VL - 68 IS - 3 N2 - The development of a 33-item Sexual Desire Conflict Scale for Women is described. The scale was designed to measure women's experiences of subjective discomfort and conflict in relation to sexual desire. 54 women participated: 18 survivors of childhood sexual abuse, 18 survivors of nonsexual trauma, 18 controls with no histories of trauma. Three factors accounted for 25.6, 12.9 and 7.6% of the variance. While no social desirability confounding was detected, the three groups had very different scores. Suggestions for research and clinical application are made.
