Abstract
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the 6-item Future Orientation Scale among fibromyalgia patients, LGBTQ+ individuals, and ethnoracially diverse college students indicated a unidimensional factor structure. Full configural and metric invariance and partial scalar invariance were found via multigroup CFA, demonstrating measurement invariance. Convergent and discriminant validity were also supported.
