Abstract

We evaluated the measurement invariance of the Spiritual Values/Religion subscale from the Self-Description Questionnaire III (Marsh, 1992) across heterosexuals and non-heterosexuals. Configural, metric, and scalar invariance were established across the groups. The latent mean difference between the two groups indicated non-heterosexuals reported significantly lower levels of spiritual value/religion than heterosexuals.
